Open Challenge July: Signups
 

Time to sign up for the July Open Challenge. I'll give this at least 3 days, maybe a bit more. I hope we can get everyone who signs up this month to actually come back and report every week. I am just going to reprint the rules below and add a few minor things to clarify. Good luck in July everyone!

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 total numbers every thursday [even next thursday]. I do not need your week total numbers, but all of the hands you have played up until that point in the month. 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. There will also be one standard issue avatar that everyone can use if they wish instead of finding their own. Creativity is still encouraged though.

Let's battle! I think 30k is prob more representative of what I'm going to be able to do anyways. I like to be optimistic. This should be a close one I'm predicting.

Hope the cards treat ya well [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

man, I'm cutting into your earn that much?

thought you were going to take a shot at the random 15 or 20 short games...?

Re: Open Challenge July: Signups
 

Put me down for 25k

Re: Open Challenge July: Signups
 

Alright, sign me up. Put me down for 30k hands, boss.

Re: Open Challenge July: Signups
 

Put me down for ~12K.

Re: Open Challenge July: Signups
 

If you think you are going to play 30K hands, we need to discuss some sort of handicap for me. I have no chance of playing that many.

Re: Open Challenge July: Signups
 

15K

Re: Open Challenge July: Signups
 

I've never even heard of this kind of thing, but I'm really glad i stumbled upon this thread.

I know I need to stop being a pussy and play more, so put me down for 15K as well.

How does the matchup thing work?

And are all you guys going to be 8-12 tabling or just 4 tabling like me?

Actually, just checked my pt database, and I actually played 9k hands last month, so 15 shouldn't be that much more difficult.

Re: Open Challenge July: Signups
 

I'm in for 10K
