The Rules:
1. Everyone puts in how many hands they think they will play and then I will pick who will be matched up fairly unless people specifically challenge each other. If need be, there can be handicaps or several people taking on one person, but this must be set at the beginning of the month and can not be changed afterwards.
2. I will put up the thread to report weekly numbers every Thursday. You have until Sunday night at 11:59pm to report or you will lose 1k hands from your final total [unless you have really good reason or I am told beforehand]. The results for the week will be posted every Monday.
3. All hands will count for any game that you are a winner or trying to learn/win at. All live hands count as 35/hour and all hands that you don't/can't put into poker tracker online like some tournies or SNGs I think should count as 50/table/hour to err on the side of caution. All full ring game hands that can't be put into PT will count as 60/table/hour and all shorthanded games will count as 75/table/hour
4. Whoever wins at the end of the month chooses the other's avatar and location, but it must not be something so offensive so as to get anyone banned.

The Matchups:
Isura vs. MEbenhoe
eibert vs. mantasm
Dariel86 vs. Dopey
billyjex vs. eric5148

If you play in a home game do those count same as B&M hands or are those not counted at all?

when Calculating my average hands per month, I only looked at pokertracker over the last 2 months.
So, since i'm challenging the organizer of this I'll be nice and only count my online hands for the month.
Don't want to beat him by too much /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Don't get too cocky now. I'm 2-0 over the last two months in the OC.

For the home game, that is a really tough question. I play with some guys from time to time but it isnt overly serious and goes hella slow so I would not count those. If you have a pretty serious home game that you play because it is +EV, not just for fun while drunk or something, then I would count it the same as B&M, otherwise nothing. Hope that works as an answer.
