** 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.

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.

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.
