so far jungleman and i have played somewhere around 7,000 hands and im down right about 700k. I cant seem to find the ftp page with exact results, so i’ll ask someone to make that a little easier (or explain to me why im dumb). Anyway obviously the challenge hasn’t gone too well so far, but luckily theres still 43k hands left and i’m hoping they will go a little bit better than the first 7k. We’re obviously playing this challenge a lot faster than patrik and i played the last one, so hopefully we’ll be done with it in a reasonable timeframe. Dan’s going to london too and said he might be busy there- which i also will be some, so there might be a slight lull for 3 or so weeks- but hopefully we’ll still play a few thousand hands in that time. I’d really like to finish this by the end of october or so (and hopefully be up at least 700k by then). Have to run now- but i’ll try to get a more detailed blog up sometime soon.

was just in the duece tournament, and busted with about 30 people to go. At one point i had 4% of the chips so it seemed like a really good shot to win some bets, but it all went downhill from there. I got moved to a table with david baker, who i stake, and called someone from fulltilt who was supposed to put a blog up just to mention that. I don’t know why it didnt make it up, but i guess i’ll try to make more sure in the future if im deep in any tables with people im either rly good friends with or stake just to make sure everyone can check for themselves and know nothing shady is going on.
Im on huge lifetilt from busting right now, and have 1/2 my starting chips in the 400some player 1500$ stud tournament, so im gonna try to take a shower or something and find a way to get some motivation and go grind that one, but it’ll probably be hard after just busting from a tournament where i had 4% of the chips at one point.
Dave benefield who’s one of my best friends, and i lived (and i guess technically still fake-live) w/ is at the ft of the 5k nl, so my plan is to shower, then go there and sweat him- where he’ll hopefully bust yellowsub (who im fake rooting against since i only owe 12.5% of him), then somehow have some patience back to go play the stud and win some bracelets.

For the record, there is someone out there using @durrrrpoker on Twitter and it is NOT Tom. However, we do want to get Tom on Twitter and I need your help to convince him! Post the reasons you think Tom should start tweeting and maybe we’ll get somewhere

busted the 50k, lost a 90k pot at 300/600nl (150k starting chips) so that hurt a bit. Hopefully future tourneys will go better. I made a ton of bets, and winning a bracelet would definitely be my biggest winning day ever at this point- so u can extrapolate from there.

3.25 to 1 london counts, 3-1 it counts only as a chop (if i win there i dont lose but i dont win). I got nitted by eli and oppy… and only fair to give everyone the same lines. i hav 70% stack in 50k
oh also its most $$ cashed for not most cashes sry.

i’m taking the following bets:
3.25-1 on getting a bracelet this year, london counts
2-1 on getting 2 bracelets in 3years, london counts as a chop (if i win 2+ in vegas i win, if i win 8 in london 0/1 in vegas we wash)
me vs ivey getting 2-1, london counts, if we both win a bracelet its a wash (even if i win 8 and he wins 1 its a wash or vice versa)
me vs negreanu getting 2-1, london counts, if we both win a bracelet its a wash (even if i win 8 and he wins 1 its a wash or vice versa)
most cashes at wsop (with or without london) vs anyone of your choosing i get 1.3-1
if you wanna bet 5k+ and will escrow (or have someone i trust enough to vouch) message me on 2p2 and we can bet.
I’ll look before the 50k starts, and book bets then, if we bet after the 50k i’ll need 3.6-1 or some other solution (could play a bellagio prelim w/ similar # of people etc) for the 1year bet, and 2.1-1 for 2 in 3years.
If theres any crazy need for arbitration (harrah’s closes wsop after 12 events etc) all bets will be settled at the same rate as the 2-3 biggest bets i have (which in most fields will probably be with ivey/negreanu etc)
