Default Re: parameters of the match

"We will play between the hours of 9:30-4:30 EST Monday through Friday until the match is completed."

I rarely play long sessions HU over 2 hours, and this isnt exactly a big time frame. I realize that you are a family man(or that the computer lab closes in your retirement home closes), so it would be a big help if you could extend these hours or include weekends.

I would also like to play more then one table at a time. I know that you claimed that you would do this after you got comfortable HU, but it has been alluded to that you have been playing HU often on UB already. If you are unwilling to play more then one table immediately, then I would like regulataions on when you begin to play more tables.

I will be in Thailand, a twelve hour difference, and I rarely sleep during the night, so I should be around during the hours you are awake. However, with only a seven hour time frame, and my fluctuating sleep schedules, it is going to be likely that at some point I will be sleeping through 50%+ of our "playing hours".

All of this is really giving me a headache, and seems pretty unimportant for these stakes. If we were playing for $100K, it would be different. It seems like it would be alot easier for me to say "I am susha_da on UB. If you want to play, come and play" and let that be the end of it.

What kind of schedule(# of tables and session length) are you planning on playing with?

I have a 30 hour flight starting Monday morning EST.

KKF, I would prefer to play continuously from 9:30-4:30. However, if you are unwilling or unable to accomodate that (very understandable given your location), I am willing to shorten the hours to any of your choosing. However, my wife works a "normal" job and my ten-month old son is in day care. It is impossible for me to play evenings or weekends because (a) my son requires constant attention at this age; and (b) that is the time that I spend with my family.

So although I understand your request to extend the playing hours to evenings and weekends, I would hope that you understand that I cannot do that. That being said, I am willing to accomodate any playing schedule that you choose as long as it falls within the timeframe that I presented.

About playing multiple tables, I fully expect that I will be able and willing to play two tables. However, I would like to get in the flow of the match before commiting to this. You say that you would like some regulations placed on this: do you have anything that you would like to propose?
