On this glorious Raftober Saturday, Geoffrey "The Giraffe" Rasmussen challenges you to his Caught Raffin Challenge





In any tourney tomorrow starting between 1PM and 430PM Eastern :

1 Shot for every hand in which you lose 50 BB+*
1 Shot for every all in with less than 10% equity
1 Shot for every tourney that you peak in the Top 10(Post 1st Break) but bust before the money

1 Shot for every signature move made, aka Fatality. Each Top Poker Player(TPP) has their own trademark special move, and during each contest we will reveal a TPP's signature move to use. This contest we will be using THAY3R's Green Queen™ Fatality, in which every time you lose an all in with the queen of clubs, you must take a shot.

Assign 1 shot to friend every time you successfully 5 bet bluff.
Assign 1 shot to friend every time you successfully cold 4 bet bluff.
1 Shot for everyone in the group every time you make a Final Table

*In select Giraffe Freeze™ tourneys, you must take 2 shots. The Early Giraffe Freeze™ is the 75 FO on FTP at 1PM ET. The Giraffe Freeze™ is the 75 FO at 4PM ET

Happy Giraffin!

If this gets enough of a following we can add some rules. Maybe in select tourneys we can have checkpoints and the biggest stack hands out a shot?

looooooooooooool

wow. can't think of a better game in the world, can't imagine im not the best at this. too bad i don't play saturdays

sounds like a great game, wish i was playing tomorrow now

I might do this live today in honor of geoff

fyi i literally had nothing to do with the creation of this

we were @ the hilton head diner @ like 230 AM and shuman wouldnt stop saying "raftober" and then they just kept goin with it, and then when i wanted beer @ walgreens they kept callin me "the tipsy giraffe" and finally thayer was just like we should have a drinking game everytime he raffs it up

Not sure if I'm gonna be playing tomorrow, don't usually play saturdays... pretty fun idea tho

during pca multitabling tournaments this yr, like the one where everyone signs up for 20 and plays against each other, we should make one of the days a Raffin Edition

LOL AT PLAYING ONLINE POKER @ PCA PCA IS FOR PARTYING AND DRINKING GET A LIFE DUDE

I call it Rafftoberfest

Lol, shot is too extreme for me. I'll do one beer for every time, though, maybe.

I dunno how you went about this particular part, but it's f*cking hilarious

Also this kind of thing should only be done in groups of people sitting in the same room, nobody should advocate drinking alone

Drinking alone is underrated

nit

Raftober

Update: Geoff & Thayer haven't left their rooms yet. In fact I woke up and showered and went to make sure they were each awake... Geoff was lying in bed with his laptop on his belly. Thayer same exact position in his room except babytop on his belly.

and...here......we................go

It's as if Shaun F Deeb is the sensei, and they are his disciples

to align your poker energy, you must put your workplace closest to your chi... your belly

AND YOU MUST NOT USE A MOUSE.

and you must volcano

I'm gonna make sure to quote this 3 months into your SNE quest next year

It's a good thing I do not have any liquor in the house. Doubt I wouldn't be blacked out by the time the UB 300 even starts.
