THE ORFORD TIMED TOURNEY CHALLENGE- THIS WEEK'S WINNER: IDONKCALLU

RICHORFORD

OK, I've got a triple-whammy lined up to play while I watch Mr. Messi kick a football around. I rate him as a handy prospect by the way. You read it here first.

Anyway, I'm playing the 8.20pm, the 8.40pm and the 8.55pm. Boom!

The 8.55 is a 60 min game, which is my favourite timing and the one in which I've done best generally. So, hoping to make a mark in that one.

:-)

Awesome Poppy!

That's a really strong score and could run out as the winner tonight. 

Haven't cashed in 3 games now since my good start. About to start my joker card though- the 60 minuter at 8.55pm...

3 hours to go!

291% to be precise. Pretty good, but no cigar. Soz mate.

RICHORFORD

Right- I'm in my last one.

The 15 minuter starting at 11.40pm.

That's the last one you can enter now to qualify, we're still including any that have yet to finish, including the one that finishes just after midnight at 12.05.

At around 12.10 I'll annnounce the winner.

Looks like poppy765 unless someone can sneak in something over 478% at the death!

RICHORFORD

OK, I've finished on a high note- cashing in the 11.40 game 

RICHORFORD

1875

£9.37

So with a £5.50 buy-in that's an ROI of 70%. Not exciting, but an ROI nonetheless.

Right, I'll hang fire for about 10 minutes for you to post any late scores and then announce this week's winner!

ajmilton

Just as a matter interest Rich, does the lowest +roi get free entry to mini event.

just asking, as past winner of the comp (cough cough)

Lol. I'm feeling your pain from here, Alan.

Bad night at the office? Well, at least you've won this thing before. 

See you next week and thanks for always playing this comp, mate.

RICHORFORD

Ok, I'm calling it...

This week's winner, with a very respectable 478% is

poppy765

Well done Poppy. Check the tourney lobby tomorrow, you'll have been entered into the 8pm main event free-of-charge. Good luck in it, hope you cash!

Thanks to Trev as ever for his marvellous stat work, and thanks to all who played this week.

Same again next week? Why not, eh?

Hi Rich- thanks for the free entry, I managed to get a few bounties which was nice.
I guess as it was free then calculating the ROI would tear a hole in the fabric of the universe.
Cheers!

Great stuff, poppy. Glad you made some cash out of it.

Who's next then?

This week's challenge...is ON!

RICHORFORD

Hi all,

Psst! Wanna easy shot at landing a seat into Thursday night's night's main event?

Listen up!

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

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 tonight?

A free seat into Thursday night's 12K Sky Sports Bounty Hunter! (which we'll be covering on the live Sky Poker TV show)

Here's what you'll need to do-

As soon as you've cashed in a timed tourney tonight- cut and paste proof on to this thread 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 only the ROI is important!

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 time poppy765 took the honours with a really decent score of 478%. 

NOW WE WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN AGAIN THIS WEEK. SO FROM 7PM, THE FIRST PERSON TO POST AN ROI OF, SAY 1%, WOULD BE LEADING.

You should post even if it's only a small ROI because you never know how many people will enter and, as a result, if you're lowly score might turn out to be the best one.

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

Only one way to find out!

I'll be on the site from 7pm myself playing timed tourneys and Mastercash tables till midnight.

See you there and good luck!

PS- Can anyone beat my record of 1226%? Yes, I posted that a while ago and I think it's a website record. Beat it, if you can!

RICHORFORD

Yes, this week's challenge is tonight.

Monday April 23rd.

See Opening Post or the Post above for all the details.

Who's up for it?
