Alex Wice Challenge

Is this at all possible?
I play on Pokerstars, and to their best customers, they give around 70% of the fees back to you as a way to reward loyalty. In one calendar year, the current record is roughly $550k in fees, (of which they got around $390k back.) Next year, I
plan to pay $1.45m in fees and get one million dollars back.
To do so, I will make something in the area of 10 million poker decisions in a year.
Blogged here in a marathon post that goes into a lot of detail.

that blog post reads so badly imo, but the 2+2 thread he comes across ok i think.
I'm not being funny I can't think of anything worse, if someone offered to stake me for the games on a 10% freeroll and I get to keep 100% of the rakeback on the proviso I rake $1.45m I'm not actually convinced I'd wanna do it lol its horrific.
Without being harsh he must have a some social/pshy issues as he's assumably comfortably off(?) if he's rolled for a $100k downswing and he's undisputedly a winner in these games pre-rb then why on earth would you want to move back to your parents house and lock yourself away for a year? I don't think it's unreasonable to say he could play 1/4 of the volume and make $200k in a year whilst actually having some semblence of a life.
I think there is more to this than meets the eye personally...

It seems like itll be soul destroying. Iv spoken to people who have SNE in the past and they say thats bad enough.

I have played with Awice a fair bit. He wasn't too great earlier in the year! I know he was mass tabling the $30 games with not much success at all, but he has improved hugely since then. A student of mine is playing him a lot in the high stakes hypers and he's now one of the best regs.
His mass tabling abilities are pretty insane, so I really wouldn't rule this out!
Will be keeping an eye on this one for sure.

A friend is doing the same thing but hasn't 2+2/officially released his blog yet. - Going for first SNE and all the records along the way.
He's so motivated it's ridic. I'm sure they're both going to make it but he will be playing all the 1k and 3ks around Scoop/Wcoop to make it a bit easier.
Good luck to them both, I know for sure I couldn't do any part of it atm.
Who wants to grind that hard for a milli though, just play some live birds and have fun travelling along the way

And how much would you think that's worth?
Giving up over 1% of your life for the *possibility* of making $1m.
Can't think of anything worse.

I like that blog post, and how he comes across in the few paragraphs of the 2+2 post I skimmed, good luck to the guy.
@Camel, it's odd that you don't respect his drive, would you say the same about Bradley Wiggins for example? He's given up his life to pedal a bike for a few quid, but most people (myself included) seem to have the utmost respect for him. It's madness if you think about it. This is the same thing I think.

Good luck to him I say. If I had an opportunity to work really hard for a year but at the end be a millionaire (or close to it), I think I'd jump at the chance. I know it'd be different for me as he's used to the high stakes and is probably rolled and living the life already, but I'd never have to work again.
