Not really a challenge is it - that freeroll will have more runners than any 8pm tournament would ever get ;)

    ORF WITH HIS HEAD!

    So, fancy a little mini-challenge in October?

    I play 4 nights this month on the site, every Wednesday from 7pm till midnight. And I'll be playing exclusively sit and go heads up games.

    I'll be flitting around on various turbo levels from £1 upwards so I'm bound to be at a table that suits your bankroll and I'll keep you updated as to where I am on this thread. 

    Stick my name in 'Find A Player' - 'richorford' and track me down. Once you've found me, open the table and lurk in the chatbox. When you see me finish a game, head straight to the first empty heads-up table at the same level (unless I specify otherwise) to try and beat the queue! It's a lottery, but if you persist you should get your chance to take me on!


    The challenge..?

    CAN YOU BEAT ME ONCE AT HEADS-UP DURING THE COURSE OF OCTOBER?

    That's it! Doesn't matter when, what format or at what level you do it, as long as I record a heads-up victory made by you against me during the whole of October.

    Either myself or AceBarry will keep an ongoing list to show who's managed what, as we progress through the month.

    And the prizes?

    Everyone who beats me during October will be entered into an exclusive free-roll with this prize pool...

    1st A Sunday Roller seat worth £220

    2nd A Thursday Roller seat worth £110

    So, you do the maths- that's serious extra value for simply playing and beating me heads-up. I'm trying to imagine how many people will be in that eventual freeroll, but as I'm only playing 4 nights of 5 hours and I'll be moving around all over the place during each session, I can't imagine it will be many.

    Hope you like the challenge and see it as a little bit of fun to tick off on top of your usual exploits on the tables in October.

    Can you join the 'I beat Orf club'? Or will you, embarrassingly, fail to make the grade...against ME? Imagine the humiliation in front of your SKy Poker peers!

    Lol!

    See you on Wednesday night from 7pm sharp then.

    Oh, and by the way, don't think I'll be blithely handing out heads-up wins to everyone because I've been told to play soft and get as many players in the freeroll as possible. Oh no, I'm not the Milky Bar kid, you know. 

    I'll be seriously trying to ensure that not a single person manages the feat against me. For bragging rights on the show. And I think I can do it.

    Prove me wrong!!!!!

    Is it 3 times consecutively Rich?

    IE...3 games on the trot. If that is the case, you could just refuse to play the 3rd one when you will be 2 nil down and not give any prizes anyway :))

    Please note this symbol : )) is a smillie face for avoidance of doubt so this post is said with a hint of jest in it.

    So beat you 3 times to win entry to an exclusive MTT freeroll.

    You know Sky Poker MTT's max out at 2000 players right?

    Lol, lol and world-weary lol again, fellas!

    Loving the gigantic field jibes though!

    As for Alan's question- you don't have to beat me 3 times consecutively. i.e. you could play 15 games against me and lose 12 of them but as long as you won 3 of them, any 3, you're in.

    I'll be looking to play a differerent person everytime i start a new game, so you won't be able to hog the table and play me as many times as it takes to secure your entry in the freeroll- I will play you later on in the same evening though as many times as i can and of course there's 4 Wednesdays in October for you to complete the task.

    You don't need to sign up on here or anything, simply play on Wednesday from 7pm till 12am- anyone who gets a result against me will be added to AceBarry's forthcoming league table of possible entrants for the big freeroll.

    Cleary, there's a lot of love in the room for you Rich...! Is there a prize for the biggest rub-down?

    Would it not be easier to start with all SkyPoker players in the freeroll? Then exclude the ones that fail? Roughly equivalent in terms of numbers :D

    I'm going for the world-record biggest field in an online tournament.

    I believe the current record stands at 149,196...

    Maybe they'll scrap the cap for Rich's freeroll, then the winner will get an added bonus prize of breaking Phil Laak's poker endurance record :)

    We love you Rich, we're only joshing.

    Right, heads up.

    That's where two people play each other, right?

    And does a flush still beat a straight?

    30 hours to go...

    Will the heads up tables be named differently so we can differentiate them from the others..or do we have to keep going to lobby to see who's sitting in there?

    I'm just gonna hang out on the standard tables to start with, Bob. I'll announce in the chatbox and on this thread where I'm going next throughout the night to give everyone a chance to play me between 7 and 12.

    That's the plan anyway. I reserve the right to totally change it the following week by having dedicated tables, if it all goes tilts-up!
