Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat!
 

Well this contest started with 9 brave souls and pulling into the final gate we have a race for first betwene ZBThorton, and LearnedFromTV with Bestcellar and myself, WPThero within striking distance with an incredible day. The bar is set to 2766.58 from ZBT with LearnedFromTV having another spot to fill in his top 20. If you feel like sweating them their screen names on Stars are:
LearnedFromTV - Entropy_xx
ZBThorton - ZBThorton1

I will also be marathonning these to try to swoop in a steal the glory from these two chaps and my screen name is WPThero. I will be starting a March 180/20 thread later tonight as well, same contest, different month. Goodluck all, $225 to the winner and lots of pride!

I e-mailed Stars and asked them for my SNG history for this month and realized I began a 180 man at 11:54 EST the last day in January that I finished 5th in...lol

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

I only have 2039 points from my top 20. I am not extremely happy with my results from this month. My best finishes were 2,2,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,13,13,16,16,18,,19,19,19,2 0,20.

It is absolutley unreal how many times I busted out in the 20-35 range. About half of my finishes are over 35. To be honest, I think that I started going on 180 man tilt at some point this month. Once it gets down to about 30 people left, I either would take a bad beat, or make some moronic steal attempt or horrible play that would get picked off (like restealing with J5o or something). I think I would basically go on tilt when it got closer to the money. I honestly think that I just played too many of these things (about 100). That is a LOT for me in a month. I think I tried too hard at times, instead of just relaxing and playing my normal game. Or, I would not try hard enough, because it seemed like there was always another one going anyway. Oh well, lesson learned. I need to remained focused at all times.

Last night, I got around the money with about 10K or more in chips 3 times, and I bubbled in all 3 of them. In one of them, I was in 4th place, had been playing really well, and then just lost focus for a second and busted.

I need to calm down when I go far, and take it down. I am pretty sure that I can do better than this. We'll have to see in March!

Anyway, I need to do some work today, so I won't be able to play for a little while, unless I slack off which is entirely possible. Barring some unbeleivable night (that I know isn't even possible), I am out of this competition. It's been fun, and good luck to everyone!

Edit: BTW, I am not complaining or trying to make excuses here. I didn't do horribly. At least I made money doing this (although not much)! But, I know I can do better, and I was just sort of typing out my frustrations with myself. So, thanks for listening.

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

OK, I can't resist. Who am I kidding about doing work right now. I have no self control. Must play another set of these! All I need to do is get 3 1sts or so and I am golden (LOL). Maybe I'll see some of you at the tables!


PS - Every time I post in one of these 180 man threads, the thread dies.

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

Jurollo, just saw you get sucked out, Q9 vs. AQ...i was playing in that tournament earlier and went out in the 60's. was one of the chip leaders and decided to push my JJ when I was re-raised. Went against QQ and didnt improve.

I was calling for the T after the guy his K...i think you owe me a % of your profits since without me it would have never come [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

I crapped the bed this month but I'm gonna try to marathon my way through anyway. If I can land 5 or so firsts, I'll be right back in this.

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

whats this contest?

I just started playing these...what a great tourney for little BR risk. I have a conveyor belt of em going alongside my MTT's.

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

Top 20 TLB scores for you for the month count. Highest total TLB score wins.

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

I may be interested in doing this in March. I cant play as many as you guys but I will do what I can.

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

I can't do this in March - I'm gone to Florida for 9 of the last 13 days of the month. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I still think a yearly challenge is in order - top 150 scores.

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

start it during the summer and i'd be in

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

I just had my first 180th-place finish. AK < QQ. It was pretty funny. I must have that rebuy residue stuck to my 180-mans.

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

Oh well...my last ditch effort produced a 13th!!! Yipee. Well, I lost this challenge. I can't play anymore tonight. GL to all who remain. See you in March I guess...

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat!
 

I'm in my first of the night, will play every one between now and midnight EST.

Did ZBT win the one he posted about in the other thread?

Edit: never mind I see that was from late last night/early this morning.

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

2249.68 Now. 5th and 11th.
~Justin

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat!
 

For those following, entering tonight, ZBT has 2766 having filled 20 and with 18,18,19,19 as his worst results. I have 2713, have filled 19, and have 23, 24, 27, 27 as my worst four.

This is how we match up on top 16-top 19 results.

Top 19 = LFT 2713, ZBT 2695
Top 18 = LFT 2653, ZBT 2624
Top 17 = LFT 2594, ZBT 2551
Top 16 = LFT 2531, ZBT 2479.

In other words, it's god damn close.

Re: Final Day of Feb 180/20 Challenge - Post Results - Final Day Sweat
 

here's another suggestion for the next 20/180 challenge: a month is way too short - too much variance and you have to play balls to the wall every day to have a chance.

Conversely, a year seems like too much of a commitment.

What if we made it a spring challenge and went from March 1st through May 31st and used top 50 results? Easier to manage variance and I think that we wouldn't necessarily have to be as psycho trying to fill these in a short amount of time. What say you guys?

Honestly, a quarter would be better, April, May, and June. Tomorrow is March 1 so I don't know if Justin can get it ready in time. Who knows? I'd be in if I had $3k to throw into these. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Don't have my score tallied yet but it is not going to be in contention (unless I get several firsts tonight). I will get my scores together and get the points added up.

Does anyone have an excel macro handy to lookup the TLB points for each finish? I am pulling the data from PT with an external data query in excel but don't have a TLB point lookup.

Just use the formula 309.44/(H2)^0.5, where H2 is the cell with your finish.
