I doubt I'll get even 50,000 hands next month. World of WarCraft has officially taken over my life. I played it for 20+ hours straight when it came out Tuesday morning at 12:01 A.M. Played from then until 10:00 P.M. Tuesday night. Between this and poker, I leave my house about once a week.

-Brian

Maybe I have a chance /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Just need to find Brian a super-active super-fun WoW guild to join..

[Shillx]

I would have called for a rematch but uh...

A: I got my ass handed to me this month
B: Ill be skiing too much this month to play /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Brad

You destroyed me this month /images/graemlins/frown.gif I guess I'll be ure bitch for now

[Yobz]

When do we start counting...I played after midnight tonight already /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Also, do we have to save our hand histories and report them somehow or is this done on the honor system?

[Sponger15SB]

Well I'm just going to filter by date in PT, and I think that includes times a few hours during 11/30/04

I don't feel bad doing that considering me and Dbowl are playing 3 tables with each other right now.

[DBowling]

You should feel bad considering you are playing 9 tables without me, yet i am only playing 1 table without you.
I agree, just filter by date, so those hands that occur in after midnight count towards december

[pfkaok]

Already logged a few hands for DEC, you're going down cnfuzzd. Thrillhouse is stayin, and by the way, you're a nerd, and on the moon nerds get their pants pulled down and spanked with moonrocks.

[Tosh]

Good luck bison, how about a side bet on who makes the most $ in December? $100?

[NYGmen56]

I'll be playing 1/2SH on party this month. Anyone want to make a side bet on who has the best BB/100 (as long as you play more than 10,000)??

Raiser...what levels do you play

[bonanz]

you didn't pair me with anyone... but actually i booked a trip to florida for the end of december and was probably going to have to cancel my participation... so /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[bisonbison]

Good luck bison, how about a side bet on who makes the most $ in December? $100?

only if you're playing 3/6. and prolly not for $100.

[Alobar]

sweet, I'm not going to have to look at that illinios avatar for an entire week /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Ponks]

Actually, I think you wont have to look at it for a month, unless the rules changed? Big game tonight against wake forest though, looks like I'll have to wait till tomorrow to start getting some hands in.

Ponks

[cnfuzzd]

The avatars stay changed for the entirety of the next month. Also, an addendum to the rules, which is new(but i can do that), sttes that you have to make a post in the "Official Open Challenge Second Place Thread" with the new avatars and location.

When are the november totals gonna be up? If brian didnt send his in last night, do i win by default? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Entity]

Madtown is going down.

That rhymed. I rule.

[jtr]

Curse you, Yobz! /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Jumping in there one minute after midnight when I won't be back to my poker-playing lair until Sunday...

Ready to make it two straight losses?

6,592 hands already. Sucker

[Ponks]

Geez, I haven't even be able to start yet. I wont get to play till Sunday either /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Ponks

[Yobz]

Alright, got my count in as of today: 713.
Not *too* shabby so far, but nothing to be jumping up and down for. I'm on track for another 4k month (since I wont be back home until Monday or so) /images/graemlins/smile.gif

As a side note: I have a week free this month where I wanna play *lots* of poker, so I might actually hit 10k+ this month!

[Justin A]

I suppose today is Friday, and we're supposed to report on Friday's, right? I won't be playing any poker today, so I can report now, and thus far I've logged 4948 hands. Too bad I suck at poker because I hardly made any money. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Justin A

[Non_Comformist]

3168 but you will still fall.

[Ponks]

0 for me so far :|

Ponks

[Justin A]

Well today is your chance to make up for the ground you lost on the first. A rare day off for me.

I was originally going to offer you some sort of sidebet on who has the highest BB/100 for the month, but considering I've gotten in about 3000 hands already and I'm on the worst slide of my short poker career, I'm going to reconsider.

I already dropped down to 2/4 since I was a little short-rolled for 3/6 to begin the month, and now I may end up dropping to 1/2 for awhile... /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Lots of work to do on analyzing and improving my game. Not now though. Alcohol and womens await.

[Raiser]

1919 for me.

Bleh.

[Sponger15SB]

I've played 9,489 hands so far.

[Alobar]

I've only got 3100, so you still have a chance :/

[Tosh]

I guess that decides Brian's January opponent!

Well, I'm not doing so well myself. Only 2k hands (ugh) with a BB/100 of -1.8. Sucky mcsucksuck.

Rob

[Entity]

Man, I love the swings over poker. 436 hands later, I'm now at +1.04BB/100. I gotta catch up to your hand totals, though. Time for some 8-tabling. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Rob

[bisonbison]

2300 through Friday. bleh.

[Justin A]

Do live hands count? I'm having Neteller issues and so today I can only play live. Not that the 300 hands I could get in a super long session are really going to matter.

Justin A

[Freakin]

I'm in trouble.... 0 hands so far. And i've got finals coming up this week (but then I graduate for good).

Freakin

[NYGmen56]

ive got 143 played so far.

that is not a typo. raiser u are still going down. when i finish finals next week ur butt is mine /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[Ponks]

Well thanks for keeping it somewhat interesting. My buddies from home came to visit this weekend to party but they just left so looks like I might get some time to play before I go out tonight, but you're still 3100 ahead of me ><

Dont worry I'm not giving up, just gonna be an uphill battle.

Ponks

[BusterStacks]

3068 as of last night.

I'd probably be better off letting you win because I play badly and more hands means more bad play

/images/graemlins/confused.gif
/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[illunious]

6,407 up to Saturday (not counting the few hundred hands on my laptop) way more than average, yay for cnfuzzd's challenge.

Well, today is another day... cramming in the hands, since I have a paper due Monday and will be quite busy through Thursday. Things appear to finally be turning around. 900 hands today have so far produced a +50 BB upswing, and was as high as +75 BB at one point. Still, both my 2/4 and 3/6 rates are still sitting at -1.5 BB/100 for the month. Boo.

[NYGmen56]

And by the way, I go to PSU...so I already have a nice big Nittney Lion picked out for you for January...

..oh yeah. I went there.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry Gmen. I just now saw this post.

I play the NL50 6-max games at Party. I'm not sure our games are comparable enough to make a side bet. And besides that, I suck, so a side bet would be silly.

/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[jtr]

Hey Yobz: apologies for the late report. I've made it back to my PC as of tonight and have done my first 446 hands for December. So you're looking good.

You're scaring me. Although come to think of it, who needs Xmas anyway? Maybe I'll join you in shooting for 10K.

5644 and counting... on pace for a 30k month, which would be a new personal high. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Tosh]

I had about 6000 through Saturday but lost my internet connection and its still not up so I guess you can catch/overtake now.

Gah, I will not have any connection other than a dialup (for a couple of hours here and there) till next Monday. There you go bison, that'll be 10 days for you as a handicap, my money says I still win though.

Ouch. Well. Don't worry, if you lose your title is likely to revolve around the war of jenkin's ear.

Damn dude. I'm only at 3,646 hands. You're crushing me.

[uw_madtown]

So we report this Friday, and the first standings update will come out this Saturday? Yeah?

Because I really want to demoralize Entity with a huge hand-count in the first two weeks. Because I highly doubt I'll be able to get a ton of hands in once December 22nd or so hits.

[cnfuzzd]

correct, i will post a reminder tomorrow, and as soon as i have all the numbers, i will post standings on saturday.

[cnfuzzd]

anybody seen the 50K freeroll advert on party? How many challenge participant do you think will be in the top tier? I think you all owe me a beer. or several.

Ugh. I thought we played about the same amount of hands when I agreed to play you. I'm a little over 5k now. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think I'm around 7300. But like I said, I'll likely have a huge dropoff during the last half of the month, between finals week and Christmas week. I'm guessing I'll end up around 20k in the end.

My goal for January though? 35k-40k at 3/6.
