FEB CHALLENGE TO ALL PLAYERS

OK here is how it works.

The next time you WIN a sit and go, keep your buy in and free-roll.

IE $3 10 player tourney on Stars. Win nets $15, keep the buy-in and use the rest for the next one, use the TOTAL winning for the next S&G.

So based on the above example you be playing an $11 s&G win that and youll be playing a $50 one..............

Lets see how we do, remember your playing for free if you have the correct mindset, ill give $10 to the best result, post your screenshots BTW, thats if you can take me down folks

Sweet, do we start at the lowest buy in? and does it have to be stars?

I'm starting out right now at a $10 SNG. Hope that's ok. If not, I'll start over at the $3. I love this idea btw.

Nope, if you want to play a 10c sit and go and build it up, then fine by me, i really dont care about the site either.

I kinda feel that we have a better chance at this than winning a huge MTT. Your fresher, more alert and can take it in stages. But you have a point.

Lets CAP the first buy-in at $10, single table tourneys only

Great Idea Tenbob, So do we post 1 screenshot at a time or all at once?

Well $2.50 + $.50. Got first place = $12.50, so I need to find a $9.50 buy in, HAHAHAHa I think they have a $8 one.

O.K. I played in the $8 +.80 Sit-n-go. Came in 3rd. So I won $32, so 32-8.8= $23.20 for my next sit-n-go. So I'll play in a $20, but not tonight, its midnight gotta go to sleep!

Great idea TB (*cough* very similar to Gigabet).

Moved to the Poker General section.

Nice idea - certainly worth a go although currently on a burn-up on the cash tables.

Well done on the gains Sammy, ok im gonna give this a shot........... Bring on the next win. And im going to do this challenge on Omaha Hi/Lo

My oh My! This is awesome. I played in a $20+$2 s-n-g this morning using my winnings from the previous games and look what happened. As most of you know I only play small stakes poker. $2-$5 buy in maximum. This was my first ever $20 s-n-go. I was suprised at the level of play at this $20 sit-n-go as it was not very good. I made it to the top 2 fairly easy. Thanks Tenbob for starting this, I am rockin. I'm not sure If I'm going to continue or just use my (new found gold) back at my lower limits. They have a $30+ $3 there but I only netted $28 on that one. They have a $25 + $2.50 but I'ts P/L.

I am very happy!!!! Tenbob, thanks for this thread.

Then my connection literally died for the night, on the $10 sit and so when we were 3 handed i was getting 1 minute of connection 2 mins of no- connection. I lost a few large blinds and that was the end of that.

However.... initially buy-in $3

Winnings from frist game = $15-$3 buy in = $12
Winning from second game = $18-$10 buy-in = $8
TOTAL = $20

So hopefully my connection will be able to handle a bigger sit and go this evening (if not im gonna play live) or else ill give it a go over the weekend, still a long way to go to catch you Sammy

Sammy mate, correct me if i'm wrong, but did i not tell you this MONTHS ago!?

Good Idea now if i could just win a sng lol. See everybod at the tables

I have won a couple of SNG's and I cant figure out how to get a screen shot. can anyone help me out please? And by the way i think this is a awsome idea tenbob. It can really put your skills to a test to see how consistent you are and you get to play better players as you go along.

Download Screen Grab Pro (or Screenhunter) freeware, which is pretty simple to use (for examples check my numerous tourney win screenshots!).

ill be sure to give this a try. It sounds like someone here will do really well

Thank you robwhufc. I have downloaded Screen Grab Pro but I havnt used it yet. I was wondering how people got thier sreen shots. Thanks again.

No problem mate, just be sure to click on the scale in the top right corner and leave me positive reputation!

Your humility is so refreshing, Rob.

ps if you wanna add that manny character to your buddy list i think it'd be a good idea

...So... who won?

Forgot about this

I think Sammy takes it down though, ill check through the thread later on and see if im correct.

Screen shots are simple enough,
IF you are using **'Windows'**......
Clear the visuals of anything not worth showing, enhance the size of the screen you want by enlarging it (square next to the redX)
Then find Print Screen on keyboard and hit the key.
Then go to programs, then accessories. then paint.
Open the Paint Program and go to 'Edit' on the toolbar at the top.
Bring the menu down and click 'Paste' and Pronto!! use the paint tools to circle / highlight the point of interest.
Then the rest is on CC 'Insert Image' (mountains and sun square)
**No extra download required**

Hope this is helpful..

I like these 'Side bet' challenges. They seem really fun and a good way to entice players to..
1.) Step-Up
2.) Play Well
3.) Try un-tested waters
4.) Prove yourself
5.) Make a Bankroll increase
6.) Break out of the fear of losing
7.) Realize that all Levels have bad players
8.) Increase Your Self-Confidence
9.) Motivation to Go-for-it when the usual stakes are 'stale'

and the Top 10 list from wazoo, louisiana..

10.) Because it is a Great IDEA!

Great idea, Ill give it a shot tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

think this thread is like really really really old.

Oh i see.
Why the hell do people keep bumping such old threads?!
