Starting 1st of May 2018.

Nick from Op-poker recently completed a challenge to turn $30 into $1k playing only Power Up poker, mostly streamed on Twitch. After request from the viewers we decided to invite anyone to try and replicate what he did.

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...tream-1710479/

Participants will be required to announce a start date and upon completion would need to send over tournament summaries to prove results. Rakeback cannot be included.

You have one shot! If you lose $30 playing Power Up from the start date your shot is over. Only Power Up games count in the trials.

Prizes:
Merchandise - something like a Power Up or Op-poker themed t-shirt (will get pictures asap)
Badges and status for 2+2 forums and the group chat
Lots of side action (if you want side action or to talk more about the challenge pm me for group chat)



Rules:
From May 1st onwards anyone can submit to join in on the challenge at any time. There is currently no time limit to completing the challenge but this may change in future months.
Participants must state a start date to begin the trials, this will be used as a reference point upon completion so that we can use tournament summaries for approval.
Participants should post at least once per week stating at minimum, current bankroll + number of games played. Adding more info is encouraged, I’d like to do weekly roundup of highlights and maybe some fun stats if there is enough information to work with.

The easiest way to track progress atm would be PokerTracker 4, but I understand this software is expensive and not all of you will have it, so therefore we created a Bankroll tracker, the same one that nick used to complete his challenge

Click file and download as. to use the software, as it is in view only mode

Other than the main challenge, we plan to award achievements. To start with we will offer an achievement based on consecutive games won. More badges may be added in the future so keep a lookout.

Badges will be awarded for winning 3,5,10&15 games in a row. To claim these badges you will need to submit either a Pokertracker 4 graph or send the tournament summaries over to another with group chat to verify.
If you are new to Power Up and do not know where to start pm me for access to group chat - there are plenty of winning players that will be able to help you out.

First!

I'm one of those who requested it and I'll take part in this challenge.

Particularly curious about how the sidebets (multiple bets on how fast you can complete this have been made already) go.

GL everyone who decides to join.

Will be participating!

Good luck to all our participants!

Really looking forward to seeing some results from our community.

I'm thinking of giving something special to those who stream their challenge too! (It's not as easy as it looks!)

Gl to all those that join in. Don't forget it starts tomorrow!

Starting the challenge at the official start time! Gl Everyone!

To all those looking to participate in the power up trials you must enter your start date here on the 2+2 forum. This is required to make sure you do not lose the initial $30!

It is also required if you want the T-Shirt upon completion.

You may start the trials anytime from now! Goodluck!

Lots of really fast starts!

Well, even though the sidebets were cancelled because reasons, still trying to complete the challenge in 12 days.

Day 9: BR $527.62

updates:

Im currently sitting on about $300 have been in the wrong country to play on stars but i'm back so will try and run it up.

MyCactus is sitting arounf $850

Wonder if we will get some completors before the 1st month end?

$968, hope to finish this today.

We have our first official completer of the trials!


+


Graph was made using Excel document sent by PokerStars of all tournament summaries since start date. It was then filtered for only real money Power Up games.

$211 refund due to a few colluders that only appeared during the challenge therefore adding to the total.

Impressive finish within the 1st month

Prize to come #SOON !
