Hello! Gonna throw in some comments before I go to sleep in preparation for day 3 of the PCA Main event!

In terms of stake selecting, etc. I initially decided to start with .25/.50 simply because I wanted to play a stake with a lot of tables that didn't break too often so I can keep the hands going. Another thing I liked about .25/.50 was that it gave a lot of different players the opportunity to play with me in this event. I did notice the waitlist to play the tables that I was on were quite long which is neat IMO for those who want to be a part of the event. The main idea I think I had going in was to get a bunch of hands in at .25/.50 and probably get a solid amount of hands at the surrounding stakes as well both ways. This would give a lot of people the opportunity to play with me too. I forget at which point but I decided to move onto 0.50/1.00 and 1/2nl when i was down some buy-ins at .25/.50 and since I was planning on changing stakes anyways, it was probably a bit smarter to move up than down stakes at this point. I did put in a couple of rounds at 5/10 and lost money there but the reason I didn't stick around there was because I thought to myself in the middle that I should try and stick with the stakes I initially had in mind and try and stick w/ it rather than just win 1 buy-in. I did have a couple of 2/4 tables too and I closed those down soon too. The majority of my play was probably at .25/.50 and somewhat evenly distributed between .5/1 and 1/2. I think someone pointed out that after I was up a little bit I had the opportunity to just go straight to 2nl and just fold my way to victory but I didn't do that. I wanted to keep my vision and goal in mind of playing a bunch of tables at low/micro stakes nl so I was actually still in tough shape when I played 40 tables at .10/.25. Obviously, I had the opportunity in the beginning to play some mid/high stakes in the beginning to win some money then go straight to 2nl and play 100 tables and just click fold all day just to make some huge number but I didn't want to do that. That wasn't how I envisioned this challenge to be taken and like I said, this was a great fun event.

For those of you curious about the actual playing of 40 tables, it was very tough, straining, and challenging; mentally and physically. I know some of you think I'm some super robot, but I'm very human! hahaha. For example, I'm not very good at blocking out the media/spectators when I'm playing so I got easily distracted when I was plugged into my 'zone'. This often led to me timing out and then trying to reopen tables while still trying to play poker which was quite a difficult multitasking effort. Also, I must say that my play at 40 tables was not so great compared to my actual play. At 24 tables I generally make very few or no misclicks but when I was 40 tabling, I was misclicking galore. This was a little bit frustrating but I reminded myself that I was here for the challenge and I can't let little things get to me. At some point I remember losing a bunch of all-ins with big hands, which was frustrating too but there really wasn't any time for me to just sit out and take a cooler break. It was very challenging mentally and physically as well. I wanted to stretch so bad but there really wasn't any time! hahaha well I didn't make time for it as I wanted to test my endurance.

In terms of the actual record, some ideas were presented to Guinness but they weren't accepted. It really does need to be a simple record with ease of understanding. One of the cool ideas that I wanted to do if it was approved was "the most amount of tables played live". So basically it would've been a bunch of tables of cash games and I would've had to run around trying to multitable it live. It was a very fun idea IMO especially since it sounds ridiculous and I'm not very fit and I would have zero experience in trying to do something like that. Would've been a great visual for people who know about poker or not and probably entertaining. hahaha. But unfortunately it didn't get approved. Eventually it settled on the most # of hands played in x hours. As you may know, the number of hours wasn't determined for awhile as this is an 'event'. To some of you it may seem a bit random for 8 hours to be chosen but a longer time frame would've been a bit off given I still had to play day 2 and running any sort of marathon session during the PCA (for example 24 hours) wouldn't have been so great in terms of live spectators (who's going to come by at 5am) and I still had to play day 2, etc. I suppose my point is that having something visually impressive seemed like a cool idea and at least 'the most hands in x hours' was something those at the PCA could follow as well as those present. And of course, the simple record for Guinness was a plus for approval.

The turn out at the PCA was very good for this side event and it got a great response amongst people. I saw a bunch of people who were players or fans walking by and chatting about how cool or sick it is to watch me actually play live with their own eyes. There were lots of pictures taken, etc. I personally think it's nice that people got the opportunity to see me play rather than a very short tiny time lapse from my "I AM NANONOKO" video. Another great thing was that people had the opportunity to follow the action online while others were watching it live. It really helps merge an online/live experience.

I do want to remind people that this was meant to be a 'fun' cool event alongside the PCA. As some probably pointed out, Guinness records aren't necessarily records of direct competition. There are a lot of funny or amazing records in the Guinness world records for the public. I think I read someone post about something like biggest wart? lol but I wouldn't want to dare compete in such a competition! hahaha I think remembering that Guinness Records are meant to be fun keeps the fun in it.

Also, I think a lot of this challenge was a personal goal to see how well I can do in an endurance challenge. Having an audience in person and online makes it even better. Not only do I like personal goals/challenges, it really is the people out there that wish good luck to me that really always keep me going. I think I've grown a lot as a person as the years progressed especially when I became a member of team pokerstars online. In the beginning, I was honored to actually be a part of the team I dreamed of when I first started playing. And as more and more people respected me and learned about me, I wanted to share more with them. The internet is a beautiful thing to me such that we get to meet new people and get to play poker with each other from across the world. The internet has allowed me to connect with more and more players and those who respect and like what I do and want to learn more. For that, I truly am proud to be a part of team online as it has given me more opportunities to connect with people in this new age of technology. To me, this event was another way for me to connect with people closer and with new faces. I've played poker for many years now and the game has evolved so much. I love to see a game as great as poker grow and evolve over time. The game never becomes boring because strategies constantly change. Players knowledge get better. I love to see poker have more exposure so more people can experience this wonderful intellectual strategic game that I love playing. I hoped that something as simple yet fun as this record just helps continually make this game of poker continually evolve. I hope it gives people and players like yourself new ideas or inspiration in poker.

I do wish everyone the best! Hopefully, I didn't ramble too much but cheers to you all!

RANDY LEW!
...umm...yeah nanonoko!

Zo is het wel ongeveer gegaan. Hij had inderdaad een beetje winst, maar idd met een negatieve winrate.

Elk persoon die dit record wilt gaan verbeteren zou wat kunnen winnen in de nosebleeds om daarna op vele lagere limits het aantal handen omhoog te brengen.

Dus, voor allen die ook in het World Guiness Book of Records willen komen...Succes, jullie weten nou hoe het moet.

Dus het is TOCH mogelijk... winst maken met poker?!?!???

Ook op 2+2 zijn de nodige vraagtekens gerezen, zelfs bij de die hard Randy fans.

Als hij daadwerkelijk 400nl en 1knl heeft gespeeld zou wat mij betreft het record ongeldig verklaard moeten worden.

Ze hebben berekend dat hij $828 rake heeft betaald en stellen dat daarmee bewezen is dat zelfs de allerbeste multi tabler de rake op de low stakes niet kan verslaan.

MINDER dan 24?! dan ga je je toch vervelen man!

Het is sowieso een raar record vind ik.. Zolang hij maar 8 uur speelt en profit haalt is het sowieso een record toch? Een minimum aantal handen was wel leuker geweest.. Als hij na 5 uur geen energie meer heeft kapt ie alle tafels af op 1 na en is het nog een record toch?

Deze record is rigged

Heel erg vreemd idd.
Ik zie iig geen reden om spelers hun tafellimiet lager te gaan instellen dan de standaard 24...

Het zal nogal afhangen van wat voor criteria ze gaan hanteren.

Als je vrijwel altijd je volledige tijd neemt om te beslissen, maar af en toe uittimed, zou de tafellimiet niet mogen wijzigen I guess.

Ik kan er enigszins wel inkomen dat ze niet voor iedereen tafellimiet op 40 willen zetten ofzo, en eventueel willen terugschroeven naar 24/30 of w/e als de speler extreem veel uittimed bij 40tafelen maar het toch continu blijft doen.

Maar minder dan 24 lijkt me niet bepaald fair.

Ja, het is irritant voor recreationele spelers, maar iedereen aan tafel verdient er wel geld door obv.


Als ze dit zouden combineren met een cap op de timebank die je kan verzamelen per tafel, is er dus zelden reden om terug te schroeven imo.

Het probleem waar ze waarschijnlijk voor vrezen is dat je nu timebank van 500sec ofzo kan verzamelen op veel tafels, en als je dan continu een halve minuut timebank gebruikt voor preflop beslissingen of w/e door het masstablen, wordt dat idd wel irritant i guess.

Terecht!

Maar wat vinden jullie van de plannen? Ik vind het nogal raar dat je eerst moet aantonen zoveel tafels te kunnen spelen... en dat je zelfs minder dan 24 tafels moet gaan spelen.

Ik mag toch zelf wel beslissen hoeveel tafels ik speel en op hoeveel ik er uit-time.

Als het zo gebeurd is, is het wel vrij lame idd.

Ze zouden op z'n minst een range van buyins moeten vastleggen, anders kan je idd gewoon 8 uur lang 2NL massfolden (kan gewoon 100 tafels ook dan obv lol) met aan het begin een buyin op 600NL of w/e voor je profit...

''Waar het maximum aantal tafels 24 is wat iemand kan spelen werd dit tijdelijk opgeheven om het record te kunnen vestigen. Hij speelde maar liefst 40 tafels tegelijk.''

Dus als ik hem nu wil verbeteren kan het niet, slaat dus helemaal nergens op......

Martingailing like a boss!

Hmm gaar record als je gewoon handen mag rammen op lage stakes en een flipje doen op hogere stakes om profit te halen.
Elke leek kan gewoon ff hotrunnen met wat flips in het begin en dan 50 tafels 2NL rammen 8 uurtjes lang... :S

PS: Neemt niet weg dat het wel een sicko is maar dit record zegt echt niets imo...

ja ik weet niet of het slim is zo steeds van stakes te verwisselen maar hij heb ook nog ff met hem gespeeld en hij speelde echt verdomt goed zeg woww..echt leuk om mee te maken na mijn sqz meteen all in gaan wel lachen.ik d8 eigeniljk dat hij een nit zou zijn maar hij speelde vrij laggy eigenlijk, respect voor de man.
@ Doncabelero stuur je zo'n een PM met me nick op PS.

hij speelde iets van 24/22/10% op 25NL/50NL

Sowieso vrij bizar, to say the least.. hij zou tm 200nl spelen, urenlang loopt ie te verliezen op 50nl iets van -7bi en daarna op 100nl iets van -8bi om het met een flipje op 400nl en 1knl goed temaken en daarna de tijd vol te maken op 2nl

maarre scarface ff je PS nick geven aub. via pm of hier
