Lol Volume betaments

Volume required: 80hours of 10nl or higher for the month of August.

Penalty: If you do not reach 80 hours, you pay those involved $25

Sidebet: The person who has the most hours gets $10 from everyone involved.

Buyout: You may buy out at anytime before August 15th for $17.5 to everyone involved.

Persons involved: Penney, Hoopy, JKDS

Sign here, and post updates on hours...or not. On Sept 1st Pokertracker or HEM data proving hours must be shown.

GL, GO GO GO

EDIT: whoops. It seems i fail at wording. This is a bet just between Penney, Hoopy, and JKDS.

If this goes well, next month ill make one for everyone to join. Sorry for any confusion.

winrate clauses?

Obviously JKDS will play SC2 all month and be owing teh $.

nah mean bro?

GOGOGO

in b4 winz.

I plan on doing nuthin for the first 26 days and then pulling a Phil Laak-style 80+ hr session.

Either that or 4 hrs a day for 20 days but whatever works.

By the way - nice intro poast

First, nice thread title. Second, I may have to get in since I played 120 hours last month without a hitch.

OP fixed cuz im an idiot and didnt clarify that its only between us 3. If enough people want to though, i could organize a different one where everyone contributes to a pool and the winners split the pool. That kind of bet would be more friendly to a large number of persons involved.

Can I get in on this knowing that I'll only be playing for 3/4 weeks this month?

other props deserve their own threads imo

Question: Tourneys count, right? and what if we play a drunken FTR IRC PLO game, that counts too? (may be harder to track since I dont have PLO on my PT)

If the tracker you uses tracks it then it counts. Otherwise no.

That's cool. My 120 hours is skewed since I single table a lot while working during the day. GL all and see you at the 10 enels.

7.6 hours so far (and up 6.5 BIs over 2,274 hands)

I'm at 6 hours so far and down 1BI over 1321 hands, hopefully when I get my luckbox back from the workshop things should improve.

14 hours. My bankroll really wished stars used lube though.

13 hours and I may have to buy you guys out. RL tilt issues. Not sure if I'll be playing poker or hanging around the forums much over the coming weeks. I can't be playing unless I'm in a good spot mentally and I'm just not there right now.

Oh btw in case there were any sidebets this has nothing to do with my relationship with my gf, oddly enough.

Ship buyout to nani9000 (tucson) at stars please

Your concern for other members of the human species is commendable. Stay classy, JKDS.

I'll advise by Aug 15th whether I'll need to buyout the prop, as agreed.

13 hours (lol volume fail), must do better.

Hope the RL tilt issues get better Penney.

I hear this a lot. People tell me all the time that my biggest character flaw is that I care TOO much about other people.

21 hours

27 hours, didnt play sat, sun, or much of mon. Am i still beating all you guys? :P

Yes

I'm at 26.5 hours.

Alright well despite certain extenuating circumstances, a prop is a prop and I'm not giving up without a fight.

30 hours of cash + 3 hours of (non-overlapping) tournament sessions, so 33.03 hours total to be exact.

I won't be playing much the next 4 days so I imagine I'll have some ground to make up in the second half of this month. GL guys.

Grafs are fun, so here's mine so far this month.

[x] horrible 9 BI downswing
[x] inspiring comeback

Ha i knew that'd encourage you.

Your graph makes me cry btw.

Because i had a similar loss. -10bi due to 'lol, how i play poker' (NOT variance/swing whatever). Took forever to grind that back. Yay for stellar rewards + bonus to help me through that. If the other side continues i should be at 25nl by end of august...IF it continues.

30hrs so far, and glad to see we have similar hands played.

31.9 hours 10NL + 2 hours of Tourney's + 4.5 hours PLOL

GL keep going guys.

Graph of 10NL so far.

Ship your buyouts to nani9000 at stars please kthx!

Man I keep getting assraped in tournaments. I run real nice in cash but in tourneys I can't win a frip to save my life. Hell even when I'm miles ahead I lose. AA < 66 to make it deep in a 3+0.30 (AIPF obv). Whatev.

Anyhow I've got an exam monday so I'm at 35 hours until that evening at least. You guys should be at least 10 hours ahead of me by then, if not I'll be disappointed. I'ma grind like a mofo from that point on though. Be ready bishes!

PS hoopy let's see that omaha graf!!! kinda surprised you're confident enough in your game to play at the same steaks we do NLHE. I'm such a scrub at omaha.

Fail by me, I just assumed all PLO counted but since it's gotta be 10NL+ my 2NL spewing don't count.

Oh man :/ sorry I just assumed you meant your PLO was 0.05/0.10.

I was in no way trying to expose you as a spineless cheater.

Just a friendly reminder that you guys have until 11:59pm tomorrow night to ship your buyouts to nani9000 on pokerstars. If I'm in a good mood, I'll allow a grace period of a few hours...but theres no guarantee. So stop procrastinating, and start shipping BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

-JKDS 38hrs

Cementing Ending Time.

Hoopy is GMT 0

Penney is GMT -5

JKDS is GMT -7

Prop ends at midnight according to your GMT on Sept 1st.

Quick update, I'm sitting at 34.12 cash hours and 3.88 tourney for a total of 38 hours on the nose. I'm guessing you're both ahead now due to weekendaments?

41.5 hours

48.3 + 2 hours and trying not to exhaust my supply of rungood since it's really difficult to buy nowadays.

45.35 hours

gayest session in a long time, ran 2 BI under AIEV and proceeded to tilt like a motherfucker. I guess I should be glad I was only down 1.3 BI by the end of it.

oya and that came after 6 straight winning sessions, so

C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER

Im at something like 52hrs atm and 15k hands.

53.4 hours and 12.5k hands.

52.08 hours and on a 5 BI downswing

Set over set twice in same session -2.1 BIs

I "sort of" misplayed the hands but they were mainly due to playing too passive on the flop and lets face it the money was going in anyway

meanwhile newfish is up like 9 BIs on the day and I hear him talking in skype about how he failed to get max value out of his full house, made straight, nut flush, or how his quads crippled the deck and his opponent can't have anything to pay him off with

I mean running bad sucks but simultaneously listening to a dude commenting incessantly about how he's running like baby jesus just makes it that much worse

graf for completeness

I guess that's more of a 3.5-4 BI downswing

53.8, 16k hands.

And...

IM ON A NORMAL SLEEP SCHEDULE AGAIN!

let's get your 2/3 month progress grafs up fellas. It's only fair.

I'll once again be gone all weekend. I should have a good 9 days left to make 80 hours though.

Bitch please, i aint try n con u

57.4 hours total.

[x] buying black-market rungood as we speak

Well I just got back from a trip to the country with some friends so I haven't played since my last update. You should still have a slim lead on me.

This Just In:


* JKDS slaps penney
<JKDS> can cancel most hours prop and only do the 80?
<Penneywize> yes can, ask hoopy though
<Penneywize>
* JKDS slaps Hoopy_GW2 with a big red brick
(...)
<Hoopy_GW2> I'm fine with that
<JKDS> yay!
* JKDS pressure off
<Penneywize> hi5!
<JKDS> hi5
<Hoopy_GW2> lulz
<JKDS> i slacked hella hard and no way im getting enough to win the 10
<JKDS> i might fail at 80 O.O
<Penneywize> heh
<Hoopy_GW2> nah
<Penneywize> I'm at like 54? hours for the month
<JKDS> ya same lol
<Penneywize> so I've got work to do :/
<Penneywize> been away all weekend drinking and cavorting so :/
<Penneywize> I tried to log in
<Penneywize> and play
<JKDS> the pool hall with redic cheap pool opened again
<Hoopy_GW2> that's what I was going to do
<Penneywize> on dial-up
<JKDS> sooo ive been ther
<JKDS> lol
<Penneywize> bad idea :/

Therefore the "most hours" portion of the prop is off. Way to fail, guys!

63 hours biatchs!

59.46 hours

61.5 hours, any updates guys?

No grafs till the end of the month though k

69 hours and swonging around.

63 hours and ran -3BI in all-in EV in a 1.5 hr session. FML Fjsad fjdskl;jf ka;dsjf ;klajsdfk jsd;kflj sd;kjfadskfj;ksldjfakl;sdjfka;ldsjf;kljasdf;klj sd;klfja ;sdlk

AA < A5s aipf HU
AKs < AJo aipf

3-bet light, got called behind by a shortstacker, original raiser folded.. flop brings JXX 2-tone giving me a flush draw, so I put the shortstacker all-in (he had like 3/5 psb behind) and he shows J9. I had like 48% equity... You figure out the rest

So I ended up down 2.8 BIs and mercifully put the session to an end 2 hours earlier than I had hoped.

Worst session ever

wow, that's like not even my worst hand ever

Originally Posted by daven

lol

I did mean in terms of dollars lost though, not BIs... I've had a few -4 BI sessions, my worst must be something like -4.5 BIs... I think I've just gradually learned to be a session nit who quits at the first signs of tilt

67.3 hours and jesus fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I had been down 2 BIs nearly the entire session but owned a bunch of fish and finished up 1.5 BI. So I've had 3 horrible downswings this month. gay

oya I woulda been up 2.5 BIs if QQ had not been outdrawn by AK aipf

bai

[ ] 2 BIs is a downswing

o_O

lol at complaining about QQ<AK and being down a bi or two. This might not be your game penney

61 hours or so...im gonna get there damn it i got like 6 days left

Meh, you'll see what I'm talkin about when I post my gay graf at the end of the month

lol at complaining about QQ<AK and being down a bi or two. This might not be your game penney

[ ] complained that QQ < AK
[x] just mentioned I'd have been up another BI
[x] fuck you JKDS

Shot taking 25nl soon (br is like $514 atm), so ill be shrinking the number of tables soon. If you guys object i can just as easily continue 4-8 tabling 10nl and pad the br a bit but id rather not.

64 hrs and rushing like 3-4 hour days to finish this thing

go for it bud, as long as you think you're ready... you should be fine

no objections for low # of tables; we propped on hours not hours + min amount of tables played. I think I've averaged 4.5 tables or something so far.

71 hours btw

13 hours left...3 days...this will be fun.

80 HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHIP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

78 hours atm guess I'm there as well, gonna keep putting in volume though

9 and 2/3 left...ugh...tomorrow and tuesday are going to suck. But at least pokers fun again
