small stakes prop bet (cancelled)

[Vi-Zer0Skill]

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

for those of us that arent rolled enough can we measure profits in BB?

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?

I dont understand what you mean.

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.

hmmm so far i'm not seeing the interest i'd hoped

[BigLRIP]

I'd probably be interested. Id prefer to "buyin" closer to $200 than $500 though.

[|~|ypermegachi]

oh u can set up something like whoever who has at least a 2ptbb/100 winrate AND at least 10k hands (or whatever) wins.

[Deanglow]

how about you guys focus on making money. just my 2c

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

[ignored]

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.

[Genitruc]

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.

I'd smoke you all if we did it by bb/100.

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.

[BigLRIP]

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??

[Genitruc]

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.

[Vi-Zer0Skill]

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.
