boku87 sick propbet: $100 into 10k in 15 days

SoyCD · 2009-02-23T18:18:40Z

So our German PokerStrategist boku87 who is well known in the German ps.com community for his blog detailing his rise from beginner to SuperNova Elite has recently announced quite an interesting prop-bet. He will start with $100 (so twice the starting capital) and grind it up to $10,000 in just 15 days. He will do this playing nothing but SNGs with a maximum buy-in of $16. He will start with the $1 SNGs on PokerStars. He will play mainly 18 and 45 man SNGs. He is giving 3:1 odds and will be taking 35k vs 105k in action (and pretty much already has that much) Is he crazy? Can he make it?

I watched some of his games... He was losing yesterday after 10 p.m. EET he caught a huge downswing yesterday. I believe in him. He'll get over this challange. He has 6 days and it is enough to accomplish 10k.

Jesus that's an amazing burden on his brain/body... I hope he doesn't go nuts or something...

and imagine if a tourney lasts longer than usual omfg.. I can't play when I'm sleepy.. I don't recommend it to anyone. I usually play poker when I feel energic and listening to music.

Boku has spoken ♦

My only goal at this point is playing 10K Sngs. if I cant even archieve a 1$ per game winrate over a 10K sample size I dont deserve to win this bet anyway

Spoken like a true grinder :heart:
