Potential Prop Bet

Tagged:

So I'm trying to put a prop bet together on 2+2 for September that would help out a lot on my quest for SNE, but would also require a TON of work. Basically, I will have to play 10,000 $52-$108 buy-in DoNs in September AND show a profit. The volume alone will be pretty tough b/c it will require over 200 hours of poker and I don't think I've put in more than 150 or 160 in the last 3 years. On top of that, when playing all the time you just aren't as sharp as you are when you can cherrypick to play only when you feel like it.

The good news is that I'm getting 2.5 to 1 on this bet, which means my opponents must bet $250 to win $100 of my money. A large part of the value of this bet for me is that it will really motivate me to play a lot more than I would have otherwise, which is obviously good if my goal is SNE. I think if I put in a month with 200 hours of poker, that even if I fail in this prop bet, it's still worth it to me because it will have gotten me really close to SNE. My only fear is that I run really poorly right off the bet, then lose interest in trying to win the bet, so not only would I have lost a ton of money at the tables, but also lost the prop bet, and wouldn't have gotten the volume in September I was counting on. Hopefully I have just enough run good in me for September to take down this bet.

So far I have $4000 in action against my $1600, but I'm hoping for at least $5000 or $6000 to make this bet really worth my while. You can find more details on the prop bet here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/54/poker-beats-brags-variance/prop-bet...

If you're interested in betting against me, the minimum bet is $250 to win my $100, or you can ask one of the people who has already bet if you can just transfer to them for the purpose of this bet, then I will raise their total bet amount.
