Prop Bet Friday

Posted by photojake On June - 27 - 2008

RoundersOne of the sites that I have a membership to is Stoxpoker.  I am not sure how I first found the site, but I have when watching the site grow for the last 2.5 years.  I still remember when they first started posting video on there site.

One of there main writer/teacher/coach is a guy that goes by the name LeatherAss.  He was worked his way up from mid stakes game up to the higher 10/20, 25/50 NL games online over the last two years.

He is proposing a huge prop bet to make $100,000 in one month at NL400.  Dusty (LeatherAss) is taking around $250,000 in action and is planning on starting the bet right after the WSOP.  This will be in the same style as WCGRider and Costanza_G with a webcam and everything.  I really hope this happens and if anyone can do this it is LeatherAss.   You can read the whole thread at 2+2.   If this goes down, it will be the biggest prop bet in online poker history.

Next-Gen Trackers. Which one to choose?

Posted by photojake On May - 18 - 2008

I have been watching the Software forums on 2+2 for the last 6 months.  There is lots of development of the “Next-Gen” trackers.  Poker tracker is coming out with PT3, as well as two new comers, Hold’em Manager and Poker EV.

All three seems similar in a lot of way, but there is still a huge debate as to which one is “better” or the best.  They all are still very buggy or are not out of private beta (PokerEV) yet so it is difficult to see who is going to come out on top.

This is similar to the Tracker wars between Poker Tracker and Poker Office.  Poker Tracker was the first and therefore stayed on top by most professional players.

If I had to buy one right now, I would probably get PT3 since it is kinda what I know (PT2 user) but I am really hoping that PEV will come out soon.  PEV sounds like the best of the three, but the developer has postponed the beta about 10 times so who know when it will come out.  PEV is a beta release at of next Friday, but I am not holding my breath.

I have not tried any of them out yet, but I will post a review once all three are out and I have some time to test them.

Oh, and I missed a post from 2-days ago about my journey.  I played 742 hands and won $14.50.

What I am reading around the net

I have been following some prop bets threads on 2+2. Costanza_g bets he can win $40,000 in One month at the NL200 FR games. He actually has a web cam up so we can all see him play. It looks like it is not going to make it, but he had a really big day yesterday so maybe. It is hard to even think I could come close to doing something like that.

There is a similar prop bet that might go on in a couple of weeks. WCGRider is trying to make $10,000 in one month at the NL25 FR games. That seems almost impossible at first, but then he had a prop bet from earlier this year at the NL25 FR where he made $1,000 the first day and killed 5 NL25 regulars by himself.
