400 Tournaments this weekend...

[imcastleman]

I'm posting this more as encouragement for myself than anything. But, I'm going to play 400 tournaments by Midnight Sunday Night CST. Anyone want to join the challenge, feel free. I'll post my results at the end of each session. By the way, I'll be playing the 109's as iwascastlemn, SevnFigures, and Triple__D.

[Supersetoy]

By the 109 figure, I take it this is going to be at Party?

[Blarg]

Oooh, this is gonna get raptor's juices flowing.

Good luck man, that's one helluva goal. Definitely tell us how it all turns out and what it was like trying to do that many that fast.

[Blackjack]

I'll join ya in the challenge but I'm only going to play 133.. if you're 12 tabling - I'm only 4 tabling.

Also at the 109s.

let the challenge begin

[TheUsher]

Looks like I'm in too.. I'll probably be 4-6 tabling 109/215's with a couple of evil 55's thrown in at times. (don't ask why I hate 55's)

I'll put my goal at 150 by 9am PDT Monday morning. Feel free to avoid me on The_Program / The_Usher. /images/graemlins/grin.gif Probably start in like 2-3 hours or so and stop tomorrow morning at like 6am PDT. Don't you just love long sessions. /images/graemlins/wink.gif GL guys.

[DonButtons]

ehh, I use to like these challenges but it takes forever to open a table without a 2+2er in it.

Wait till raptor and I move in together, the personal challenges begin /images/graemlins/grin.gif Who can play for a week straight prob. hahaha

[raptor517]

Well, that's better than who can wear the same t-shirt longer or who can go longer without brushing their teeth.

[Gramps]

I'd be down some other weekend, but Giants game + Mother's Day Sunday means I'm going to be a puss and only do 100 or so.

Maybe I'll do a table search and sit on your left in a few 109s around 10 p.m. Sunday night...

[Scuba Chuck]

Are you also 16_tabler?

[DonButtons]

i think it took me one to many sng's to understand not to sit at the same table with gramps...lol...I dont know how many times I called your pushs to see 56s00ted or 45s, i think you have a thing for it..

Cash games that's a pretty decent challenge, but for SNG's, 120k hands isn't that hard to accomplish, especially 12tabling.

[xPuns1her]

DonButtons, what is your SN on party. I want to play a $109 with you.

[imcastleman]

Are you saying I move in too much from the small blind?? Or that I fold the small blind too much??

[DonButtons]

I think he got it the other way around /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[imcastleman]

Yes, I am. But that account gets no rakeback so I'm not using it anymore.

[Degen]

are you CrazyGramps on Empire?

yes, he is.

[Gramps]

That's two "y's" and you got it. One "y" was already taken.

[Gramps]

I'm saying you might be burned out from playing 380+ SNGs and start playing it like a $5+1 all-in fest to blow off steam...

...of course I'll call your push with something like QQ and lose to T2o.

[Gramps]

Small sooted is goot for sucking out against those who dare call with a top 20% or so hand...

[imcastleman]

Unfortunately, I didn't meet my goal of 132 tournaments for today, but I did get to 108. Here are my results thus far:

1st: 17
2nd: 7
3rd: 14
4th-10th: 70

ROI: 13.83%
Total Profit: $1,628

Tomorrow's going to be a long day. Time for me to take a short nap.

[TheUsher]

Nice stats so far. Your rakeback is what, another $250 or so? That alone is usually a day's pay for a 9-5 working stiff. /images/graemlins/wink.gif Looks like I'm done too for the day. No idea what my exact stats are but suffice to say it's a healthy +. I didn't see you at any tables today which is a bit strange, but that's cool with me since I didn't have to actively avoid you. /images/graemlins/grin.gif GL tomorrow everyone.

[shejk]

I played you castleman at three tables at once at one time. You seemed to go on tilt after busting with 86o postflop against a set on one table and proceeded to push your QJ top pair Q kicker into a better top pair to bust almost simulatenously at another. I felt sorry for you.

Nice results though.

[imcastleman]

That's almost discouraging....For someone to feel sorry for me? It would be interesting if you had those hand histories available and to post them to see if those plays were horrific or not.

[shejk]

I'll see if I can dig them up. Eurobet isn't sending me the files, but they should be in my pt database.

I'm sharing three tables with you now as well. I'm the other shortstack at the table with the monster chipleader.

[shejk]

First of all: Tell me if I'm a pain in the ass and I should go back to minding my own business. When I wrote it it was meant to show that I had indeed been sitting at your tables. That said, here are the hh:

The first one there was nothing really wrong with. The second one, I'd probably fold from the sb, then have a tough decision whether to go for a cheap showdown or fold on that flop. With a bet and a call in front, I'd fold.

[imcastleman]

Yup,yup, the 2nd one is definitely a bad way to lose a tourney. I seem to have troubles getting away from top pair once we are in level 4 or greater due to the fact that I don't have enough blinds to find out how strong someone is. In that particular situation, I can't really vote for folding to the 100, and I can't see any kind of raise that's not going to commit me, so I just pushed and lost. That's the breaks. In addition, I'm not a big fan of folding the small blind when there is 350 in the middle and it costs me 5% or less of my stack.

[Gramps]

Your distribution is interesting. I've moved up to 6-tabling and have added two 109s - my 1st/2nd/3rd distribution shows a similar patter (most 1sts, a few less 3rds, a lot fewer 2nd than 3rds or 1sts). My 215 distribution doesn't do this. I'm not quite sure why (are there just more bad HU players in the 109s?).

[shejk]

For what it's worth my distribution is the opposite. I've got 9% firsts 14% seconds and 15% thirds. This is almost surely due to variance.

For 100 SNGs, surely you can't draw conclusions. Mine is for about 800 - still can have a bit of variance in there, but it's more likely to be indicative of a long-term pattern.

I think imcastleman plays a similar style to mine, so maybe this is the distribution type (1st, 3rds, and 4ths about equal, fewer 2nds) you'll see with it at the 109s.

Then again, maybe not. Hard to know for sure until you have thousands under your belt without a whole lot of experimentation in your play.

[DonButtons]

I got that same pattern going on too in the 109s.

[DonButtons]

Im starting to wonder, do any of you guys ever chat at the tables when your 4-12 tabling?, I just dont feel like keeping up with the chat lately, but kind of feel like an ass when Im not responding to someone.

[shejk]

4tabling yes. Kind of depends how much other stuff is going on of course. I generally don't consider people rude just because they don't reply though.

[FatalError]

My disto over nearly 500 is 15%/14%/13% which i consider nearly ideal, FYI my 4th/5th are both 12%

[raptor517]

yea i talk to people. im a nice person. god i wish i was crackin down workin on this challenge. im so lazy, i only wanna play like 300. oh well. time to start up /images/graemlins/wink.gif gl castleman, hit me on aim lmk how its goin. holla

[LeVoodoo]

My distribution since signing up to Bet on Bet this morning: 2/10/0 and 10 5th's through 25 games.
Insignificant sample size, yadda yadda, but weird anyways. Go variance.
