$4/180 Challenge - Tonight @ 7:30 EST
 

When: Tuesday, October 10th @ 7:30pm EST
All members must register for the next FOUR 4/180s on PokerStars AFTER 7:30pmEST (19:30 Server time). If a tournament has less than 20 regged at 7:30 then that tournament will be the first one. I will post in this thread when we are starting.

Cost: Please send $10 to Ontario_Tory on Stars. (That's Ontario_toRy, not toNy... Make sure I'm in Toronto before sending the cash...)

Scoring: Same as last week:

Missed tourney = 0 points
180-150th = 0 points
149-120th = 0.5 points
119-100th = 1 point
99-80th = 2 points
79-60th = 3 points
59-40th = 4 points
39-30th = 5 points
29-20th = 7 points
19th = 9 points
18-15th = 10 points
14-10th = 12 points
9th = 15 points
8th = 17 points
7th = 19 points
6th = 21 points
5th = 24 points
4th = 27 points
3rd = 30 points
2nd = 35 points
1st = 40 points

Wins and final 3's are HUGE in this stucture. Tie breakers go as follows.

1st tiebreak - Total Monies Won
2nd tiebreak - Highest Finish
3rd tiebreak - 2nd Highest Finish

If tied after that it is chopped

Payout structure is the same as last week - notice it's a bit different than the 20/180 challenge - a bit flatter.

Payouts: Less than 10 = 1st-100%, 10-19 = 1st-80%, 2nd 20%, 20-29 = 1st-60%, 2nd-30%, 3rd-10%, 30+ = 1st-50%, 2nd-%25, 3rd-%15, 4th-%10

I'm not 100% sure if I'm playing this week, but I can definitely manage the $$ and post updates every little while... So who's in?

Re: $4/180 Challenge - Tonight @ 7:30 EST
 

SlyJeff- I'll send money after work.

Re: $4/180 Challenge - Tonight @ 7:30 EST
 

Same name. Week #2 for me, I got like 4th-5th or something last week after Nimda owned me KK > AQs.

Money coming later Tory.

Re: $4/180 Challenge - Tonight @ 7:30 EST
 

I will probably start playing this soon. Maybe next week or the week after that. I want to take all your guys' money:).

No, Party Poker isn't kicking US clients out for like another 270 days or so, and PS hasn't decided what it's going to do yet. If PS stops its US players from playing it's not going to be for a little while.

Oh. Great news! Me = retard for not knowing this.

I just know that by next Tuesday you U.S. guys will still be playing on PS. I may not be correct on anything else I said though.

[/ QUOTE ]Awe, come on. You know you want to play tonight. This is WAY too much fun to pass up if you can play- plus I won't be playing next week. My company is having a "casino night" for my department. It was my suggestion to the social comittie so I can't very well not attend! Plus, I'll have too much fun owning my cow-orkers at fake-money Texas Hold Em.

So if you want a piece of me, gotta do it tonight [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: $4/180 Challenge - Tonight @ 7:30 EST
 

i'll probably play, and i'm going to try not to finish 19th in 2 out 4 tourneys like i did last week...

Have you seen the episode of "The Office" when they have casino night? It's funny as hell.

[/ QUOTE ]No, don't watch it. The show is too painful for me (too close to home) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Kind of puts a dampening on my spirits after watching "Earl".

Might have to check that one out, though.

Actually I thinks we should make a rule if anyone goes out in 19th in all four, he will win the challenge automatically. I might have a shot of winning then. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]LOL- I could see someone busting out 3/4 and then owning the bubble play in #4 and going to the FT as the huge chip leader.

Re: $4/180 Challenge - Tonight @ 7:30 EST
 

The Office is my all time favorite show and the Casino Night episode is arguably the best. You sort of have to know the plot to fully appreciate it, though.

Haha yeah that's probably what would happen. I can picture someomne trying their best to get that 4th bubble bustout playing like a maniac and winning every hand and get really pissed.

Hey, no-go for me tonight.

Sorry

Re: $4/180 Challenge - Tonight @ 7:30 EST
 

This is ontario_tory's father. Power is out, hopefully will be back before 7:30. If not, he will post the list of runners when power comes back on. Please start without him.

Re: $4/180 Challenge - Tonight @ 7:30 EST
 

I have an excel spread sheet from the 20/180 last week (I kept score). I can keep it tonight since OT's power is out. If everyone could just post their SN in here, I will get going on it.

Also, if you've sent your money to OT, would you post it so I can mark that you are in for sure?!

Only 6 playing?! Come on guys - let's get this nice and big for larger prizes and LOTS of fun!!

Is it ok if I keep score for OT while he is out?

You're missing my buy-in.

I just assume that you'll post a near final list at around 7:27 or something.
