The Official ADHOC Challenge Thread.

[bisonbison]

This is the official thread for the All-Day Hold'em Obsessive Challenge, the stupidest idea I've had this week.

The rules, such as they are:

1. Before you take the challenge, you must post here declaring when you're starting (so that people may pester you) and how many tables you'll be playing (so that you may be held to ADHOC standards).

2. You do the challenge by playing X tables for 24 hours straight.

3. You post a PokerTracker screenshot in this thread, filtered to the specific date on which you took the challenge.

This screenshot should indicate 3 things:

A. That you played only Party and Affiliates 10-max games.

B. That you played at full tables as much as possible. Therefore, your AP stat (average players per hand) on the sessions tab must be above 7, or you have FAILED.

C. That your hand total is above 1.042 hands/minute/table over those 24 hours, or you have FAILED. This number should keep people playing for almost an entire day, while allowing for poop breaks.

Upon completion and posting, you will be granted entry into the illustrious ADHOC ranks.

Depending on how many tables you played, your rank in the order is as follows:

1 table (1500 hands): Tafetta
2 tables (3000 hands): Cotton
3 tables (4500 hands): Velcro
4 tables (6000 hands): Chrome
5 tables (7500 hands): Popcorn
6 tables (9000 hands): Mucus
7 tables (10500 hands): Teak
8 tables (12000 hands): Tobacco
9 tables (13500 hands): Soap
10 tables (15000 hands): Paprika
11 tables (16500 hands): Leather
12 tables (18000 hands): Rye
13 tables (19500 hands): Cork
14 tables (21000 hands): Velvet
15 tables (22500 hands): Pyrite
16 tables (24000 hands): Nerf

Achieving a given rank means nothing, and should be a matter of shame as much as pride. But if I say I'm taking the 8-table challenge on the 7th and I play 12,000 hands, I'm now ADHOC: Tobacco. If I say I'm taking the 8-table challenge and I play 11,000 hands, I have achieved NOTHING.

That is all. Begin to throw yourselves onto the pyre.
