RAPTORS SELF CHALLENGE!! JOIN IN

[raptor517]

ok, i have had an absolutely horrendous run this week, and cant seem to win anything. so naturally, in my infinite wisdom, i jumped up in limit, aaaaand, got tallywhacked, as usual. so tomorrow, im going to play 200 sngs. i got set up to 12 table (pics coming soon), and will start at 11am CST.

12 tabling is nuts. hurts my mind, however, i feel like making a bajillion dollars, and forcing myself to do things like this will get me there. ill be playing on 3 accounts. my regulars, Bebop86 and wtf_PWND, as well as my new eurobet account: Pillow86 . feel free to drop in and say hey, course i probably wont notice the chat, let alone anyone else's chip stack. its more a test to see if i can keep up, and the goal will be only 10% roi. once i adjust more, goals will be set higher. anyways, if anybody wants to join in, play 100 or something like that, great, id love to see some posts.

as a side note, this is not an OFFICIAL raptor challenge. that will be raptor challenge #2, and will take place sometime next week /images/graemlins/wink.gif holla

[Apathy]

Sounds fun... I'm gonna try to get up as early as possible and play stupid amounts of SNGs...200s and 109s...no promise on how many though considering the state im in now at 4:20 am... ok I'm going to bed but im doing this tommorow, studying earlier then the night b4 is stupid right??

[DonButtons]

ok, im going to get up early for this...

[LeVoodoo]

meh, just a couple more days and i'd have my two new monitors hooked up.
i'll be ready for the next one

[raptor517]

oh yea, im going to be playing the 55s. so if u play those, be ready for me /images/graemlins/wink.gif bwahahahahahahahhaha

[1C5]

cool!! I only got one monitor so I will 4 table the 22s today I think for a few hours. Wish me luck. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[kyro]

you might want to get your ass out of bed in the near future if you plan on getting 200 tourneys.

i've been trying to figure out how many tourneys on average you could get per hour. i'm guessing around 5-6 per 4 tables, thus around 11 for 8. does that seem right?

[raptor517]

yes that seems about right, but im 12 tabling. bwahahahahaha, if im lucky, around 18 per hour. yea i gotta a lot of work to do. sigh.. i will be starting my self challenge in 20 MINUTES. woohoo. holla

[rohjoh]

what names are you playing under? I want to avoid you at the $55's today...

[DonButtons]

Im ready, but only 4 tabling 200s, but Ill be on empire, screen name is bads33d_

[DonButtons]

[raptor517]

THis is what happens when you get people who don;t understand the game policing the game.

[raptor517]

[TheUsher]

I'ma join you on this challenge since this is probably my last full day of playing before I leave. I'll be 4-tabling the 109's. Chat's usually off though so sorry in advance if anyone says hey...

[Mr_J]

"that will be raptor challenge #2, and will take place sometime next week holla "

I'm up for that. My net is knocked out and I needa make up for lost time (just as I finally put together back to back 50 sng days). 400 would be nice.

Looks like raptor's on a break right now since he lost his internet connection. Challenge might be temporarily delayed now for him due to technical difficulties. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[TheUsher]

Since you're updating Don I'll post mine:

Really small # since I'm doing stuff at home but I'll try for at least another 20-25 tonight if I could finish packing and stuff.

[valenzuela]

[Apathy]

5/0/0/8

I like my finish distrubution though /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm starting up again now we'll see what i get done.

I think Raptor could be out of it I'm pretty sure his internet crapped out.

[Maulik]

yo usher,

why were you interested in why I beat the $11s and jumped to the $33s, you seem to be doing well at the $109s.

[raptor517]

BAH. DAMN YOU CHEAP APARTMENT INTERNET!!!! ok, well, my self challenge bombed today. im very pissed about that. i got in about 90ish sngs, then the internet crapped out while i was on 5 bubbles or 3 handed or less. sooo, i give usher a call, he loads up my sngs, and yea, there are only 4 left, but we manage to get a first and a third over the phone with the few games we have left. thanks ush, i owe ya one.

as for the raptor challenge.. again, i hate not completing my goals. i feel like i have failed somehow, but there is really nothing i could have done. sigh. well, next weekend, there will be an OFFICIAL RAPTOR CHALLENGE!!!! holla

[DonButtons]

You should think about investing in wireless internet for emergency reasons. I have verizon as my cellphone service-- and in case of emergencies, i have the cable that plugs in my phone to my laptop. It is free of charge-- uses minutes-- and if u have unlimited nights+weekends-- it's free on nights and weekends. And for you, it is well worth it because u lose alot more when u get disced, than u pay in cell phone charges @ $.50/minute.

[Mr_J]

raptor, is challenge #2 gonna be a week thing like last time?? I'd like to have a go at 100+ sngs a day for a week (I'd love to try 1k sngs in a week but it's impossible for me...6 tabling I'd need to play 16hrs a day...I sleep for 8-12...100 a day will take 11-12hrs).
