I'm doing better than last month at least, but the amount of hands you've played this week is worrying.

C'mon, spill, how many hands you got?

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

Hoping to get a few more in today but I have around 27k as of now.

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

shitballs. I played 12.5k hands and I only made up 3500 hands?

I was really hoping the laziness of your plutocratic ancestry would ensnare you.

Looks like it'll be an interesting 8 days.

I might beat you again this month -- and I didn't even start until half-way through.

Team Get Our Ass Kicked By Brian, Member 134324 reporting 9511 hands.

Also, Rob, did you get my PM?

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

For the record,,,

We dont report until after tonights hands have been played. Ive started posting the reminder later than i was simply because several people would report twice, for example, you gave your numbers for the month to date, and will probably also report how many hands you played tonight, in thread, tomorrow.

Although, i did mean to have this up by one, but then my probation officer (long story, non-violent) sprung a surpize UA on me today. As it happens, a couple of weeks ago i gave in since i hadnt been tested in the 9 months i had been on probation. It will be exciting to see how that works out. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Combined with some other nickle antics, life may get interesting starting next tuesday....

However, i do thank you in your dillegence, not only in making sure the Open Challenge is run in a timely manner, but also in reminding everyone of my signature. You know, cause they may have missed it in the last 2K posts. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

report away my friends.

peace

Glad your goal was only 6k. :\
May as well pick the avatar now, no chance i'm making up 2k+ hands in a week.

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

I think my goal was 8k, but I've had to go crazy clearing all the PP bonuses that are out right now. If I change it, I won't be mean. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Tosh, you know you're going to lose, right?

I want to make you work for it, I didn't play a hand the last 9 days of December, and made it too easy. I'm sure you will be able to bash out 20k hands in 8 days and win but I at least want to force you to do that.

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

Ahh, well mine was 6k, which i'll hit... and I'm sure i'll clear one of those party bonuses this week, but I think there's very little chance i'll get to 8k as I was in Vegas last week and my gf will demand some of my attention this week. :P

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

1857 hands

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

If you get 6k, I won't change it since you were disadvantaged from the start. I was planning on something along the lines of this though.

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

so is the goal to have more hands than our paired opponent, or just to hit our originally stated goal?

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

both I guess but mainly beating your opponent

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

Josh you got an opponent for Feb? Assuming bisonbison doesn't want a 3rd go whooping me, fancy a matchup?

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

Yeah, I'll be bowing out, win or lose.

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

While the matchmaking is going on, anyone interested in an opponent for February? I'm going to fall in the 20-30k range. It depends on whether I get comfortable 8-tabling or not. I'd say 20k is my minimum, 30k is my maximum guess.

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

I'm sitting at 26,969 hands so far this month. If anyone wants to battle next month, I'm hoping for 30k.

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

25,345 online
eight hours live, so 280 hands there.

25,625 total.

7 days to go
 

Right then, 28590 hands so far. After bisonbison's session today I expect we'll be pretty close, game on.

I'll try my best. I really feel the poker bug again after taking half of January off, but I am a fairly busy dude. Insomnia here I come.

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

im very dissapointed you didnt give me first go at you. After all, we were supposed to duke it out in december before you pussied out [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

yes, i am calling you out [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

35,831 online hands + 38 hours of live play(1330 hands) = total hands 37,161

Hardly an increase from last weak, but like i said before, i was moving, so there was probably 3-5 days that i was unable to play.

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

32,963 Since Jan 1

Re: Open Challenge Update (Jan. 24)
 

7600 hands. Report for duty sir.
