In our 2009 Poker Goals thread, I listed a very aggressive online poker goal for myself.

I like this, now I have someone to "unofficially" compete against in my quest. Good luck to you sir, and I'm looking forward to seeing how you do.

Two weeks into this I am showing a whopping YTD profit of $510. Only $99,490 to go!

Would anyone like to make this challenge a little more official with some sort of public wager?

Let's get sprstoner, LAPPIN, Rounder63 and all the big boys in on this one too.

I am in. I had a really good start in january. I made about 19 K Profit. Hope this upswing will be long after the bad december. let´s see who will be first to have 100 K profit in 2009.

I think this is possible for all of us.

Im in as long as its a friendly wager. Is it just on FTP or are we including other sites as well?

I'm thinking we should do percentage of bankroll for the wager, maybe 0.5% of our bankroll... So lets say hypothetically I get to 100k first, if someone was at 90k when I hit they would owe 450$, if someone was at 50k they would owe 250$. It would make it so it's significant enough to matter... but not so much as to effect our bank rolls negatively.

This has the added benefit of if someone had an atrocious month or two, while at the same time some one wins two 163$ rebuys in a row. The person who had the atrocious two months won't have a huge added burden of having to pay a large amount of their bankroll. Or we could just bet some flat rate... either way.

A complaint against it would be someone might sandbag to pay less... I feel like 0.5% is a small enough amount that it wouldn't be worth it.
