I'd be very interested in increasing min # of tables and # of hands though.
mandatory increase in stakes every xxxx hands? maybe set a number of hands per day that needs to be maintained once there are is only 1 match still going in a particular round?

I nitted up/folded last 300 hands and hung on against cowpig. I want to say that though I think it was pretty mandatory equity-wise for me to do that, I think this is gay as ****, and prob won't be doing another one of these unless we find some different rules that don't encourage this.

I'm not blaming anybody obv bc my initial thoughts were that this sounded great.

one possible way to do this is instead of having matches last exactly 3000 hands, have a moderator randomize to between 2750-3250 and call the end of the match

coulda also make rules where you start at nl50 and each 24 hours you add a table and move up a level

so 5th day in would be 5 tabling ml50 nl100 nl200 nl400 nl1000 ect

the whole moving up a level thing will dramatically restrict the crowd willing to play

I like the idea of having a mod or impartial party randomly end it, but think it should be a bigger range. Something like 2500-4500 hands. This seems fair

So when does the impartial judge decide how many hands to end it? If it was randomly predetermined before hand, I don't see how it matters though?

I'd prefer the tournament structure to stay as it is just so we finish it like we started.

Iamalagtard and I are starting soon and will play the 3k hands rather than a mod randomizing 2500-4500 bc he prefers to play 3k and I have no problem following the original rules.

Basically, I'll randomize the number of hands through random.org, and keep that number to myself (maybe PM it to Nemo or something so that there is a clear record and no way that I can change it, etc). You guys just play, unaware of how many hands are left in your game. Keep me updated on how many hands you've played, and when you hit the pre-determined number, I'll let you guys know that the match is over, and to only count the first, say, 3224 hands for the purpose of this challenge.

I like rum's idea of 2500-4500 hand range. Any small range and it's not that big of a difference, and plus, for the money rounds, playing 500 more hands (on average) sounds reasonable.

We could also do it where you have to play out the 4500 hands and THEN I'll tell you if the limit was actually only 2625, because then there will really be no "folding to a win" dynamic (in the other system, if it's been 4100 hands gone and I still haven't told you your match is over, you can know that the match is still going and will take no longer than 400 hands), but that might be kind of annoying having to play so many more hands than required.
