$4/180 Challenge / Benefit for Mrs. Vig

[Ontario_Tory]

For those of you that don't follow BBV, take a look at THIS LINK.

Long story short, a fellow 2+2er is in quite a bind, and is looking for help. So I'd like to help them out through tonight's challenge.

20% of the prize pool is going to the Mrs. Vig Fund. I'm also giving Vig a freeroll to play in the challenge tonight.

Additionally, I'm going to pledge 20% of anything that I win tonight. (Based on recent performance, it's not much of an offer...)

I realize it's not much - we are micro-limit donks after all - but in this type of a situation, every little-bit helps.


Details:

When: Tuesday, Janary 23 @ 8:00pm EST

All members must register for the next FOUR 4/180s on PokerStars AFTER 8:00pmEST (20:00 Server time). If a tournament has less than 20 regged at 20:00 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 toRy, not toNy... be sure I'm in Toronto before sending.)

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.

20% off the top is going to the Mrs. Vig Fund

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%

So who's in?


Still Text Based Wall Of Fame:

January 2, 2007 - Blindcurve - 54 Points
January 9, 2007 - mypc8mymoney - 66 Points

Tory this is a very nice thing you are doing. I agree that every little bit helps. So If I can play tonight (not 100% sure yet) I would like to donated 50% of anything I win. Again like you with the way things are going won't be much but you never know maybe I get lucky

[Valsuvious]

I'm in tonight as usual.

Depending on how things go I'll help out if I can.

[Vigorish]

Guys, just saw the thread. We really appreciate it! I'll be playing also.

[Eggpie]

I'll be in (as long as i'm back before the start)

Its great when a community of people, who (in general) haven't even met each other can rally around when someone has a problem [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Nice of you to organise it O_T

I'll be in tonight if:
1] I can escape the planned trip to the grocery store.
2] I decide that I'm out of "U suck at poker" mode.

And in the unlikely event that I take down the pool, I'll kick in another 30% for a total of 50% to the cause.

You can never have too much good karma floating around.

I don't know now if I'll be able to play tonight, as suddenly my plans have changed. It's up in the air, so I'll probably not be able to know until it's near that time tonight.

geez val - at least in the past you're honest in your posts and say "I don't know if my GF will let me"...

We all know what "my plans may have changed" means... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
