Very nice, what was the target?


it's 568 hands/day right now, or that was the calculation on friday.

i'm off to a pretty slow start, but there is a plan. Wink

I think there should be a third bracket for 1000NL+ guys like GC. The stop loss doesn't even let him play his normal stakes - and it was fun knowing we were doing the "same" challenge even if we're in different brackets...
I think this would help with some of the others that have busted early just because they didn't want to drop so far below their normal stakes.

And who would call the river hoping for a chop? How does GC find these guys?? LOL

The point of the challenge (for me at least) is to have an increase of motivation to put in the hours playing; I think having a third category would help everyone feel more motivated top to bottom

This is why I had wanted to do brackets.. noone thought a higher tier was necessary.. was hard enough getting people behind brackets to begin with

Profit target is just positive numbers. Was playing PLO10, got to 250, so tried PLO25, went bad, back to where I started now.

pennies away from busto. I cannot believe the run bad LOL

The latest was a villain shoving ATC every hand. First time, I call off with AK and get coolered by T6. The next time, I limp call A2s (planning to get it in) and he shows 74s same suit; spikes the 7 LOL

... nothing to lose, if I come back, it will be historic... if not, back to my regular stakes - definitely more volume than normal due to this contest
