The 100/100/100 Challenge to micros

Let's move this out of the LC thread.

Rules of 100/100/100 challenge (and then back to work for me).

1) You must play at one table 100 continuous hands.
2) You must see the flop 100%.
3) You must attempt at least one pre-flop raise, if possible. We're going for 100% PFR on PT stats, so open raising and calling a 3B is fine. If it is capped to you, your PFR may not be 100%. Have a HH to prove that was the case.
4) You post stats here from PT from that session, showing 100 hands of 100/100 play.
5) Post here when you're about to begin with Site and Table Name. If you want live fun sweat, post an AIM room for laugh-tracking.
6) One challenger to a table please.
7) Please, no 2+2-er should sit down to abuse (or help) said challenger. If he sits down at your table, bad on him.
8) 50 BB buy-in. If you go broke, you lose.

I will pay $5 on either PS or FT (your choice) to the person with the most positive net result. Offer closes Sunday at midnight lobby time on PS (EST, I think). Clarification: The most positive net result is measured in $ of profit (or smallest loss).

Also, anyone willing to throw $5 to the most negative result?

Also, please don't discuss strat as observerver chat. "Gogogog" and "lol" are fine (and quite encouraging). "He would have folded for one on the turn" isn't OK.

You choose the limit, and don't blame me if you toss $40 BB to the fishes. Let me know if I missed anything.

Doug
We should also book some side bets here with player vs. player bets. Play as many times as you like until Sunday ends. Please post results from all challenges.

Very good question. I say money. You're risking 50 BB to make $5, you can choose your level of risk.

I'd say this has to be FR, and you have to change tables if you fall under 8 players.

Also, like most things on this board I say success is measured in bb/100 not $$$$.

This doesn't look as retarded as the BBV original. Well I guess it depends on what limit you play...

I'm with the clarification for FR. It will be really easy to force a table to less than 8 players for a short time period; you'll bust/tilt a couple people. If the table goes SH for a while, re-start. The spirit of the challenge is that you have to face a table full of people who know you're a maniac. Obv. this strategy moght work HUHU. If you change tables every 10 hands, no one will know how you're playing. I really want to see if you can make up for spewing EV pre-flop by great play post.

If you say BB/100, will you put up $5 for the winnar in that category? Anyone want to book that one? I think the limit is kind of self-correcting; you're likely not winning at 1/2 FR, even though any win will win the challenge. Also, you're risking $100 to win $5.

I like BB/11 and I like 8 or more players, so both good clarifications by boz.

When you say put up $5 are we talking about EVERYONE putting in $5 who does it and the prize going to the winner, or are you trying to get a couple people to sponsor a prize?

I would expect most micro posters to be ready to open their veins at hand 90 regardless, having to restart if the table goes SH would definately decimate the number of posters here


Compromise: Find a FR game with 9 players -- initiate gambool. if everyone leaves/table gets shorthanded: you got lucky -- record winrate.


Also as a PSA before you all start -- down the street, not across the street!

Yeah, but would it also be acceptable to start at table 1 and play. Then, if it gets shorthanded at hand 90, leave and open table 2. Then play the final 10 hands to get to 100. Would this work?

Start with a full table, but just stay put. If the number of villains drops, who cares? Just keep pounding away and see what happens. If *everyone* leaves, the challenge is over and you win... or lose... I don't know which.

I'm offering $5 American of my own cash (via transfer) to the person who meets the rules of the contest and posts the best $ total here.

If you disagree with $ and think BB/100 (in this case BB) is the better measure, I suggest that someone on that side of the argument sponsor the contest that way. We might get someone in the thread who wins twice. We might get two winnners. Twice the fun.

Also, if you want to be a great sport, offering to pay $5 for the biggest loss might also be fun. If we get a lot of people playing, that side could be interesting.

Done. Since no one has started, we'll go that way. It seems fair. If you sit at a full table and end it through your efforts, you win.

---

In the end, I expect most people to plop $2 on a .02/.04 table and make some regulars very happy. I'm willing to throw a $5 sweetener in the middle. Play as often as you lik, only one prize awarded from me.

I like your thinking, but I think I'll go the other way. Maybe next week, someone else will sponsor it with moves.

You bust the table, sit there for a couple minutes. If no one wants you, you probably get the grand prize.

Also, we should as the winner supply a SR with a dump of all the hands he played. I don't want to double check the rules; but it should be a hoot to see the hands as they play out. I can see the chat now...
