because there is no rake at playmoney, and they dont want to people start buying play money to play there instead of real money

Well, his busto with first 5$ and now getting second 5$ basicly sends message... no you can't make 5$ into $100k :) marketing trick failed! :)

Next marketing turn will be..

"If you lost your $5... don't give up... deposit additional $5 and win $100k" :))))

roflmao... and yes, with his grinding capabilities it's not a challenge at all... well... not in 1 year timeframe.

Personally I think the 2nd stake is kinda lame... hope he busts that one too... I wanna see him grind the freerolls like it said he would in the first post... that would make it a bit more interesting, I still think he would do it easily...


from about 13 hours ago saw a graph on 2+2. Bokus at about 1100!.. of course that was 13 hours ago.. who knows by now!


i love this. Even the best grinders can go broke on the micros with a small roll


From $5 ($10) to that in 6 days.

that graph just makes me sick rather than motivate me to want to play 125 sng's a day or 30 table for hours on end.

last 500 games, $1000 profit at what looks like $6 sng's, so about 35%ROI?

sick sick sick


lol hes a monster, and he definitely started out at less than $6!!


He must be the luckiest person ever, because I've seen some crazy shit in the micro limits. and when I say crazy, it's sick to your stomach crazy.

I don't get this challenge to be honest....

fine good marketing, good publicity sort of.

In truth... if you play like this you probably have no live after some time . Hence I don't think anyone would be able to copy, or want to copy this and it projects an overall fake image of poker and how fast you can win with poker.

And no I am not jealous. Money is good and all... but playing like that will make you mentally and physically sick after some time and probably a outcast.

He doesn't do it all the time though......after the last challenge he was talkinjg about going off on holiday for a month. A few weeks of sick grinding to let you just chill for a month or more cant be bad

If you could get the results Boku does then you wouldn't need to grind more than 5 or 6 hours a day to make serious money. Grinding is repetetive and boring but there are millions of people out there who work a lot harder under much more stress who don't earn even close to Boku's earning potential.

Key to reducing variance is multitable.

I saw boku on some of my tables this morning (unfortunatly couldn't bust him and take the screenshot ). since he has made it already into the $12s I think this will be pretty easy for him from now on :rolleyes:
