I never really post on fourms , I only just read .... But today I would like your views/ opinions on the following ;

Lewis and I were having a debate.. Lewis said its not possible to be a winning player everyday , where I think it is possible .

What are your views , do you think it is possible ?

Lewis is right.

I guess in theory if you can play enough hands and are a winning player then it's possible.

I doubt anybody's ever done it though.

Im going to try put it to the test..

I'm going too one table 1c/2c ... Sit down with $2 but I cannot leave until im at least one buy in up, $2 in profit .. Im going to try this for a year - if I reload for more, then I still have to be double the total buy in up, for the day.

Might try PS DYM SNG?

If I have one loosing day , Obv I fail but I would like to see over a year the stats.

maybe I have to much time on my hands...

too much variance/rake.

I think I could probably win every day for a year if i was playing lots of $1 hu games (possibly) but I doubt anyone has done it before because anyone who can do it could be making more money playing slightly bigger games but where they'd be having losing days too.

Not possible with these targets.

If you really want to do it then as soon as you're up any amount just cash out.

Basically if you lose you need to keep grinding until you win. If you get up any amount why keep playing and risk a losing day?

Doing it this way it may just be possible.

Also I'd buy in for the minimum at first. If you lose the lot you can buy in for slightly more and have a chance of doubling up to be up for the day.

Actually this could be an interesting challenge.

Might try it myself.

How many winning days can be continuously achieved no matter how small the amount?

Good feedback,

So maybe I need to change my theory..

only play $1 SNG and have a max amount I can 'lose' a day?

The reason for this I have a prob-bet .. if I can do it over the course of a year without have a loosing day il get myself $5k ... worth a try right??

This just looks like a potential bad martingale experiment to me.  You end up at $1/$2 or a $100 DYM SNG or wherever you get uncomfortable much sooner than you think.  And you wouldn't be playing 1c/2c if you were comfortable at $1/$2.

give up now

I hear there's a guy on poker Encore called GreekStein1 who'd lose a few dollars a day to you for 50% of the $5k. Bink.

How much do you have to make a day, 1 cent, zero or 1 buy in.  If it was 1c, then I guess it would be doable, if a little boring?

Easy to be 1cent in profit a day, but does that make you a winning player $3.65 over a year? I guess it does, but the challenge ive set myself might be abit harder.. but I believe achievable.


Doobs, Ild play the same stake throughout the whole year, not moving up.. ild have to make at least one buy in a day at 1c/2c .. so $4 200bb.

If you don't achieve it do you have to give the other person $5k?

If so run away from this bet now because it's terrible.

If it's a freeroll then of course it's worth a go.

Why would you be bothered about making a full bi per day if you can win the bet just making 1c?

If you win 1bi per day you still only get $730 minus a shit load of rake (in comparison).

What you're after is the $5k so just make it as easy as possible.
