I'm surpriced that there's no topic about this yet.

Some guy 'wcg|rider' has taken on a bet that he can win 10k$ in 1 month without rakeback on 25NL FR on pokerstars.
He's putting in about 20k to win 50k for the bet.

He's playing 24 tables at once for about 15 to 16 hours a day. After a week he's up 1810$ after 137k (!) hands.

His blog: http://dougkpolk.blogspot.com/
His webcam: http://www.justin.tv/wcgrider

It's really crazy to see someone multitabling that much, and meanwhile singing to music, chatting on the webcamchat, or even play 2 MTT's extra.
But then again, he can describe a hand like he's 2-tabling.

yeah but if/when he wins, it'll be over 60k$. Worth it for a month of intense playing + 1 month off

btw this is his 1st week's graph:

he has some catching up to do ^^

140k hands in 1 week

I bet thats a lot of FPP. So aside from 2000$ up he can probably get himself a new home entertainment system from the Stars shop.

And who says you can't live a good life as a micro-limit grinder? ♦

Lol, grinding NL25 by 14 tabling 8+ hours a day isn't exactly what I'd call "a good life" ♦

Him winning 10k would prove something. That there is a way to make a living ( very uncomfortable one indeed) at NL25.

he's trying to prove that NL25 is still very much beatable.

he's a very strong player.. but he won't make it. he's only on 1810$ after 1 week.

Agree with Chenny. And no matter how strong he is, he can have 100k hands downswing, and lose $2k, which blows him out of the water. Brave try though.

I have faith in that guy, I hope he hits 100k hand upswing!

This weekend is very important... more fish, so this is his chance to get back on schedule.

His pokerEV-graph looks ubernitty, but that's normal for 24-tabling I guess...
(he's up 2060 now btw)

I've seen him on my tables 3 times thus far, yesterday he took off from a table that just broke off with 65$ in only about 40 minutes, I haven't seen him lose many hands ... he's very, very solid, I have his stats as 17/17/8 over 965 hands ... basically I stayed out of his way the entire time.

I believe he can make it, but he's gonna have to put a LOT of hands in... he's not so far behind pace.

Most 2+2'ers have bet against him I believe (not sure at all).

I didn't see you then... But I'm on that cam every time I'm online... Just for the music (and for the freeroll he was giving if the channel reaches 1k viewers, although I don't think he'll ever get there)
So I don't always pay attention to the chat...
