October BC Prop Thread

[spoonitnow]

See this thread for the September prop: http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...op-182282.html

We're going with the same rules and terms for the October prop except yaawn/icanhaztreebet is going to escrow and except for the changes listed later in this post.

There is a minimum of 40 hours, and the three pools will be a $10, $25, and $50 entry each again.

To participate, please reply in this thread with which pools you'd like to be in, for how many hours, and send your entry funds to yaawn (cow head) on PokerStars, or Icanhastreebet (C, Penguin) on Full Tilt Poker. Please list your s/n here along with which site you used to send the funds to the escrow to make it easier to verify whose funds have been received.

I'll go through and make a final list of everyone involved in each pool as they come in.

People are welcome to join until 11:59 PM Eastern Time October 3, 2010.

While all games are allowed for this prop, if you don't have a tracker for your game, then you're not allowed to use those hours for this prop bet. Your hours must be proved by tracker screenshots.

There will be NO BUYOUTS ALLOWED for any reason whatsoever, so don't even bring it up.

Note: Hours must be posted by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on November 5 or you're considered a loser in the prop.

[CBAT]

Now that I have a full time job. 50 hours is my goal.

I'm going to join all 3 pools and ship yaawn the money in a few minutes.

[daven]

simple goals for october
0 hrs
breakeven
guessing i won't be in any of the $$ pools

[celtic123]

quick clarify please .

1 hour on 2 tables = 2 hours ?

[kmind]

No sir. 1 hour.

[spoonitnow]

quick clarify please .

1 hour on 2 tables = 2 hours ?

The bet is based on hours played, not table hours. If you played 2 tables for an hour, that would be 1 hour played, but 2 table hours.

[rpm]

i'm in for the $10 and $25 for 40 hours. i'd aim higher but exam period starts 20th october and that has to take priority, unfortunately. money shipped to yawn on stars from a SN i'll pm to him because i dont feel like posting my SN on google. i'm a nit like that.

[StarGrinder]

So there's no bet on how many hands, just hours? I could easily put in 180 hours 1-tabling all day at work but only play 10-12k hands. Doesn't seem fair to me.

Cool story bro.

[Muzzard]

woudl be in but dont play stars or tilt anymorz

[dranger7070]

@StarGrinder, I or someone else could make a bet for hands instead of hours in a separate thread. I'm sure a lot of people would go for that as well.

[surviva316]

you could also be a star grinder who routinely puts in 150 hrs a month and just puts a goal for 40hrs. the idea isn't really to be policing against someone scamming us out of 5 bucks or something, it's to set goals for ourselves and give ourselves incentives to make them.

if you don't wanna get scammed, i recommend buying in for an amount that's laughable to you

In light of your complaint there has been a meeting of myself, Beginners Circle moderator spoonitnow, President Barack Obama and other leading figures of the muslim community, and we have decided to make the October BC Prop not compulsory.

We thank you for your input and trust our decision comes as a great relief to you.

[StarGrinder]

Um, yeah okay. I get it, it's a prop bet. Been there, done that. The point I was trying to make is that MY hours *could* be tainted and was wondering if there was a 'hand count vs hours played' addendum to the bet. That is all. JFC sorry I hurt everyone's vagina and apparently making a mockery of your side game. Carry on.

[CBAT]

Shipped to yaawn.

[Icanhastreebet]

confirmed rpm and cbat28

[Micro2Macro]

100 hours

[caddie444]

I usually play like 75%@ Stars and 25% FTP Rush any given month (10NL or 25NL Rush when I only have like 30-45min before I have something to do to satisfy my poker need) Is it ok if I use both to count for my hours?

[oopssuited]

Is anyone beating the micros at 6 bbs or more?

[dranger7070]

^lol yes

[spoonitnow]

Yes as long as they aren't being played at the same time (ie count double).

[philly and the phanatics]

ok in for 10/25/50 shipping to yaawn now...only doing 70 hours this month because im going to take a break for a couple days after playing the last month straight and playing the most i ever played for a month in my life (almost 100 hours)

[OngBonga]

Is anyone beating the micros at 6 bbs or more?

14 bb/100 hands... is that good?

[OngBonga]

yaawn = cowhead (Palm Coast)? I'll play the $10 pool for 60 hours, just want confirmation of ID before I ship.

[caddie444]

Yes as long as they aren't being played at the same time (ie count double).

K I'll go in the $10 and $25 pools, I'm working + never play on weekends (long distance g/f) so I'll go for 50 hrs, mobnies shipped to yaawn

[spoonitnow]

yaawn = cowhead (Palm Coast)? I'll play the $10 pool for 60 hours, just want confirmation of ID before I ship.

yaawn (cowhead) means his PokerStars screenname is yaawn and his city is cowhead

[OngBonga]

Righty, cheers Spoon, glad I didn't ship to cowhead then, or he'd have had a nice surprise, whoever he is, wherever Palm Coast is. Sounds like Florida.

$10 shipped to yAAwn (Cow Head) from OngBonga
Target - 60 hours

I just won $30 in a mtt and then $8 in a 4-player HU shootout, still a good night's profit after this!

[caddie444]

Righty, cheers Spoon, glad I didn't ship to cowhead then, or he'd have had a nice surprise

lol I almost did this too

[Icanhastreebet]

Philly, ongbonga, caddie confirmed for 85,10,35 respectively

[kiwiMark]

I'm in, will ship tomorrow. Would ship now but I'm at my parents and I don't want FTP getting shitty about me logging in from another IP, transferring money, then doing nothing else.

[surviva316]

woah, i didn't even realize the freudian-ness of this post when i wrote it.

[spoonitnow]

Updated the OP. Need m2m to confirm he's in for all three bets (just checking).

I'll probably be joining one of the smaller pools, just deciding what my goal should be since I'm going to be having a tooth pulled Monday and I'm not sure how long that's going to affect me because right now I don't feel like doing much of shit.

Remember, you still have a few days to enter.

[Micro2Macro]

Shipped $85 to yaawn. 100 hours, all pools a go.

[celtic123]

$10 to yaawn. 50 hours

on 2 servers Pokerstars (celtic123200)and Microgaming (charliebeth)

both viewable on PTt3.

Ill do well to meet my target

DISPATCHED

[OngBonga]

I'll probably up my target for next month. I'm not going to make any pissy excuses, I just don't want to fail the first prop I get involved in, so set myself a likely target without just making a mockery of the thing! If I fail 60 hours I deserve to lose ten buckaroos. How many in the $10 pool failed this time round? Just wondering how many cents I can expect to win.

[Illfavor]

All 3 pools, 70 hrs imo.

[Icanhastreebet]

m2m, and celtic confirmed for 85, and 10 respectively

[BooG690]

In for all three pools ($85). 60 hours. Money has been sent.

[philly and the phanatics]

r spoon and yaawn doing this? spoon made thread /yaawn is escrow but they arent in the list in the OP

[BooG690]

Scroll up to get the scoop on Spoon's interest in this prop.

[kiwiMark]

Shipped $85 to yaawn. 100 hours, all pools a go.

+1, all three pools, mannies shipped, 100 hours

[kiwiMark]

Also I'm going to be three tabling for the majority of this. It's not some kind of elaborate scam, it just happens to be the number of tables I feel comfortable playing. Somebody who's sweated me can confirm I'm bitch and never play more than four tables.

[BooG690]

Confirmed bitch.

Doesn't seem that elaborate...

And I can also confirm that BooG is a bitch.

[dranger7070]

I can confirm that Illfavor is of African descent and demands reparations. Donate all prize pool monies to me and I'll designate the distribution of the pool to appropriate members of the FTR community.

[oopssuited]

Is winrate calculated with rakeback?

[Illfavor]

I can confirm that Illfavor is of African descent and demands reparations. Donate all prize pool monies to me and I'll designate the distribution of the pool to appropriate members of the FTR community.

I can confirm the entirety of humanity is of African descent and there4 are all thieves.

[spoonitnow]

Updated the OP again.

[Icanhastreebet]

Spoon confirmed for 10

[Illfavor]

Ship-shopped

[philly and the phanatics]

We need more busto fish in the $50 pool.

yours and kiwis money will be enough rakeback for me

[philly and the phanatics]

Also we need to change the name of this thread to "Proptoberfest" imo

[dneureiter]

We need more busto fish in the $50 pool.

as you wish!


Shipped 85$ to yaawn on Stars from "dneureiter"

Will aim for 75 hours. Would be more but am moving to Europe middle of the month and will take awhile to get setup there.

[Icanhastreebet]

Illfavor confirmed for 85

[Icanhastreebet]

dneu confirmed for 85

[Icanhastreebet]

sigh facepalms

[spoonitnow]

OP updated. dranger needs to declare how many hours he's going to play in this thread by tonight.

Anyone else who wants to join is welcome to by midnight tonight!

[celtic123]

I say Let Dranger decide towards the end of the month.

[BooG690]

I say Let Dranger decide towards the end of the month.

Nicely played sir.

[BooG690]

Oh, before I forget, I may or may not have a long day of grind on my laptop (I usually play on my PC) at Surviva's. This obviously means a different screenshot than that on my PC which will result in two screenshots.

Would you guys have a problem with this? If it happens, Surviva would be able to verify that I wasn't playing on my PC and laptop on the same time (which I think would be the only way angle shooting would be achieved with this scenario). If this'll be a problem, I'll avoid this and devote my time to grinding on my PC. I just wanted to bring it up now before it becomes a possible shitstorm.

[spoonitnow]

Would probably just be best to move the HHs to one computer to avoid any doubt.

I changed from 40 to 60 hours for my bet.

If dranger doesn't confirm his hours by midnight tonight then his money is returned and he's out of the bet.

[spoonitnow]

Apparently there was a misunderstanding and dranger will not be in the bet.

[dranger7070]

Lol yea if you read any posts i made itt its pretty obv i never declared i was in the bet. sorry for the misunderstanding

[!Luck]

I am in for $85 for 45 hours, in all three pools.

[CBAT]

Grind update: 5.5/50 hours

[Icanhastreebet]

!luck confirmed for 85

[spoonitnow]

OP updated. The bet is closed. Good luck to everyone.

[OngBonga]

Woo!

Am I correct in assuming that the hours in the winnings tab in PokerTracker is the one that I need to keep an eye on? I'm horrified to see I'm down $5 in 5 hours so far this month at the cash tables, my mtt winnings were disguising these losses in the cashier! I'm only counting cash rooms for my hours, mainly because I don't think PT tracks my mtt hours, but also because it's a piss easy target that was intended for grinding.

I hope everybody except me fails.
