? for CCers

Ok, so Lately I've been in this mood to want to actually spice things up for myself, and I was thinking "Well Abdi, (Abdi's my real name BTW), what's a good challenge to actually do to make you think better of your-self (Poker wise)....

So I was going over acouple of Online pros names when Annette 15 came up into the mix...Fair enough, but then I was like you know, it could've just been a fluke, it could've been a Promotional Advertisement, An attention seeker, lol...That's when I got the crazy Idea I actually want to do this challenge...Yet here's the twist between her and I, I don't want to actually just win it once, twice, I need it to be more then 1 time ..Now thinking more about the Challenge (Br Wise I'll put my personal goal of 0-W/E on hold untill this one challenge is either proven to be do able or not), lol...

But I actually wanted to make a video proven that I accomplished it....Which leads me to my next question, I know this challenge is actually do able on Carbon because there software actually enables a person to actually have his whole cards hidden from him/her, but the same is not plausible on Poker-Stars and Full-Tilt, so I was wondering if you all could Direct me to program which allows a person to do this...

Secondly anyone can say they did such and such, but without actually proof (Sorry Annette), I for one am a skeptic, so now I would also need to learn how to actually make a video or if Possible was wondering if you all can just direct me to a site to actually be able to make a video...

Thx all

Pretty sure all you need is a post-it note, not software. Stick it over the spot on the screen where your hole cards are shown and viola, you're playing blind. 99% sure this is what Annette Obrestad did when she won that tournament blind.

I'm no expert on videos but I'm pretty sure there's been a few threads on here over the years telling people how to make them if you do a quick search.

Ok here's the the right! If I were to put a not on top of my lap-top, (Then how do you CCers Know) that I'm not lying? You see, that's where my concern really lies, it's not like I'd be taking bets into weather I accomplish this or not, but If I were to accomplish it, I sure as hell would let everyone know I did it

Step 1: Put post it note over hole cards on screen (like Oz said)
Step 2: Get a video camera or webcam and record your screen
Step 3: Spend hundreds of hours trying to win a 180 person SNG
Step 4: Make video of you saying you quit
Step 5: Upload video to CC (instructions are in here... http://www.cardschat.com/f53/guide-h...ictures-86301/ (http://www.cardschat.com/f53/guide-how-make-video-lots-pictures-86301/)

I'll give you credit for not doing another stupid $0 to $XXXXX challenge though.

LOL, well atleast I got some Credit points for something ...

I like the "Make a video of you saying you quit part"... Very Inspirational...

She did admit to looking at her cards once, though:

Same way the know that you didnt alter the video in post production.. they dont know.. they just have to trust you.

We'd have to trust you. Or like smd says you could use screencap software for the game and then put another camera or webcam over your shoulder to prove you never moved the post-it note. You could use that as your commentary track and put it in the bottom corner of the main video when you edit it all together.

Just please don't film the entire thing with a camera in front of your screen. Videos of screens are horrible to watch

When all is said and done, the trust issue comes back to you regardless of the opinion of others. This challenge should ultimately be one for yourself first, and sharing with others second.

If you do this straight and don't cheat that should be reward enough. Some people will believe you; others won't, even if you have a video. I can just hear them now "Vids can be edited, yada yada...". But you'll know the truth.

I'm just cynical when it comes to challenges.

I hope you can do it, that'd be awesome.

I actually watched the playback of her doing the 180 person SNG a while back. I think it was on pokerxfactor or something like that. It's not actual video of her, just a replay of her hand history. If you are serious about doing this, you should try to find that and analyze it. It's pretty interesting. You'll also see that she gets her money in bad as like a 35-65 dog about 4 times and survives.

That's why ultimately it'll be really hard for you to do, because she almost didn't do it herself.
