Yeah I don't think it would be a big deal to start late. PM itsatrap and ask to get on the list, I'm 99.9% sure he'll be totally cool with it.

Is it time to start the Brags already? hahaha nice work sir


I wasn't kidding when I said Snarble was my favorite to win the ballers bracket... I'm also sure he's going to give Grindcore, Shuttle, and Hielko a run for their money.

there are 2 criteria to win.

trying to win it in the first 500 or 5000 hands shouldn't even be a consideration. you can't win it now, no matter how hard you try, but you can certainly lose. this is like the first level of a tourney.


Very much this... just completing the 50k hands within bankroll limits is a feat. Only like 5-6 out of like 50 did it last year so stay at it

Yeah, i def ran bad and hit my $100 stop loss in 2 sessions, I knew using an aggro BRM was gonna be risky....oh well. I'll still be at 50nl by the end of my 50k hands, even though im out of the challenge technically!

So you're telling me there's a chance.... LOL...
I'm single tabling the lowest stakes at my site... I can cope, just turning up the music a little louder than usual

Unless I go on a heater I doubt I'll win because I'm placing a high priority on not busting the roll.

1217 hands logged so far. 87 days left. volume IS going up, however. i feel pretty confident i can put in the volume necessary for someone who only plays 2-3 hours a day. i'm waking up early Saturday (super unusual for me) to get my weekend started right. Smile

Busto!

Moved down to 10NL and lost my last 4BIs in 400 hands. Played terribly as GC can probably confirm.
