One month, one million (hands)

This Athene-guy who was trolling 2p2 a while ago, says he will play 1 million hands in December, and if he do, he thinks stars will sponsor him. Bet a dollar he will go insane half-way....

he will make it imo

whos coaching him?

Didnt this guy make lvl 80 paladin in a day or something in warcraft?

How many hands/hr can someone do 24tabling? He'd need like 32k/day.

I will start every day playing 24 tables 9max 100NL as i beat it lately for a good profit to build a roll then switch to 24 tabling 6max 25NL when i'm less focussed and even if i'd lose some i'd still be break even.

sounds like a plan

I think if they are all fast you can do like 1600 per hour? Also did he really do a lvl 80 in one day? that's pretty wicked.

wow this guy is sick if he makes it

btw. i guess our joeingram1 (chicagojoey) wrote at 2+2 that he will try 1,25mil in 1 month if someone does 1mil/1mo
can anyone confirm?

i cheer for him, hes doing a good job
and was kinda suprised when he showed his 108k roll ;o
he like literally never played higher than 100nl ...

I would bet on him. I love this guy and i've never played WoW.

Seems like a nice guy, I hope he makes it.

that guy is so crazy

Im pretty sure he did it, and i think he was first lvl 80 ever. But he had a bunch of people help him powerlevel.

Yes the guy made a level 80 in WoW in actually less than 24hrs played it was 18hrs if i remember right.The normal amount of time an avarage dude would reach it was about ~13days played.

What i know is - this guy will surely try his best to succeed in the challenge.He looks like the kind of guy that sets a goal and does everything to accomplish it.However .. 1mil hands in 1 month this sounds impossible.Even if he does it i m sure there ll be some real health consequences.Maybe it seems something normal to sit in front of a computer for a month but this challenge demands a lot of things: he cant take tilt breaks, he ll basically have no time for anything else than sleeping like 6-8 hours a day and playing other 16-18hrs.

Can someone calculate how many hands/hr must he play in order to succeed in 31 days 24 tabling 16 hours

2016.13 h/hr

This guy is an epic troll, his vid library on youtube is amazing, I've watched some of it before, hadn't heard about this 1m hand thing yet though, looks interesting.

Around 87 h / hour average per table if he plays 24 tables 16 hours per day for 31 days.

I don't think you get 87h/hour on average on 9max. Sick if he makes it, but I don't think so.

Edit: Sick mullet too btw. And I kinda miss his companion, he's so awesome.

Wow Athene plays online poker too!? This guy is becoming one of my heros now.
Will he only be eating brocolli during the whole entire process?

lol, he actually levelled a friend from 70-80 in about a day and didnt level himself

That was using an exploit and not due to excessive play or anything and doesnt help him in this situation whatsoever.

Basically in instances/dungeons in WoW due to the game mechanics whenever you attack a creature you are considered to have 'tagged' that mob, if someone is to kill that mob after you've tagged it, you still get credit for the kill (loot/experience). You get more experience the more damage you do to the mob.

So, typically a group setup will be:

1. tank - able to take lots of damage (the guy levelling to 80)
2. dps - able to kill packs of mobs quickly
3. dps
4. dps
5. healer (athene)

What they did was they would kick the tank from the group (WoW mechanics give you 1 minute to return to the party or else you're teleported out of the dungeon) then the tank would tag all of the mobs and then they would reinvite him to the party so he doesnt get kicked from the instance/dungeon. By tagging all the mobs he got full credit / experience for all of the kills and as a result managed to level extremely quickly.

Note that athene didnt actually level to 80 himself, it was his paladin tank friend who levelled. Also, due to the mechanics of the game, as his friend levelled higher and higher, he did more damage as that particular tank spec is an AoE tank which is great for taking on wave after wave of mobs. This means he got more experience %wise as he levelled but also less at the same time b/c of the lowering level of the mobs in comparison to his current level.

Its just hilarious that athene was still something like level 71 when his friend was level 80 then started claiming world first to 80 when in fact it was his friend who actually hit 80.

he has no shot.
unless you multitable across multiple sites and play 30+ tables this cant be done. he would need to play close to 18 hours a day, no chance

this is assuming full ring and not 6max

1 000 000 / 31 days / 16 hours = ~2016 hands per hour

2016 hands per hour / 24 tables = ~84 hands per hour per table

isnt this idiot an old troll? just watch his vids
