    Challenge: I just went to bump a seat open 5/10 thread

    Well I hadn't checked it

    I notice I am not well liked around these parts, neither is bobby.

    I'm thinking a tag team leaderboard challenge.

    February-November (notice month schedule)

    Bobby's + my total vs 2 others.

    Well i do not play as much as most so I would like someone with the same averages. I expect bobby to finish near top of leaderboard so someone that will be up there as well for your "A" captain. Then someone like me to finish it off in the group B section. (someone to finish outside the top leaderboard on sbrpoker.com)

    Hell if we could do 3 vs 3 I'd do that too as long as everyone involved is trustworthy to send.

    This isn't cleared with bobby either and he might not agree to it

    lets get a discussion about it

    also, seat open at 5/10

    Interesting idea rudy....hard to keep a level playing field though when number of tourneys played is such a large factor in scoring. These challenges only work when contestants have about same number of tourneys played.

    Also, you're doing yourself a huge disservice lumping yourself in the same category as bobbo...unlike him, you're a good poker player, capable of winning outside of a freeroll/massive overlay environment as well as cash games. Plus I doubt bobbo would be up for this; he spent a good part of last year telling us it was too much effort for him to post 2 screenshots and accept DS' various challenges, and he's still ducking DS

    I may have to dust off the old retired jersey and start playing at least semi regularly again.

    somewhere around 10 or so. Don't recall because there were about 8 guys within 200 points at the end. When I went back to look to see where I ended, it was the 2015 board.

    I didn't respond, as I'm not interested in challenges I can't fully control & be responsible for. I obviously can't control how much Rudy drinks & decides to play or not. So it would be throwing pts away against the suggested team that:

    A) Plays every day
    B) Both on 2014 leaderboard.

    i was over 21k pts last year. i clearly said someone not on the 2014 leaderboard. i dont have time in the summer to play every day like you.

    obviously im not going to challenge someone that can play everyday. im not as dumb as po69

    im confident not many better than me at amt won/tourney played in 2014

    You're a very good player Rudy, I wasn't suggesting otherwise.

    I'm simply not interested, for reasons previously stated.

    You probably didn't miss it, but bobbo's kind of an idiot...his reasoning is almost always fundamentally flawed.

    If mpasch and jake are down, I'd team up with you vs them for shits and giggles with a modification: after the end of the qualification period, you and I play jake and mpasch heads up ring; starting stacks proportional to amount of points won no rebuys, winning team takes all (in event heads up matches go 1-1, winners play for tiebreaker). 5 drink minimum optional, but highly encouraged

    Thoughts rudy, jake, mpas?

    I don't think we play enough to compete against them

    I wonder if we could somehow have a 100 tourney challenge.

    we check in a certain day (maybe send 1 point back n forth to acknowledge playing that day) to say ok this day counts for stats.

    after 100 events we see where the finish is?

    seems like extra work though

    I just just don't think we will be close to them in tourneys, esp during summer for me, that's when I usually have to skip a few days or week(s)

    not interested in the cash game part..I know my strengths and weaknesses and I'm not a very good cash game player, you and Rudy are much better than me.

    Probably in the same boat as Jake here...not a great cash player. Don't want to take 10 months of work and let it ride on one sitting.

    So everyone is against my idea of 100 games per player?

    (the first 100 they play, and only tourneys during a series counts because I think there will be less people and not as good play when no series is happening)

    what if we also add a capping portion of 100 picks with just 1unit bets?

    I'm down for this too rudy (poker, without the betting); with jake and mpas, i'd trust em (hard to monitor otherwise without a lot more work). What do you think gents? Format ok for everyone? Stakes?
