Hi Cript,

Profitable as in total amount in $$$. The scope of the competition will be NL $0.05/0.10 so that everyone has a chance of playing.

escrow? sorry but I dont understand that word - I will transfer the money to the poker platform you request, if you are 1 of the winners Smile

If you have any other question please let me know.

Best regards,
Tuk

blah730235 this is not spam! You are seing my posts on other forums because that is the way Ive decided to promote this competition... true that ive been banned from 2+2 but thats because those guys simple dont allow anything outside their own promotions or banners...

Escrow is a legal arrangement in which an asset is deposited into safekeeping under the trust of a neutral third party pending satisfaction of contractual contingency or condition.

Hi Bullajami,

The 10000 will have to be played between 8th of September and 8th of October i.e. during the time the competition will be running.

If you have any other question please let me know.

Best regards,

The 10000 hands will have to be played in one go. If within the period of time of the competition you play 200K hands then of course you will be able to pick the best 10000 sequential hands.

How will you know? For example, I played 5 tables last night. Absolutely crushed two of them, broke even on two and then got slaughtered on one. What if I just turn in my two good table sessions? How would you know?

I like the concept of a grinder contest, but how can you be sure its fair? Seems like it could get rigged somewhat easily. Have you got the angle shooters accounted for?

What if I edit my hand histories to ensure that I have some massive wins?

What is this, the moderator trolling thread?

If it is, what if I chip dump to Bullajami and split all profits. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't pay $80 in rake over 10k hands at 0.05/0.10. Would that count?
