The Tax Man Cometh (i.e., how much do you owe me)

Hey folks. Seeing as how I appear to be set for my three bets, I thought I'd save MHG the trouble of tallying and do it myself. Sure, 50% of the reason is I wanna get paid, but the other half is the fact that if I were MHG, the last thing I'd want to do is tally how much everyone owes the winnah.

My bets were:

$10 for % bankroll increase
$5 for biggest cash
$5 for Slayer of Donkeys

Payouts should be as follows:

MHG - $7
Blaargh! - $20
BWOP - $10
Dr. Chako - $20
Kat - $15
Aposec - $12
Shawn - $10
Heffmike - $25

You can verify the bets HERE. I did not include any bets for which I was not a part.

Payment can be made on FullTilt to HighOnPoker or on PokerStars to HighOnPokr (no E). If you want to arrange for alternative payments, please email me. Sexual favors in lieu of payment is only offered to the girls and MHG.*

On a related note, would anyone be interested in a new Heads-Up Challenge? Depending on the amount of players, it may be a round-robin tournament or a bracket tournament. This is all hypothetical until we have enough players and can settle on a "buy-in". If you are interested, feel free to leave a comment or email me (highonpokr AT yahoo DOT communist). I would like to do a buy-in of $20, ideally, but I'm open to suggestion. Start time for this challenge is likely no sooner than two weeks from today. I'll need some time to organize the brackets and get the money, which must be paid in advance of the challenge (I will pay out the winners directly).

Until next time, good game!

*By accepting this offer, you also agree that any venereal diseases or embryos obtained through the alternative payment system is the sole responsibility of the payor. After any such sexual embrace, the payor agrees not to fall in love with, stalk, or communicate with the payee, HighOnPoker. All sexual favors are subject to Germs and Positions.

Dr. Chako's results

Well, I did much better this challenge than the last one, but not good enough. Basically I made enough to pay off my props.


% Bankroll Increase: 53.8% ($151.20/98.33)
Largest Score: $36.00
Slayer of Donkeys: 5.5% (1/18)

At least I had an entry for the Bad Beat.

Edit - I had 2 entries. This one was truly bad and I was actually in this hand.

Awesomeness of FAIL

I think it is safe to say I am nowhere near contention for the roll gain, or the big money win.

Best finish was my Daily Dollar play at 3% and change.

Meh.

It's over?

I've played very little poker as real life has been proving to be much more interesting than sitting in front of Full Tilt. Frankly, I have fallen so out of sync with poker, that reading a book called "Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology" is actually more enticing.

Here's hoping the February Blahs end soon. And yes, I am aware that it is now March.

So let's just assume that I've lost all bets because I'm sure that I have. So sure that it's not even worth going to get a screen shot.

Who do I owe what to?

blaargh. (the sound, as well as the name)

Didn't get a chance to try for a hail mary, only played the mook on wed, otherwise, been working non-stop.... so.... enjoy. I'll try to post the sickening graphs and charts later, but lets just assume I've lost every bet. At least I'm not negative this time, though I feel like I am after a high of 3700.... yeesh.

Having said that, it's been fun playing with you all, see ya at the north american summer challenge!

(oh, and FUCK YOU RUSH POKER!!!!!!!)

pfft.

Ok, well, I did at least run positive for the challenge.


Couple of 90-man SnG wins finally righted the ship, but I should have done so much better than this. Just tell me what to ship where once all the side bets are settled.

% Bankroll Increase: 17% ($3839.31/3271.27)
Largest Score: $999.00
Slayer of Donkeys %: 1.11% (1/90)

I Retire

The first few days of this challenge were great. I was cashing fairly deep in tournaments, making money, loving life. Then Rush Poker came. The smallest limit wasn't low enough to play with proper bankroll management, but I played anyways. It seemed like every blogger was winning big money, so I felt compelled to play. I lost. Then lost some more.

I created a spreadsheet for this challenge (which you'll have to click to read):



Date played, type of poker/buy-in, how many hands I played, win/loss, notes, and finally a 1-10 self-rating of my play. Undisciplined play and distractions place all the blame squarely on my shoulders for the loss in bankroll.

I was hoping this challenge would turn me into a stone-cold killer on the virtual felt. Instead, I've realized that I'm not cut out for it. I played a lot of home games over the past two months and I've cashed nearly every time while having a blast with friends. When I've played online over the past two months I have usually been wishing I was outside doing something else. I also didn't play a few tournaments because I wanted to be available should something more fun come along.

Looking forward to seeing others' results roll in over the next few days. I completely forgot about posting this until I saw Jordo's crappy post.

I should have all the side bets tabulated by the end of the week, assuming you all post some screen shots!
