The 2009 100/100/100 Challenge to the Micros

It's that time again Micro'ers. Over the past year, the idea of becoming LAGgier PF has been put forth many times. Time to push it to the max and see what we've learned.

Challenge will run from the time this is posted until Monday October 12th at Midnight.

Rules of 100/100/100 challenge:

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.

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 to the fishes. Let me know if I missed anything.
Based on discussion in last year's challenge, a few additional rules/clarifications:

9) This must be done at FR.
10) Stay at the same table for the 100 hands. If the table goes short, keep playing. If you drive everyone off with your PF craziness and post-flop excellence, you win.

Doug has graciously offered to ship $5 to the person with the best $ result.

I am resuming my role as degenerate enabler and offering the same propbet I did last year:

And in honor of CrMenace (who doesn't post here anymore), but had the most fun-inducing prop bet of them all, IMO, I am also taking over the following:

Additional prop bets are highly encouraged. Just post them here.

Last Year's Challenge
Last Year's Results
An excellent post by DougL that came about from last year's challenge.

And a final, personal word from me. This challenge last year is what changed me from being a mostly lurker/occasional poster to the always on 2p2'er I am today. I credit it (because posting >>>>>>>>>> lurking) with making me the poker player I am. That said, any lurkers that are not regular posters, I encourage you to come out of the woodwork for this event. It's really fun (just read last year's thread linked above) and IMO, it really helps with becoming more accustomed to posting.

Now, let us GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!!!!!!!!!

Excellent choice of picture, imo.

Also, I'm completely stoked about this. In fact, I'm off to take a run at it right now, I think. I'll edit in my table when I get over to windows and have things rolling.

Edit: Pels Fast, .05/.1 Stars

come sweat!

SW8 !!!

Not that I need any encouragement to spew, but this is always fun.
.02/.04 tables will be wrecked!

I forgot to include it in the OP and only just remembered it, but an excellent suggestion from last year (that unfortunately didn't come out until late in the challenge):

Do this at FAST tables. An intact sanity is nice.

only 25 hands in and I'm falling asleep in between because people are so slow.

Not doing badly though, up a few BB. No fun chat though.

Edit: This is taking a lot longer than I thought, I'll probably have to cut this run short and try again later. Much more frustrating than I thought it would be, but that's probably because one table at a time tilts me.

WHAT do I win if I clear the table and have a HH to prove it?

Nobody ever said you had to do one at a time.

pretty standard fare for the BBV4L tables.
I would like to play with BBV4L posters but wait list is usually long.

Respect without having to move up to earn it?
