1 year pro anniversary

[stupidsucker]

Today marks my 1-year anniversary of being an "official" professional poker player and I would like to celebrate it with 2+2.

The first post I ever participated in on the 1-table forum on the 1-table forum is in the archives, and it was a 100 SnG challenge. This was such an awesome motivational tool, and people seem to respond to these challenges well.

I give you two challenges for July with incentives to celebrate.

WSOP challenge:July 1st-15th
Make the most money at 1-table tournaments.

Rules
1.You may enter only once with ONE poker account
2. You may not combine poker accounts into one entry
(for example you may not 12 table three poker accounts in order to gain a bulk edge)
3. Only Party Skin $11-$33 1-table SnGs may be used
(Higher limits may be used, but they will be handicapped (roi x 33 = $)
4. Players will be ranked by how much $$ they make according to the database.
5. Any attempt to fraud the challenge in any way at my discretion will result in disqualification
6. You must have a minimum of 100 tournaments to qualify
7. I reserve the right to alter or discontinue this challenge at any time.

The catch?? SWEAT ME BABY...
I do better if I have some support behind me. I am really just an internet qualifier who won his seat via 1table tournaments through empires Tournament Masters program. I want to represent the section of this forum well.

Follow me in the WSOP event from July 6th-15th.

*If I make it into the money I will give the winner of this challenge a Free Dell LCD monitor.

*If I make the final table I will give the top 25 participants a free Dell LCD monitor. The Challenge Winner will receive TWO Dell LCD monitors.

*If I win the WSOP I will give ALL qualifying participants(see rule #7) TWO FREE LCD monitors. The winner of the challenge will receive FOUR Dell LCD monitors, a monitor stand, and a new computer to go along with it. (don't ask, it will be a nice one)
AND
The Winner of the Challenge will receive a seat in the 2006 WSOP $10,000 Main Event.*

All distributions rely on my placement in the 2005 WSOP, and the minimum # of challengers(10) must be met.

Registered 2+2 posters(before July 1st 2005)

Mainly 22s-55s. I have not played too many 100s, and even fewer 200s.

My first year was a wakeup call and I plan to get a lot of content rich posts in very soon. I learned a lot!!!!

One of the first questions people ask me here is why haven't I moved up. Most of it comes with the reasons I play poker. I play for convenience, not money. My pro career began with getting fired not from quitting. Twice. It became evident to me that A) I could make as much money as I need/want playing poker only. B) I didn't want/need very much. C) I could work when I want, as much as I want and more importantly... As little as I want.

I enjoy being able to take off at any time for a month and do nothing....

Lately I have been more motivated towards... well towards everything.

This year I plan to more than quadruple last years income. I want to be in position to buy a house and be bankrolled for poker that challenges me. I am not challenged when I play below the 55s, but it sure is easy money.

Time to take the other path.

Yeah, I'm pretty much the same. I'd be interested in hearing your experiences. So how well did you do in this last year, if you'd like to share? PM me if you'd like. It'd be nice to see how I'm doing versus someone else in the same position.

I'm entering both challenges.

Good luck at the WSOP!!!

Thanks Ilya,

BTW. My name is Jason Curran. I am playing for Empire Poker.

I would like to enter both challenges but I likely will be playing so few STTs it won't matter.

Oh, and btw, I will be in Oakland tonight and this weekend. If you happen to still be there shoot me a pm and I'll buy you a beer or something somewhere...
