A challenge to myself (and a propbet too)

Ok.

In 2011, I got much better at playing the 45 mans up to $7 and multitabling them. In order to get out of my BR nittiness, I've decided that for 2012 to provide myself an incentive.

I will achieve Platinum Star at least once in 2012 playing only 45/180 man turbos. This means that I'll needing to play at the $30 level (or I'd slit my wrists) at some point in the year.

Platinum Star needs 1363.63 in rake paid.
At the $30 level for 45 mans I need to play 581 games in a month.

As added incentive, I'm gonna propbet this.
My $10 to your $5. I'll take a max of $200 in bets. All bets will be self escrow.

Sharkscope shall be the final arbiter. I will provide a screenshot for the month I hit Platinum .
I must show an ROI of 15% for the month to count for the prop bet.

Any takers?

Cerb $5
JohnnieH $10
Wolffhound $10
actyper $20
GTA $50
moose $10
wes $20
Vekked $75

The prop is that you can play 132 games in a month? Don't think you'll get many takers...a more standard prop would be that you can obtain a certain ROI over a certain volume of games in a certain amount of time.

Nope.

If I can reach the $30 level in 45/180s this year that's 132 games at the $30 level. I've never played that high online.

My main objective is to get Gold Star playing these. I'd slit my wrists trying to achieve this at the low levels

I can add an ROI definitely.
This is mainly for shits an giggles and to provide some incentive for me

What's your current BR/ROI and your rule for moving up a level?

Really wasn't going for any BR management rules since I could reload. But I generally like 50BI for each level that I play. So for $30 I'd need a BR of $1500. Right now I have about $700 online.

Not about to go broke trying to win $200 bet.

Gold is way too easy and he has 12 cracks at it. should be 12:1 at least IMO, probably 20:1. 'Course more odds he gives, the more likely he is to do it. Catch 22 props - Hobbes is no fool at taking easy money. He probably made a New Year's Resolution to see how many suckers he could take in 2012.

You should be asking how many VPP's he does per month.

I have NEVER been Silver (maybe once)
This is just doing 45/180 mans.
At $7 I'd have to run 900 in a month which again I've never done.
