September: BC Volume Goal Prop

So JKDS sort of wanted to do a pool since his Volume Prop thread got a lot of interest in the Blogs and Ops section, but he's a lazy POS so I figured I'd start it.

Minimum of 40 hours.

How this will work: There will be 3 pools, a $10, $25, and $50 pool. You can buy in for one, you can buy in for all three, its up to you. The more you BI for, the more you can potentially win. Players A-J enter.

A-C BI for $10 pool
D-F BI for $10 and $25 pool
G-J BI for $10, $25, and $50 pool

$10 pool has a total of $100
$25 pool has a total of $175
$50 pool has $200

Player J doesn't make it, he forfeits his $85 BI. $50 is chopped up between G-H, $25 is chopped up between D-H, and $10 is chopped up between A-H.

You can only profit from what you bought in for.
- I.e. if you buy in for $25 and $10 pool and someone from $50 pool doesn't make it, you don't share his $50 BI, only the $25 and $10 if he bought in for those.

Post how many hours you are shooting for and what pools you want in. I'll figure out an escrow after there is a decent amount of interest and we the BI amount figured out.

Beginning time: September 1st at 12am EST

Ending Time: October 1st at 12am EST

Must be able to update once a week. Final graph is due no later than a week after the Ending Time. If you don't have a tracker for the game you are playing (I don't, playing PLO) I'll just take a screen shot of Sessions tab (tracks up to 2 weeks of sessions) and post in here and have someone ITT confirm number. Others are welcome to do the same.

I'll edit OP to keep up to date with who is interested.

PM me if interested in being the escrow.

I'll be going for 80 hours.

IMA TAKE YOU DOWN SON.

Obv in for like 80+. I don't think people should be allowed into the pool unless they are going for a reasonable amount of hours like 50 minimum. Cmon peeps, I'm doing 80 with school full time and probably a part time job.

In for 60, will change to 80 if i find out im unemployed.

Lets see whos interested imo and then determine the bi. Like, if its mainly 2nl-10nl a $20 wont work well...but if its mainly 10-25nl guys then fuck off at $20 bi and we should go $50 nah mean

Hmm...I wanted to set a goal for myself because I have internet access less than half of the month so my goal would be supppper low compared to others. Can I do like 40?

Yea if its reasonable I won't turn it down. I think 40 will be the minimum though, unless you're fairly well known and have like 2 jobs + school, etc.

warble 120 hourz wai not

step up bitches

ok fine. 70 hours. 20 bucks is fine.

in for 80+

80hrs of HU

In 4 10,25,50

cool idea, I cant do it this month but maybe next month

in for 80 hours of FR 10nl and hopefully 25nl also

in for 10 and 25

So this is a pool I'm allowed in???

All three, 70hrs.

i don't understand
#hrs varies for each $value in the pool?

like 40hrs for the $10, 60 for the $25, 80 for the $50?
else why not just say
daven - 40hrs, all 3 pools and ez game

cos i'll be leaving the country at 3 weeks. 40hr weeks of poker play would be tight. I'll think about it

Halo Reach comes out in less than 2 weeks. I'll be no lifeing poker and reach. and reach will be the same as vacation.

no. u sign up for whatever pool(s) u want...with one number of hours as a goal. Terrible goals are shot down, and those that meet their goal split the money from those that dont.

prolly make more sticking my money in a bank for the month amirite

so you guys are giving spoon a freeroll for ur cash then?

if u pick a redic small amount of numbers wifout a legit excuse gtfo

QFT and if anyone says why is yaawn only doing 80hrs, it's because 80hrs HU is probably 2x as brutal as 160hrs of 6m or FR and I'll be playing other games also.

Originally Posted by Bbickes

got it, makes sense!

75hrs, it's so low cos i won't be playing any poker from september 22nd onwards.
all 3 pools obviously

200 hours whos in

sign me up for the bitch pools please

lol take me out of $10 pool, only mentioned i was considering.

Not likely I'd even hit 40 considering I'm working 100+ a week and have to travel and work 3/4 weekends this month.

sounds gangsta, im game sir.

LETS GET IT ON

already in play

<surviva> considering doing the BC prop-a-ments
<surviva> but don't know if i'm gonna get a job
<surviva> in which case i'm guaranteed failed-a-ments
<surviva> can i do the prop for 85 and buy out for like 20 if i get employed?
<+yaawn> ldo
<dranger> ^

in for all 3 pools. will ship to yaawn, so he can work on that street cred. hopefully he doesn't blow it all on some sweet mega death hammer in WoW or something.

oh, my goal is 76.03 hours by the way (would be personal best for hours in a month where i'm in school).

in b4 dranger bitches about how i have to round up or something. fuck you in advance dranger, it's 76.03 hours or it's nothing

Can I still get in all 3 for 80 hours?

sounds fine to me

who are we shipping to?

*** Mine has a caveat, as all 70 hrs must be while banging drangers mom or I don't win.

wtf dont ship unless you lose. too much shit to deal with otherwise

25

Shit forgot about this already lol. (Stoneraments, etc) but I'm playing Rush PLO on FTP to clear a $400 bonus right now (found out about it after I made this :/) and I don't have a tracker so I won't be able to keep track of number of hours played. GL everyone!

Am I in dranger? JFC

14

Idk are you? I must have missed your post earlier.

If people want me to ship the $35, I can do that. Seems like its still early enough that it wouldn't be a big deal, but w/e.

Ur in CBAT

yea i dont mean ship now obv wait til we know who makes it, but still ship ldo unless you can get something that proves the hours youve logged

Can i back out?

lol JKDS, this is the first time I've seen your sig. I don't even remember saying that

13.72. Dranger sucks

I'm still aiming to play 80+ hours this month, I just won't have any way of proving that I did. :/

well then wtf if you can't prove your hours? JFC

This thread became a major fail in the matter of twelve hours.

What if you drop to 40hrs JKDS? Would that help?

Not really a fan of people committing to a bet and then being able to back out because we never arranged for an escrow. Nothing personal at all, just gambling principle.

yea its nothing against jkds or dranger cause they are both coo, its just the point i think that at the end of the prop if you signed up and you cannot prove that you have attained the goal you set for yourself then bam you have to ship, that was the rules of the prop

15hrs. 20% of the way there.

17.23 so far. Got another session in me tonight probably.
.-46BB/100 at 25s this month right now. =\ How fun.

I didnt really expect it to be that big a deal. I asked on day 3/30 of the prop so its not like its been going on forever and then i just decided against it. Im really just so poker burnt out that i have absolutely no desire to play atm...and it really has nothing to do with not being able to prove it (as id only play like 25nl on stars and pt3 would track it anyways). The idea of buying out hasnt even been discussed though, and if its an option i want to take it. Thats all really

Like I said before, I have no problem shipping at the end of the month if its really that big a deal to you guys to win $5 or something. Just let me know who to ship to.

don't get why you're willing to pay $35 for a prop but not $50 for an omaha tracker if plo's gonna become your main game? Unless there's something I'm missing

these two things are key
no problem with me if you pull out dude
and if someone else gets really sick or whatever - a real reason - it's also fine.

@ dranger - get the omaha addon for sure, it works on rush, etc...

I don't have a PC to put the omaha tracker on yet lol. I'm still on a Mac until I can buy a PC.

This is the worst prop bet thread ever.

this, like srsly.


obv jkds i was talking about dranger trying to prove it, but why hop in on the prop with no desire to play? makes no sense

its not about the 5 extra bucks (although the extra rakeback would be nice) its just more about the point of it all, but w/e if everyone wants to let you guis off hook then im not gonna cry about it

my vote is 1/2 cost buyouts by half way through month

This is cool and all but wouldn't you think we should promote people in our BC to learn how to win rather than learn how to put in millions of hands?

PT3 Omaha works on mac imo

20hrs

This thread has nothing to do with hands played. It is only about how many hours you put in. You could do this prop by 1 tabling for > x number of hours.

x = the amount of time that you bet


I just think that if you make a prop bet you must have someway of proving how much you have played and you should not be able to opt out of the prop unless it is something serious as in a family issue. And if you do want out there should be some sort of clause, like if you opt out before the second week is over it costs 1/2 or something along those lines.

Update: 19 hours

I don't get why everyone is raising a huge stink about this. For the 8th time I'll pay jfc. You are the ones making this the 'worst prop bet thread ever.'

we know youll pay dranger and uve been a good sport, and im not hating on jkds either cause he hasnt really been unwilling to pay, but it just makes us feel like some gay parent or something having to enforce the rules when this was basically urs and jkds idea lol...

either way my vote stands as a half price buyout for first half of month....i say everyone in prop votes imo

heh, the main reason i didnt make it was because of issues i didnt know how to handle lol.

$5 and $12.5 = $17.5 shipped to dranger7070

jkds you are a gentleman and a scholar

There is a way around it. You could just take picture of your PTR sessions thing and total it up that way throughout the month.

+1

pretty sure I'll get my 80hrs only playing 16-20k hands

i only joined prop under conditions i specified already, so i'm standing by those conditions. buy out structure that DC's going with for people who didn't make other arrangements sounds good though

I would do this except I'm playing Rush PLO, so its not tracked by PTR.
