I'd be interested in a challenge like this. I've always been interested in doing some sort of marathon type promotion somewhere.

Nothing motivates a Klingon like a good challenge. I'm looking forward not only to completing this quest, but to being the first woman to win the WSOP main event. Ok, I only have to go through like 6000 other folks with the same idea, but you have to believe in yourself right?

Yes, I was indeed inspired by O'Doyles example and rather than just be jealous as hell, decided to try some of the same initiative that he showed and come up a similar deal. I certainly give him credit for the idea, and hope he doesn't mind that I wanted to join in the fun too.

And of course, I have to thank the folks over at Gaming Club for working with me. I appreciate their willingness to make this happen.

I'll post some thoughts on getting started later and probably go to weekly updates after that. For right now, I'm just enjoying the rush of exitement, fear, and joy at working on this. The WSOP has been a dream for me quite some time now, and I'm still processing that it really might happen.

Wish me luck, I have a feeling that this is going to be an interesting adventure.

I wish you luck!!!!!!! If I win the paradise master 2, i see you in Vegas [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: WSOP Challenge @ The Gaming Club
 

Is 4 tables the maximum?

The best way to complete this challenge would be to play HU matches. Even 4 limit 6 max tables would take an average of 8 and a third hours per day with no days off.

Ah! Sweet Vindication!

Hey Shauna,

Congratulations! Yea, I could look at it like your stealing some of my thunder of my TruePoker Challenge, but instead I take it as a really nice compliment that someone would copy what I am doing.

As I have stated before, sure, this was about getting to the WSOP, but, it was also about proving that poker sites would be willing to offer special bonuses or incentives to players who agree to play a high volume of hands at their sites. I proved it and now you have as well. Hopefully, this is the start towards some even bigger and better things for the high volume online player.

Good Luck to you and at times I sure you will be wondering what you have gotten yourself into, but just keep your eye on that prize at the end of that long tunnel and you will be fine.

Oh, and just so there is no mistake, I think I must have to end all my posts in the following:

My TruePoker WSOP 120K Hands Challenge.

(The original hand challenge to the WSOP. Don't accept any cheap imitations.)

Re: WSOP Challenge @ The Gaming Club
 

Good luck, but that seems like quite the task.

~ 120,00 hnds / 40 days = 3000 hands a day

~ 4-tabling at 6-max tables say 85 hands/hour ( generous allowance) = 340 hands/hour.

~ 3000 / 340 h/h = about 9 hours a day.

If you fell that 85 h/h is too high or too low, then using the formula:

3000 / (hands/hour)*(4)

yields....

60 h/h = 12.5 hours/day
70 h/h = 10.7 hr/d
80 h/h = 9.4 hr/d
90 h/h = 8.3 hr/d
100 h/h = 7.5 hr/d

Should be interesting.

Good luck,

jw

The challenge ends at Midnight June 30th , so it is 48 days or 2500 hands per day in average, pardon my typo in the original post [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I play just about everything except limit HE.

Maybe not, each possible deal will be made individually, AAmaz0n will be playing both NL and Fixed Limit.
