Allright we'll all place our posts in here. This might have to get broken up or cleaned up we'll see... Whoever is "participating" in the challenge please PM me just so we can get an idea who's actually doing this.For all of those that have already begun this, Just have your first post update your statistics and results so far, and maybe the day you started, or a rough estimate so people know where you are coming from.Well... let the fun begin. :D

Allright, This isn't an entire day yet just 600+ hands from 2 hours this morning. I've literally spent about an hour on the phone with Eurobet over the last week, all because of an underscore it comes to find out! So they call me as I was getting ready to hit the sack (5:30 am). Well they fixed it... I can throw my money on.I decided I'd start with $500, I threw $400 in and I get $100 after 1k raked hands. I could start with more so I could jump from .5/1 to 1/2 faster but... I think I'm going to 4 table .5/1 for a while. If I'm busy I can knock it down to 2 and then 1/2... I'll stay near the 300bb for one table as well.So here we go! Talk about a lovely first session....I'll blog and I saved 3 hand numbers I'll post on here as well, its just that its been 40 hours since I've slept and well I am tired.675 Hands played - 6:40 - 8:40 AM - 4 Tabling EurobetVp%IP - 9.48PF Raise % - 4.74Won % At SD % - 58.33BB/100 - 3.23Thats not even a lie. yeah 675 hands is nothing, but a boring nothing! Anyways I grinded it ou and came out averaging 3.23 bb/100 after 2 hours... Now I just gotta do it for a long while longer.I won't go into detail about the hands I'll post, hopefully this is just a 3 hour nap and I'll be back and ready to clear the rest of the bonus.The blog will be updated tonight as well with all of this.

Please tell me this VP$IP is unusually low. Even when running very poorly I'm not sure if I've ever had a VP$IP this low for a period of 675 hands. If this is normal, why are you so tight? I thought a "reasonable" VP$IP is somewhere in the range of 16-20%?Regardless, the numbers look profitable so if it's working I can't knock it too much can I?Can't wait for the handsZara

Man it was a very slow day to say the least, I had a VP$IP of 11% on UB after 4k Hands!I stick to the SSHE Pre-Flop Tight Chart, if I run 24% or 10% depends on the cards, I can almost guarantee it'll be 16-17% by the end of this thing.

In that case, all I can say is OUCH. Good lord it must be boring to fold that much :D 16-17% is definitely far more reasonable and what I would expectZaraP.S. You got 4,000 hands in one day? How many tables and how long were you playing?

No the 4k hands was while I was bonus clearing UB's 200, It took me 4500 hands to clear it...and I had 11% VP$IP after that many hands. It was disgusting.

Well I shouldn't be the only one using this sticky! Anyone who's got a blog update in here whenever you've posted your 5k race results in the blog. I just posted my day 3 results.
