The Sit & Dohhhhhhh Mostly Open Challenge

edited September 2011 in Poker Chat
Greetings

As you may be aware SkyPoker are trialing a new Turbo HU SnG straight from the deep dark recesses of Dohhhhhhh's mind.  My first thought was why wasn't it sponsored by a well known Cider Brewery.  My second was this:

To get this off and running let's have some fun.  I would like to issue a mostly open* challenge to the good people of the SkyPoker Community for a Best of 101 Sit & Doh Multi-table Competition.  The rules are simple, we go heads up on 3-4 tables, first one to 51 wins.  We do this in one night or over two (no more, apparently some challenges end up going on for years, even before the Feds get involved, that's just too silly).  101 might seem like a big number, but I'm sure it can be whittled off quite quickly.

Every comp needs a winner, or in this case a loser.  When a challenger is decided I'll be opening up to ideas from the community for the losers forfeit (stay classy and light spirited, but feel free to make it as brutal as you can, bad costumes/T-Shirts with a special message at SPTs are always a good one, special messages or pictures as a SkyPoker Avatar for 6 months is another idea).  When forfeits are agreed the game will commence.  To the victor the spoils, to the fallen, the humbling.

Ok, please post your interest in this thread if you want to play as well as any comments on the whole thing.  It won't necessarily be first come, first served.  I won't choose though, if there are a number of willing people I will, as ever, ask the community to decide.

*Mostly open you say?  I have two conditions.  Firstly, JJ is getting first refusal.  It's his structure, his SnG and he may well be up for the craic.  Secondly, any candidate must have at least 750 quid in their poker bankroll (not necessarily in their SkyPoker roll, but over all they need at least this allocated for poker only).  I would rather they had at least a grand as these can be high variance and I don't want anyone getting hurt in this in case they run super bad.  I will not be asking for proof, your word is good enough for me.

    Hey Tommy.

    Appreciate the gesture dude, but there's a few things, both long term and short term that could prevent me taking this on!

    1) I can't multi table HU, I've tried to before a few times, and it wasn't good!

    2) I'm scared of playing good players.

    3) I'm really struggling to put prolonged sessions in recently, getting headaches/dizzyness n stuff. (sounds like what I used to say to my teacher in year 4, guess nothing as really changed!) 

    Number 2 isn't really an excuse, as I think my game is pretty much un-exploitable in these, as I'm sure yours is, so in the end there couldn't really be more than 50 quid or so in it either way.

    If there are no other challengers, maybe we can sort something out for a master cash night, maybe a week on Saturday, and play half the games before MC starts, and half after it finishes, assuming you aren't sat on all tables with 2k stacks again and wanting to play on. 

    And no SPT related 4fits for me plz !!!!!! 

    Anything but that ;)

    -------------------

    Btw I was really pleased with how these went off yesterday, time will tell if it was just the novelty or w/e, or if they actually performed well enough to stay (I haven't seen any feedback, just a gut feeling).

    I'm sure more 5.25 hypers were played than any other individual level of HU sng.

    Appreciate all the help from the community in giving them a shot. 

    They aren't for everyone obv, but with only 2 players needed to get a game going, they don't need to be.

    Wiiiiii Great Idea.

    How about the forum lines up 11 challengers, who will play TommyD best of 11.

    Winner of best of 11 wins the battle and earns his team a point.

    First to 6 points overall wins the war!


    THE FORUM V TOMMY D!!!!

    haha thats a good idea JJ, im game

    It would also allow for the multi tabling thing, as he could play multiple opponents at once (although playing 1 opponent on 4 tables is alot diff to 4 different ones, so might be a stumbling block)

    I'm sure I could round up 11 players, figure out an order of play, an anchor man, lead off man, and probably young gun bringing up the rear (obv)

    Might even be able to get TK to guest star for the forum. 

    Not sure how he would tackle this structure tho........

    The Ryder Cup of HU turbos! gooooooooooooooo
