Why I think that leatherass is kidding himself about this bet.
Obviously we all saw the results of WCGrider prop bet, and this is why it wont work
I simply think Leatherass is kidding himself with the profits to be made at $2/4
sure he is a much better player that this level, I dont think there is any doubt about his poker ability or ability to grind ridiculous amounts of hands
However, I think he is underestimated the level of play, for starters, with the amount of tables he will be playing, LAG or even normal TAG is prob out of the question, so he will be playing very TAG, which I think alot of regulars at $2/4 will exploit and not give him the action he is expecting.
Sure alot of players wont know about this prop bet, but alot will,
which I think is a main reason he will fail
also, the pressure of meeting a certain profit to not lose $250,000 will be too hard to overcome, and he will get hit hard by tilt by day 20
I dont know why leatherass is doing this, but I think he will lose.
Does anyone have any arguments for or against him losing?

Look it up on stoxpoker, its going to be an epic prop bet
basically leatherass is betting $250,000 that he can make $100,000 in a month at $2/4

Yo Rollingame, decrease the size of your sig. It's ridiculous.

I don't think there's much of a chance of this happening, so as I've said in the 2p2 thread(s) I'm willing to put up to 5k against.
