I can't argue that.When I play nlhe I open 18 tables, whereas I used to only open 16 because I maxed out at that, and play the best 3-4 I can find at the time and swap them out as tables get better/worse. Never tried playing that many so I'll go with 16 then.

TAG's have less variance because they avoid situtations where they they are only very slight favourites by virtue of there pre flop decision.LAG's need more hands to even out varience due to the size of the edges they are taking AND the amount of situations they are getting involved in. It is the second part that I think people are missing. Ill use a really simplified example. If you were in a blindless game where people would call you open shove with only pocket kings then a +ev stratergy would be to just wait for AA and shove. You will not lose money from the blinds and when someone has KK then you will get paid off. Now not only would you have to wait for AA, but you would have to wait for someone else to have KK. This would occure twice every 1k hands at a guess. So lets say that AA goes down to KK twice in the first 1k hands. (This would occur once ever 1 out of 16 due to AA being a 80% favourite). So right there is a 2k break even strech if the next two are in your favour. Now factor into WCGriders case people folding, blinds, multi way pots, the fact he isnt getting it in as 80% favourite all the time and a bunch of other little factors and long streches are not that unbelievable. That all being said I think that his ability as a player is not the same as it was on day 2 and while it is plausible that this could just be variance occams razor says otherwise.However he will never win this contest by dropping tables, regardless of how you look at it.

Nice post, nice thoughts, true in every way.

In a quick skim of the thread I also saw something very interesting...He is taking more action! I am starting to doubt him and am not sure that is a great idea at this stage in the game...I would assume his parents knowing about this is just another added layer of pressure...I mean he is just 19 and prob still lives home...

I think that's called a hussle sir. Somehow I have this feeling that he hasn't even touched his limits. The first few days he made an easy 1000 to 1200 bucks and realised he was going to fast and purposly made a dent in his profit.The bet is only a quarter underway and everybody is saying he won't make it. I mean, how much better can you create more action for yourself. It seems noone realises he still has 75% of the time to go.Off course I don't know the guy personal but I read his blog and it seems like in the past he was the cautious type. i don't see him risk his networth for a propbet. Just wait and see, he'll make it with much bravour, in the last few days, giving everybody a chance to root for him or against him. It is the perfect way to hype yourself AND make a few bucks.I would not take his bet in a million years.Cheers,Jan

Ok I took the tough trip to 2+2 and found todays graph lol...In a quick skim of the thread I also saw something very interesting...He is taking more action! I am starting to doubt him and am not sure that is a great idea at this stage in the game...My favorite post by him was:I would assume his parents knowing about this is just another added layer of pressure...I mean he is just 19 and prob still lives home...Heres todays graph...he was back in the black:

He lives with his parents in Vegas IIRC

I think you are giving him too much credit. I read his most recent posts on his blog and it sounds like this bet makes up way to big of a percentage of his bankroll to chance losing. I think there is no way he dogged it through his two losing days.

Ok I hear you, but couldn't that just be another way to put himself in an even more underdog position than that he already is.1: ''WhowantstobetWhowantstobetWhowantstobet''2: ''Arg you guys are sooooo lucky I run soooo bad in the beginning''3: ''Hey you know what, I run so bad... I'll take some more action so I can destroy myself!!''It just smells fishy. I see these things (and practise them myself I have to admit) all the time with moneypool. It's just a husslers galore.fwiw,Jan

Do you also think that Durr went all in with tens to make Phil want to play him more in cash games?That line of logic is just really ridiculous

lol...agreed.No matter who you are this bet is tough both poker wise and physically. I would have to say WGC is more of a gambler/cocky than he is a hustler. He is also making this bet with other poker players who understand the game/win rates. If you look at the list of people who have bet there are some names on there you would recognize. If he was trying to hustle people, this wouldnt be the crowd that he would try it on.

Yep, I have to say I didn't thought about that. Very good point.

Snamuh is alive? Dude update your blog. It's ok if you lost your ass. We understand.

Haha just a downswing that I'm slowly crawling out of.

[Jam-Fly 8]

+1040, day 5Btw, to the people saying that there are people playing 10c/25c who don't usually play, that's against the clauses in the contract read it. It basically says, anyone who doesnt usually play $25NL cannot start playing with him.I still don't know if he'll do it. At first, I thought he'd def do it. Then I thought he didn't. If I had to bet my life on it, I'd say no.

wcgrider: call me butter because I'm on a rollI lol'd

That only applies to people who are part of the bet though. I wouldn't put it past a bunch of higher stakes players to sit with him just for the hell of it.

[oldmangrimis 0]

whare is he @

what is he @

watlol at the edit.

so if one of the player he betting sit down and try to play with him does that null the bet?

[Jariso13 1]

Looks like he had a good day...This is his 7 day total...up 1880...but he says it may be more...

WCGrinder: To be totally honest tho, i think there are some hands im missing where i am + another 100 but w/e, we will call it 1880.

Edit: Okay the graph isnt working...but go to his blog if you want to check it out.

if a 10c/25c regular sits down with him, and has interests in the bet, then no, the bet still counts. if a $2/$4 regular who has a bet on, or who has a friend/acquaintance/agent etc. that has a bet on with WCGrider, then I think it's take to the 2+2 posters committee and the make a ruling
