About the prop bet

As most of you might know I was doing a prop bet in the last 10 days. I had to play 2500 $2.5 180man sngs and win at least $1k.

I planned a daily schedule before the prop bet started. It was great because I could've done everything that's important (like eating well and excercising a little bit every day) but obviously I couldn't do that. My original plan was to go to bed at 2AM every day.

This was so successful that my friends came the day before the prop bet started and we were drinking till 5AM. Oh well, they were drinking till about 11AM but I was strong and went to sleep at 5AM, haha. Not a good start. At least I didn't drink anything stronger than beer, so I'm kinda proud of myself.

First day went really well even though I was extremely tired after the previous night. Too well I guess because after that I couldn't win anything in the following 7 days. My sessions were absolutely frustrating and it was hard to stay motivated.

Actually, I didn't really care about that bad run in the first few days but after the 5th,6th,7th day of the bet it was hard to believe I can still do it. Fortunately lots of friends (including SNGProtege members of course) were trying to motivate me and told me I can do it and they were succesful.

After day 8 I had only $199 profit so I literally gave it up mentally but I thought there are only 2 days left so I'll try to give it a chance and didn't stop.
Also, I asked some guys about there opinion whether I should try 30tabling to put in more volume or just continue playing on 20 tables and hope for the best. Then I mixed their opinions and decided to start 18-19 tables then stopped registering when I had deep runs.
Entim told me I should play less tables and concentrate more on my game, so I think I did that even though not exactly as he suggested it.

Pedros webinar was really helpful as well. One sentence that kept me focused:
 
"If you stop, nothing's gonna change."

I really love this thought. I didn't stop and I managed to hit a great upswing in the last two days so I managed to complete the challange and win the bet. I'm really happy I didn't give it up. Thank you guys for keeping me alive,hehe. Some pics:

 

See you guys

"Work hard, win harder. Never stop, never get down on yourself, always keep your motivation high and your hunger higher."
