Weekend Challenge : MPM$
 
More Poker = More $$$

In my continual effort to motivate myself to play more hands and have fun doing it, I have challeneged all who dare to enter this bracket. And by all, I mean exactly four or so more people.

Rules:

-The challenge lasts from this Friday thru Sunday.
-You must play 1k hands per day at your normal limits. If you play more, only your first 1k hands of the day count toward the challenge.
-Player who earns the most BB's over the 3k hands wins. $50 entry/player, winner takes all.
-Limit hold'em hands only.

So far it's for sure me, Evan, Soma, and DeathDonkey and we want like, four more players. You must be a reputable 2p2'er to enter, since we'll be doing this largely based on the honor system. This is all off the top of my head, so I'm sure more rules will be added as needed.

Four more please?

How will we make sure to only include the first 1k hands? Count me in though.

Since I was entered in this contest w/o my knowledge I plan to steal $50 from GoT after I lose this thing.

Hey Got,
I don't know if I'm reputable enough but I'd def be in if I didn't have to head up to help my girlfriend paint her new grad school apartment on Saturday. It doesn't have internet yet so I won't be playing much (if any) after tommorrow until Sunday night. If you ever do this challenge again I definitely want a piece of it.

Good luck,
Matt

College Student: A big day? Doing what?

Frank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

Very nice Sully. "Cock, Balls"

P.S. I hope this is the same Sully who was calling everyone at the table a Fish tonight when he got owned. It was especiially funny though when you had AA and there were three callers and I called with 65s from the BB and bet an OESD, then hit a straight on the turn. You then flipped out and called me a fish and went nuts. Hope that was the same guy.

Adios,
Matt the Fish

P.S. If you can tell me what you would've done differently in that hand in my shoes I'll shut up, but only if that was you, which you'll probably deny either way.

I can say with absolute and complete certainty that I was not the Sully in question.

First of all, I wasted my evening playing tournaments, so I don't think we were at the same table.

But more importantly, I have never in my life been guilty of that. Never. And I take offense to those who do...it pisses me off to no end. Sit there and take it like a man.

If you want to pm me, I'll give you my Empire screen name, which does have the word sully in it. I play anywhere from 15/30 to 30/60.

I'm not even sure why I care this much to defend myself, but it really bothers me.

Sorry dude,
Celebrated a good night at the tables by boozing heavily and was surly when I saw your response.

Take care,

Eight players:

GoT
Soma
Evan
DeathDonkey
Smiley
Bobdibble
StinkeyPete
Joker122

To the other guys, sorry, either you were too late or none of us knew you really. : / No hate, Only_Love.

To players, Xfer me $50 via Stars, Empire, or Party. Stars : BTAL. Empire : GeeOhTee, name Brighten Taloff. Party : GuyOnTilt, name Brighten Taloff. Let me know when you do either here or PM.

My plan for today is to take a shower, go grab lunch, and then utterly destroy you all. I might decide to bide my time and get off to a slow start though. You know, to keep morale high and all. We'll see how I feel.

money is sent on stars (from stinkypete13)

is there some reasonably simple way to isolate the first 1000 hands of the day in PT or do i have to keep track myself?

The easiest way I can think of is to go to game notes, order them starting with the oldest hand on that day, then export to excel. Use excel to sum the top 1k cells of net profit.

If that confuses anyone and you dont know how to do it you can send me your exported excel file at the email address is my profile and I'll do it for you.

Ok... I just got home from work and I'm just about to start and transfer money to got on stars.

I'll probably just be crossing the midnight barrier as I finish, but I figure that is still within the spirit of the wager as my PT options tab says that my day starts at 10am.. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If anyone has an issue with this, I'll cut off my hands at midnight though.....

I'm substantially in the red.. about -50BB. I'll refrain from whining about why though... at least I made sklansky bucks.

(I'll get graphs up too, but I am going to have to jump through some hoops. I use the pt postgress beta now and will need to create an access db and import this weekends hands for running pokergrapher against.)

as you can see, i play a low variance style.

Re: Weekend Challenge : MPM$
 
Actually, it wasn't as bad as I thought.

I just did the export to excel via the game tab and did the summation and graphing in excel.

Day1: -37.9BB
