he did it!
and with time to spare, he won a lot of $$$ in prop bets as well.

He is one of the guys that lives in the poker mansion in texas with BigJoe2003, those guys are insane.

And his comments....

Sat, Nov 26

started strong first 90 games were at 15% or so, then broke even for 50, then started losing again. sweet.
started playing tables stacked instead of tiled, and found i could easily play 20+ without ever timing out. the full size tables are nice and easy on the eyes, and i dont have to move the mouse violently across a 31inch screen so its nice. but i'm not sure if that somehow caused my day to go to shit today.
i'm also having trouble w/ the webcam (vista issues) and will try to get it resolved soon. not that any one cares anyway.
might play one more quick session tonight.

Sun, Nov 27

Woke up fresh, played three short sessions totaling 150 games and ran at 15%. sweet, put me at like 2% overall.
Started up a 3 hour session before bed and lost 100 over 50ish games. pretty shitty. put me back down to 10% for the day. beat after beat. kk

Mon, Nov 28

Can i win an 80/20? no, i cant. started the day with a 26 buyin downswing. awesome. love that. recovered a bit. still effectively at zero. not so good. so now its the 10k in 27 days challenge. tomorow i'll play 300 games for a 30% roi. then i'll be ahead of schedule. thats the plan.

Total Profit $8,131

No update on his site, but from Sharkscope, we can approximate as:

Played: 1,047
Loss: $1,642

That looks pretty catastrophic now..... Significant yet slap? I'm guessing so...

If he were a "6% player", that would be about 2.5 standard deviations below
average. A bit under a 1% chance of doing that badly through bad luck. It's
still not impossible that he's just been unlucky, but on the other hand, even if
he has, he still needs to pull back the defecit as well as making $10k profit.

These are just rough estimates, by the way, and assume that the results of
all the games are independent, which is not going to be true in practice. For
example, if he has "bad weeks" when he's a "0% player" and an equal
number of "good weeks" when he's a "12% player", then his results so far
could be because he's had a bad week and a modest amount of bad luck,
and if he could string together 3 good weeks then he could still do it.

But I'd certainly take 4/6 right now on him not making it.

Looks like he's all but given up...

you can watch SS yourselvs, and if it gets to the point where i think i can make a run for it again, i'll start updating regularly.

sorry it wont be an exciting bet

last update was a 46 dollar profit after 2,220 sngs.

Shame he failed, but it was a crazy undertaking, he simply didn't have the game
