888poker’s Aaron Barone brings back the prop bet grind—one MTT at a time.
Aaron Barone, one of online poker’s true grinders, felt nostalgic for the old days when players would make wild volume bets just for fun.
So, as PokerStrategy reports, he set himself a challenge: play 150 multi-table tournaments in a day, and finish with a profit.
He ended up playing 156 MTTs, spent over $9,000 on buy-ins, and after 17 hours, walked away with $690 in profit. He even streamed the entire session, for anyone who wants to watch a man stare at a screen for nearly a full day.
“It took 17 hrs, 15 minutes but we did it. MTTs: 156 Buy-ins: $9,085 Cashes: $9,775 Profit/Loss: +$690”
Barry Carter at PokerStrategy notes that Barone has always been one of the most consistent winners at low and mid stakes.
