Orford's timed tournament challenge- the result!

RICHORFORD

CAN I PLAY MY JOKER CARD :):)

RICHORFORD

Hi all,

I'm on the site this Thursday night. And, by popular demand I'm putting this thread up early this week so as many players know about this amazing challenge as possible.

It's been running a fortnight, is increasing in popularity and is quite simply, too good not to give at least one go.

All you've got to do is record the biggest profit in a single timed tournament between 7pm till midnight on Thursday night.

That's it!

It's a really fun challenge and you can give it as many goes as you want.

The prize for the player who beats the rest that night?

A free seat into the following week's £15K Sky Sports Bounty Hunter!

Here's what you'll need to do on the night-

Cut and paste proof on to this thread that you cashed in a timed tournament during those 5 hours and then calculate your Return On Investment (ROI) below- like this:

Machka705011£17.62
£400 Gtd 30 mins

Buy-in £5.50

Prize- £17.62

Profit= £12.12  (£17.62 - £5.50)

divided by the buy-in (£5.50)

= 2.20

 multiplied by 100 to give a percentage

= 220%

So, it doesn't matter how low the buy-in is, or how long the timed tournament goes on for, because t's all about the ROI baby!

You can keep recording scores all night. I'll just take the single best individual result from all entries as the winner at midnight.

Last week PokerTrev nicked in the dying moments of the night with a very tasty 379%. (Not as good as my 558% that evening, but I can't enter my own competition, can I? All I can do is chirp about it. And chirp I will...)

So, do you think you have what it takes to be the champion of timed tournaments this Thursday night?

I'll see you on this thread and we'll find out!

So tonight, I played a £11 buy in and won £109
How would that work?

Lambert180

Buy in = £11

Prize = £109

Profit = £98

Divided by the buyin (£11) = 8.909

Multiplied by 100 = 890%

Pretty tasty, shame it aint thursday lol.

Well this is one rallied Trev, I should be able to join ya.

It's been a while since I've played the DTD which is really frustrating but I've been playing on a laptop that literally lags really bad with just 2 tables, so 3 tables would kill it. Should be back up and running on my other laptop soon though and taking it down for TPT. Also I plan on taking down SPT Brighton lol.

RICHORFORD

Thanks Paul and Trev- yep- rally the troops- if we get lots of poeple posting scores throughout the nightit should be a lot of fun!

And Big Bluster- that's a remarkable score- if you can repeat that on Thurs the prize will almost certainly be yours!

My best was £57 from a £5.50 timed tourney. Might have a little go tonight. I assume the best ROI will come from a smaller buy-in tourney as there will be more players willing to go crazy due to this challenge. The players in the higher buy-in ones will concentrate on the profit first and foremost and the competition is a nice bonus afterwards. I'll be trying to go crazy in a few small ones and see if I can luckbox my way to a big result. Best of luck to the Timed Tourney demons, I hope to take your cash!lol. Best wishes.

Good effort, Trev.

That's the marker then, as they say in darts.

I'm around 10 minutes from completing my first game- currently 5th out of 41 and on for a MASSIVE roi if I can hold on  ;-)

Unfortunately, I'm not eligible to enter my own comp- but I just don't want you all thinking I'm on autopilot tonight. I mean business!
