Is it 10K hands starting now? also are you limiting the stakes? cause someone playing $5-10 tables would have an edge over players at 25c-50c. Or are you going by BB=100hands ratio?

Im limiting to NL $0.05/0.10. I know that maybe this will be a little bit tedious for medium/expert players but its to give a chance to beginners. Of course medium/pro players could see it as a challenge!
The 10000 hands will be counting as of the starting date of the competition and that is on the 8th of September.

Hope you still wanna join!

Best regards,
Tuk

This seems like an advertisement to me. I see on your blog site you do poker transfers. This kind of solicitation is not allowed here at rakeback.

Bye,

Of course this will be a little bit to low for pros but look at it as a challenge

Lol, $80 for playing 10,000 micro stakes hands, i pay that much in rake each hour. A challenge? lol, time is money my friend so no thanks. I already have a challenge, make as much money as possible each day playing as high a stakes as my bankroll will comfortably allow.

Well I normally play $25c-50c and I split tables last night. Recorded 2K hands on 5c-10c. I made $42 at the micro level of 5c-10c. Most retarted poker I ever played. I sat down and watched them play for a bit and just laughed... YOu know how I made my money? I waited till I had 1 of 4 hands AA,KK,QQ,AK If I had that I pushed all in and ya know what. I almost always had atleast 2-3 callers with J10 or KJ or 66 or some mid range hand like that. I could not believe how retarted these players were. They thought I was blufffing every time. Never caught on. So funny. Well I know if I ever Fall outy a window and hit my head and become retarted I know I have a place I can still make $50 a day. LMAO Will keep you posted if I ever get around to playing a few K more at that level. maybe I will 2 table some during the daily doubles.

UTG+2 wins with two pairs, aces and tens (Ad Ah)

If you have the time I would love to receive your feedback either here or you could leave a comment on my blog.

Please note that the competition started on the 8th of September and will be running for 1 month. During that period you can register at any time through my blog as long as you are able to play and present your 10000 hands in the end.

If you like the concept you might want to help me and share this idea with your friends
Thats it for today I hope on my next update to be back on the green light!

Best regards,
Tuk
