Open Challenge April: Suggestions and Entrants

[uw_madtown]

I was supposed to match up with detruncate a couple months ago I think, but ended up needing a poker hiatus. I'd be up for that match, so if trunc is reading and wants to give it an April go, that'd be fun.

Otherwise, I'm shooting for 10-15k. Maybe face off with fellow 'sconsin native MEbenhoe?

I'll throw myself out there. I'm targeting (a pathetic) 5k. I've yet to get anymore than 3500 in a month. Ya'll make me feel ashamed with your 20 and 30k.

[Fabian]

I'll challenge you if you want to.

Since noone has said anything about more specific rules yet I guess most people just don't have a preference. Heard Brian wanted more specifics but he has yet to say anything. I'm just going to throw out some rules that I think would help and people can say if they agree or not. By Weds. I would like to have them finalized for the month

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 [even next thursday]. You have until Sunday night at 11:59pm to report or you will lose 1k hands from your final total [unless you hae 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 air [how do you spell this word?] on the side of caution
cookie, however, brings up a good point and that is that drunken hands should count as negative because they are -EV. Of course I expect noone to be honest about this but I'm putting it in there anyway.
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.

Too strict? Just right?

New player here. I'm aiming for 25k hands. Your set of rules looks good to me, and I believe the word is spelled "err".

[DBowling]

no hitler avatars, that didnt seem to go over well with the non-nazis here.

[bottomset]

[grouchie]

I need a reason to check this forum more often.

[Isura]

I'm in for 10k. I'll be happy if I can pull it off with final exams this month.
