The online poker world was fixated at the micro-stakes games last week, as Joey “JoeIngram1” Ingram won a lucrative prop bet that involved setting the world record for number of hands played. The prop bet wasn’t all about simple volume, but also required Ingram to show a profit over the 50,000 hands played within a 24-hour period at the 25nl ($0.10-$0.25) games. Once he accomplished the feat, Ingram took in over $30,000 in side money. Poker News Daily met with Ingram to discuss his place in poker history and what the future holds for this massive multi-tabler.

Poker News Daily: Congratulations on setting the world record for number of hands played in a day. When you were younger, did you ever imagine you’d set a world record for anything?

Ingram: No, definitely not. I should point out that I also have the world record for hands played in a month at 604,000, so having both records is a huge deal for me. It’s something I’m really proud of.

PND: Can you talk about the development of your prop bet and how you managed to get so much action on it?
Ingram: I managed to get all of this action because I played a 25,000 hand session, I was down, and people saw that on Poker Table Ratings. My profile also showed that I had lost 20+ buy-ins in a session in the past. Since I had that history, people were just lining up to give me action. I was just trying to get in hands to see if I could accomplish the goal of 50,000 while just playing a C-level game.
PND: What were your emotions in the hours leading up to the start of your challenge? Did you do anything special to prepare for it?
Ingram: I was super excited to just try it and see if I could make money during this challenge. I was hoping I wouldn’t fail because I would have lost a lot of money if I didn’t come through on the bet. It’s not like when I played sports earlier in life; this time, money was involved and I would have lost something like $12,000.

PND: Did you think after you accomplished the feat that you would get such widespread notoriety and publicity?
Ingram: Oh no, definitely not. I never expected there to be articles around the internet and hearing about it on newscasts like PokerRoad. There are sites in every language that have a story about my accomplishment. I never thought this story would be so popular.
PND: With the prop bet done, what’s in the works for 2010 and is there another challenge for you in the future?
Ingram: I am probably thinking of doing a prop bet playing six-max and showing a profit while putting in one million hands in a month. I am looking to get about $100,000 in prop bet action on that, but right now I am experimenting to see if I can actually pull it off. It’ll have a requirement to play at minimum of 25nl, but it’ll also most likely encompass 50nl and 100nl tables.
PND: How likely do you think that someone will be breaking your record in the next six months? How will you feel should your record be broken?
Ingram: Technically, Chiren already played 58,000 hands, but he didn’t make any money, so a lot of people aren’t considering that to be the record. If someone broke my record, no one is going to get the action I got, so they will just be walking away with what they win, like $100. For me, I made a ton of money, so I’ll be laughing the whole time I watch it happen. The reason people are talking about me is because of the prop bet.
PND: You’ve put in massive amounts of hands and been a little over breakeven. Will you continue to work along that path or focus on playing fewer tables at a higher win-rate?
Ingram: On Poker Table Ratings, I’m 2.2BB/100 24-tabling six-max and I’m going to focus on that mainly in the future. It makes so much more sense for me to play six-max since my game is better suited there, so I’ll be shifting over to that game since I’m showing such a bigger profit. A lot of people have been telling me to shift to that game for a while.
PND: In terms of accomplishments in poker history, where does yours stand?

Ingram: I don’t know but I don’t think it’s really all that high up there. It’s definitely not up to snuff with the Moneymaker effect; it’s just an achievement for multi-tabling and I made a bunch of money doing it.
PND Apparently, you have fans now. Do you have anything to say to them?

I still get plenty of PMs on TwoPlusTwo and some that follow my blog. I’m known for quite a few things these days, so I get people contacting me all of the time. Most are quite positive and leave encouraging messages and I really appreciate their support. I really am honored that people throw my name out there when people talk about the best 24-tabler. It’s all very cool.

DOUG POLK AKA THE SUPREME LEADER AKA DOUGLAS K POLK AKA DEBATABLY THE BEST HUNL PLAYER IN THE WORLD AKA THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND is BACK on the Poker Life podcast today. We are talking all about the epic HU challenge vs Daniel Negreanu and how Doug came out victorious for $1,200,000. Doug has spent the last 3 months battling Daniel at a $200/$400 high stakes HU battle. Doug was the big favorite coming into the match and the pressure was on him to deliver a victory vs Daniel. The match was pretty anti-climactic in terms of who would win as Doug was the odds on favorite to win and wasn't in much danger of losing. At one point later in the match, Daniel had a massive near $400,000 victory over the course of a few hours that forced Doug to rethink his strategy. Doug came out using a limping strategy which caused Daniel to start tanking which caused a major controversy as Phil Galfond needed to step in to mediate the dispute. In the end, Doug came out with the victory in the match and in the side bets worth millions of dollars. Today we discuss more on it!
