To help these games get off to a good start, I'll be 6tabling them @ various speeds and various BI levels so come and find the value! :)

I'll start my first lot of games shortly after 1pm.

    Hi All,

    We've had the regular SnG structures amended to something much more playable, so let's get some action going on them!

    There are now 3 speeds of regular SnG which can be found under

    SnG  >>> Regular
    SnG 
    >>> Speed
    SnG 
    >>> Turbo

    The blinds for these are 7 mins, 5 mins and 2 mins respectively and are running games from 55p to £11.

    The challenge is to win (1st place) in 4 of these SnGs in a row in ascending BI levels similar to the DYM challenge:

    Level 1 - £1.10
    Level 2 - £2.20
    Level 3 - £5.50
    Level 4 - £11

    The first 3 players to complete the challenge in March will win a £33 BH Seat
    . If NO-ONE gets 4 wins in a row, then the 3 seats will be up for grabs to the first 3 people to win 3 in a row during March.

    On the basis, that it's first come, first won, please post your results up in this thread as soon as you complete it or bust a level!


    I'll keep a leaderboard going and include everyone who has come 1st twice in a row (or better). All results will be verified by Sharkscope.

    ================================================================================

    Please post your name in this thread BEFORE YOU START PLAYING if you want to take part and I will keep a list of runners.


    NOTE: Results are tracked based on the time the tournament starts, so for example , if you have won 3 games in a row, then sit down to 4table these, to win the competition you need to win the first game which fills up and loads. It is based on start time, not end time. For this reason, be aware of the start times when multi-tabling. You can always check the order in which the games happened in your Account History.


    Good Luck Everyone!!

    You can look at someone's last 8 SnG/MTT results on Sharkscope without even being a member. If you are a member then you can look at basically whatever you want. So it'll be easily verified by me on Sharkscope and just as easily verified by Sky themselves.

    I take it 6 max speed 55p does not count?As this would be my limit.
    Pity the 55p's don't cover all three speeds.

    Having pushed big-time for changes to SnG's, I feel bad about not having a go at this competition.

    However, I'm not playing at the moment and when I go back to the tables I'm resolved to play almost exclusively cash...

    I look bad now, don't I? lol

    Belsi - The 55p are included in the new structure update and are a regular SnG so they will be included in this competition.

    Can I put you down?

    Edit:- Just noticed there is turbo 6-max but it has 20% rake?

    I would like to join in, am not very good but it looks like fun. so please count me in.
  • edited March 2013
    Earlier was a bit of a fail for me.

    I regged in 6 games, 1 of them got up and running, then the in-laws came round so I had to de-reg the other 5 and shove off my stack in the one that had loaded.

    More games will definitely be played tonight. Glad to see we already got 11 runners, I'm expecting 100+

    I think it's fair to say that after my posts on your last SNG thread, I'm definitely in!

    I guess it makes it harder, but I think foremost I'll try to play full ring initially... on the assumption that tables will actually fill :)

    4-in-a-row (or more) used to be regularly achievable back in the softer days of Poker, playing against those players that enjoed a good Party, but I'd be happy to even get back-to-back wins these days...

    Well done for getting some traction on all this Lambert!!

    Apologies for the goal posts being moved slightly. This has arisen from discussions around prizes with Sky, so please make sure you read the OP to ensure you are doing the right thing!

    That's level 1 completed on my first go. Will be playing a £2.20 game later tonight if anyone fancies a game.

    just to clear things up a little since i first posted a lot seems to have changed.

    if im reading first post correct now you have to win 4 games in a row in ascending order, so if i reg for 3 £1 games and all start within say 10 mins, i lose first win 2nd and lose 3rd then have i wasted my shot at the £2 level. is this correct thinking?

    is it a case of just 1 tabling these
  • edited March 2013
    Sorry mate it's all been mixed up a bit through discussions about what the prizes would be, how long it might take people to complete it, how we'd verify the wins etc.

    Basically, yes you have to come 1st in a £1 game, then £2 game, then £5 game, then £11. Off the top of my head for anyone who is wondering, I think you'll be the better part of £70 better off if you do that btw + the seat.

    The timing is based on when they start so if you register a £1 game and that means it's got 5 people registered so far, (personally) I would register the £2 game then if it wasn't too full, and if it starts heading towards getting full and my £1 still hadn't kicked off, I'd de-reg the £2 game to make sure it doesn't start before my £1 does. The main thing is games have to load in the correct order and obviously you have to win.

    It's up to you whether you enjoy them, have the BR and are good at them (I'm sure you are) etc. because I'd be happy playing my £1 game and once it loads playing my £2 game at the same time. If I lose the £1 game then yeah that stops my chances of winning the challenge on that go but I can still win the £2 game and get £8 so I'm happy.

    If you're in it 100% for the challenge then I guess 1 tabling is the way, but a speed (my game of choice) shouldnt take much more than 30 mins.

    Sorry I really rambled on there!
