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.

I like the idea. But just for the sake of the semifinals and onwards, are we going to implement this for sure? LordRush2 and I are about to start now.

If you don't want it, you're well within your rights to play this round (and the next one if you wish) with the original rules, no problem.

If any single person doesn't want it, then we won't implement it, so if you want to start now, just go with the original rules imo, because we'd have to get everybody's approval.

NLSoldier/meltdowncity, if you want to play with the randomized endpoint AND both Gary and LordRush are fine with you guys doing that, you can do so this round.

+1, was thinking this also. Thought some ppl might get annoyed if they won the match but were told it had ended when they were losing, but I spose at least they win the extra cash that way despite losing the equity in the tourney pool.

Looks like we have a good system for next time.

I don't mind escrowing with you, but seems better to find someone else?
