Poker Challenge:

Well i am opening a challenge set for November and open to any1 willing to challenge me in heads up sit n gos $2.20 here's the rules and info:

i am allowing any1 who has a pokerstars account or is willing to get 1 to play them on there in the $2.20 sit n go heads up game No limit Hold Em.Now starting from 1st November to 1st January i will play my opponent in a series of 100 heads up matches of No Limit Hold Em and there will be a side bet on, i have $50 on the line if i lose more than 50 games and my opponent will have $35 on the line if they lose more than 50.In the unlikely case it's 50/50 then no side bet but the i don't see this happening! here's some rules

1) Since it is my rules to keeping stats and stuff i have put more money over my opponenent and also as i am favourite to win so only fair,i will keep my opponent updated on regular basis but they will know who's ahead or not anyway
2)the only game type will be No Limit Hold Em Heads Up, NO OTHER
3)An opponent can choose to pull out but would owe the other the side bet.Example, say you have played 50 sit n gos and i have won them all well the chances of you wnning 50 r 0.1% so instead of playing me with more money in the sit n gos you drop out and just pay me $35 or vice versa
4)there is no set number to play each day, just when both players have free time.As long as we get 100 games done which should be done easily within the time bracket,plus if we play 2 games 1 day you can quit for the 3rd on that given day even if you planned to play more, that is cool
5)After 100 games or when a player quits the other player must transfer money over pokerstars or cash in hand depending on who i play and what is agreed before we start the challenge
6)Maximum time is January 1st but it could end anytime before that as long as it's before that time
7)games can get filled fast with these stakes so be ready to register quickly
8)the people who apply i will windle it down to six and choose 1 player with5 remaining back up players, note on that player must be able to play 100 games within the dates permitted.As long as they arn't away on holiday for 2 months or that it will be fine

i will explain in a minute how to apply for my poker challenge, first though i will tell you why i am doing it, there are 2 main reasons really.

Firstly i feel i have a good edge in micro stake games and was just wanting to show over the long run of 100 games i should be successful so i am willing to put more than my opponenet on the line with my guidlines in place or else hardly any1 would be interested, so i believe i can beat any micro stakes players.The reason i left open to any1 is because i still believe i have edge over higher ability players and if there interested in playing at these micro levels then fair enough and the higher stakes players won't even bother but for talking sake if they did i would still play so thats one of my reasons.My other reason is i just want to have some fun and spice things up a bit, sometimes challenges can keep you motivated and stuff and the side bet keeps you motivated in this challenge more than the money won in each game

So if you want to apply send me an email ritchie_ess@hotmail.co.uk and state your interested in my challenge and if successful i will get back to you round about 20th October
if you have my number you can contact me that way or twitter me, even if your interested but not sure about send me an email if you need more detail or that and i will try and help


So there is my poker challenge, apply if interested and willing to put the money up for it and good luck on being selected
