** Open Challenge August: Week #3 Report **
 

Please post your results by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. EST. (or face a 1,000-hand penalty).

If you have any questions about the rules, please see the original rules thread.

You should be including all hands played since Aug. 1 (you can break it down by week if you want to). Info on how to determine your total amount of hands is below.

DETERMINING HAND TOTALS : Here are Emmitt2222’s rules for counting hands: “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 tourneys or SNGs) I think should count as 50/table/hour to err on the side of caution.”

Re: ** Open Challenge August: Week #3 Report **
 

I'm at like +300 given my penalty (which given that this thing started after I had already left and was not informed what was going on is BS but it doesn't matter cuz I'm so getting owned anyway), which is still positive. My goal is to play enough hands such that I can skip the final report and still be positive, ie 700 more. I suck.

what do you mean?

Re: ** Open Challenge August: Week #3 Report **
 

I posted in Emmitt's thread that I was down for 10k around the 4th or 5th, saw nothing announcing the competition from him (maybe you did?) before I left for vacation on the 10th, then saw the matchups were set and the deadline had passed by the time I got back. I may have just missed it, though, esp if you posted it as I was looking for emmitt. Anyway, it doesn't matter, I am so not winning if you spotted me the 1,000 hands.

Re: ** Open Challenge August: Week #3 Report **
 

I'm at 10,182

sorry, man... here's the post... original thread.

If the penatly ends up costing you the win, I'm sure your opponent will be lax on th mix-up/penalty.

Hands up through the end of Thursday 8/18:
21,910

Calculation:
12634 last time, plus:
0 new Empire
4157 UB
5119 Euro

I'm on track for 37.7k hands at this point. Mr. Wood was ahead of me last week by a decent margin (20%), so unless he's going to be on vacation, I'm gonna hafta play even more to catch up. Mebbe I should stop reading the forums.

Re: ** Open Challenge August: Week #3 Report **
 

As of now: 9064.

NO DEAL! HE SHOOULD HAVE FOLLOWED THE RULES!!! lol

It's probably not going to matter since I'm up to 8375 hands as of yesterday. I'm thinking of making this thread an addendum on my law school apps to explain the circumstances that led to my low LSAT score. Looks like I have no excuse for the rest of the month and I'll be taking it off from poker for the most part to focus on some LSAT studying, but it looks like I got this one locked up.

Don't you worry. I've been busy moving out of my apartment all week. I haven't played a hand since and am still at 15,696. Lot of 6 max hands are going to be put in before the end of the month I hope.

Re: ** Open Challenge August: Week #3 Report **
 

A hair under 20k hands so far which I will get to tonight. I will reach 40k by the end of august.

Re: ** Open Challenge August: Week #3 Report **
 

11922 true -- 29,806 with 2.5 handicap.

Ike, it's your chance to catch up (if you still need to catch up) as of last Wed. (Aug 17th). My "T"-time will be spotty from there thru Aug. 31. Need to pump in 8078 more to meet my goal and I see NO way of getting that many in UNLESS business is slow at work for the next 1.5 weeks.

Good luck.

Re: ** Open Challenge August: Week #3 Report **
 

a little under 19k. I think we're going to lose to Brian.

Re: ** Open Challenge August: Week #3 Report **
 

6255

Re: ** Open Challenge August: Week #3 Report **
 

21,425 I'm projecting about 27k at my current pace.
