I would have to look at it a bit more before making the bet.

The only angle shooting I can think of right now is that he states that he needs to profit $5000.00 or more by the 30 days. Well technically, he should win a few of the Battle of the Planets awards as a result of playing so much. It should be easy for him to post a high score on the High Orbit leader board for the two smaller buy in levels each week this runs. I'm not sure if in the rules this would count or not.

Aside from that, there's a few poor calculations. The 20% ROI over 6.5 hours a day is not realistic to achieve the $5000 goal over one month.

This assumes he's getting this ROI averaging 24 tables over that 6.5 hours. If any of you have actually tried playing 24 tables at once, (I have), your ROI will simply have to decrease as the table increase - unless you're use to it. Looking at his OPR and Sharkscope, I see no indication that he has ever been able to put in the volume like Spacegravy.

Also, the stipulation that all tourneys are held at $5.50 and under means that he can not play any $6.50 turbos for 45 player SNGs. He must play either $5 dollar regular SNGs and/or $3.25/45s.

Playing at regular SNGs slows down your hourly rate by quite a lot in a 45 man SNG - which hurts when volume - and that is the key for him to pull this off.

The only other thing I can think of right now, is that maybe he's really good at heads up SNGs? He would be able to play the 32 man heads up SNGs and profit a lot like that?

Other than that, I don't like his chances. Is this possible to do? For certain people I think they have a chance - like close to 1:1. From his past performance and all indications - it's highly unlikely.
