i've been really lazy logging hands as well as generally not playing my best this month (down 2k). next month has to be different, and hopefully FTR can help make august a memorable month in poker!
Here are the terms of the prop bet i'd like to set up:
(if you have other suggestions let me know in this thread)
-winnings can only come from 200NL or lower 6handed
-im flexible on the size of the wager, but im thinking somewhere between 200-500USD would work best for generating incentive/keeping stress low
-the timeframe will be from august 7 to august 21
-for the sake of convenience, please have a pokerstars or full tilt account set up so money can be easily transferred to the winner
the person with the highest net profit, verified through PT/HEM screenshot (or whatever additional ways of verifying there are), over the two week period wins. the more who participate, the more fun this will be!
I will be out of town and without internet access from august 1 to august 6, so all those interested must let me know before 11:59PM on July 30

the one big reason i can think of that makes this not a viable option is the fact that you could play far less hands than someone else who netted a higher profit and win anyways. maybe we'll end up adjusting the terms?

He's saying that if you do it by winrate, playing A can play 1k hands at 5 BB/100 and player B can play 4k hands at 2.5 BB/100.
Player B will have a higher profit, but player A will win with less profit but higher BB/100.
Also, it's harder to compare BB/100 amongst different stakes, cause some levels are easier than others. 3 BB/100 at one stake isn't the same as another.

well if your normal stakes are 100/200nl then this would help you make money by motivating you to play more...
Anyways here are my thoughts on this:
-I will participate if we get a couple more to join in
-Winner is decided by total money won, not pt/bb
hmm thought i had more, but thats it for now. I will keep checking this thread to see how it develops

Maybe I will participate, I also thnk that total money won is the correct way to do it. I also like the idea that |~|ypermegachi mentioned to have a minimum raked hand size.

If I run pretty badly I´ll be playing a decent amount of nl200 during that time span and I´d def be interested
Unfortunately I prob won t be able to tell you during the timeframe mentioned.

when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

He isn't talking BB/100. He is talking cumulative BB's over the specified period so 100NL guys can get in on this without getting crushed dollarwise.

Alright so im guessing you want confirmation, so i will confirm my participation in the prop bet (for now assuming there is atleast 2 other people participating, I can definately change my mind on this though). I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of $250-$300 but am semi flexible. Before it starts we should set a clear set of rules to avoid confusion etc. Oh, and escrow??

I can escrow for you guys if you want.
I may be gone for 5 days around the 21st of aug but besides that I'll be around... + I may get in on this at the last minute.

biglrip it looks like it's just you and me right now
if we don't get anyone else to confirm they will participate by midnight tonight, i think we'll just drop the prop bet.
