$50 to 10k in 50k hands is insane! Would be insane if you could do this, good luck! I'll be following!

I've posted on another forum and some people are suggesting they would prefer to see something like $1000 into $50k rather than $50 into $10k - what does everyone here think? Would you prefer a challenge originating in the micros, or do the lower-mid stakes games seem more interesting?

i think 1k into 50k is just a sick grind for you

i want to see you grind out the micros i think its a better challange

$50 into $50k then you would please everyone

and make some vids while you do this would be pretty cool

I think the micro stakes in PLO are very tough to beat for such a winrate because the rake has a huuuuge effect on your winrate. I'm not sure about Stars but where i've played rake on PLO25 and under is like 20bb/100+.

rake is pretty grim whatever micro game you play but being supernova elite he may get a better rate :P but for the sake of the challange he should be charged full juice

I will definitely do this!

Also my intention is to have the earnings come entirely from winrate, and not my rakeback. It is possible that I decide to use the equivalent rakeback of a bronze star player or silver star to replicate if someone was doing the same starting from scratch but I don't think i'll even do that.

The rake is indeed going to be very high. I suppose part of the challenge will be to prove/attempt to get a high winrate despite the high rake.

Any more input on this idea?

i have been wanting to learn plo for some time but have found myself sticking to nlh so i would be very keen to follow this,

i played a few tables of pl 0.10 yesterday and with my limited skills found this much softer than the holdem games as players are really over valuing starting hands infact playing all hands in all positions and paying off and chasing very light,

im playing very passive but value betting big hands and draws hard with success but want to learn this game properley and play optimal

i found a vid of yours on UG with i will watch today any other help would be much aprieciated thanks

so if you was to start with $50 what limit would you start off on and how may tables would you open?

would you like 10 table the $5 games?

I definitely think I would start at $0.01/$0.02. I would probably play 6-8 tables when starting out since I want to be very sure not to lose, and once my roll gets a bit healthier I will go up to 12 tabling.

what about the propbets. if u want some action i think on this one u could get a lot and i am kind interested too.
and btw i think its way more challenging and more exciting if u would do the 50$ to 10k in 50k hands.

I've recently taken a keen interest in PLO and started playing and you are already one of my Idols, not just for your supreme PLO skills but also your siiiick cooking skillz too

So for purely selfish reasons i would love to see you start in the micros (with a couple of vids) and work your way up. Like it's already been said here too i think this will be a tougher challenge than starting with 1k.

Whatever you choose to do though i will be following with interest :)

:heart:

$50 is a good amount to begin with because many of us can relate

if he is starting at PLO2 then sure, otherwise I think $75 sounds more reasonable.

Hey,

Any updates on this?

Even if it's just a "postponed for now" it will stop me drooling with anticipation :f_love:
