The month is just 5 hours old and I'm already down 13k€. Sweet! (NOT!)
Anyway, can't ruin the mood for my birthfay in a few weeks so I've decided to chill and play 5/10 and lower for the rest of the month since it's easier on my fragile soul. Unfortunatly high stakes are tempting!
Basically another on of those "catch me play higher and I give to charity" thingys. So; the rules:
- If anyone catches me playing higher then 5/10€ NL or PLO for the rest of this month I'll give 10.000 SEK [~1k€) to a charity picked by the first guy who posts about it here or on my blog in Swedish (linked a few posts back).
Additional rules:
- Anyone who wants to claim this must be able to provide proof in form of a screen shot or something similar.
- The incident must involved playing for at least a small number of hands. Happening to sit down at the wrong table and autopost blinds won't count unless I actually keep playing for such a number of hands that I noticed or should have noticed what table I'm sitting on.
- The bet/offer/whatever you want to call it is null and void (ie: I can play higher again) 00:00 april first (Swedish time, GMT+1), or if I post a sceensshot from HEM proving that I've made 20k € since posting this playing lower stakes cash game, rakeback excluded.
- I can cancel or change this bet at any time if someone finds some way to abuse it; however, if at least 3 somewhat regarded LP-ers and/or friends (ie: guy who knows me, talk to me semi-regulary, anyone who has been active in the community for a decent amount of time without being to much of a douche etc) claims that I'm a bitch for invoking this, I'll still have to give 1k€ to charity. "Bitch-rule"
- The Charity has to be somewhat organized, something that won't get my asset frozen (ie: not Hamas...), easy to give money to and not something that makes me feel to bad about helping. I'd be nice about it, but nothing to damn weird/against the principles of "live and let live" (obviously fuzzy lines, but if you can make a decent case for it I'll probably be ok with it.)

whilst its very sweet to give the 1k to charity, theres not really an incentive for people to railbird you, since those that do these things are generally busto and have ample time to rail in the hopes of scoring some sweet loot to fire off at the tables. |

Number of hands should probably be defined to avoid grey areas. :D

yea well, I guess we could say 10 + (1.5*the number of tables I play) or 5 hands after a pot bigger then a regular raise + cbet as a guideline. Obviously I won't try to edge out of this since that would defeat the whole purpose (public humiliation and a "punishment" if I play higher) but considering how I play a big number of stakes and not really table selecting on 6-max tables much there has to be something that keeps me from getting crap for just sitting by mistake.

true, but I'm doing this mostly so that it'll get enough attention that I'll feel that I can't really play higher even if I would later decide that "my edge is big enough" or whatever since my "pride" is probably bigger then my tilt issues. And this way is easier then sending a mail ever evening to my father telling him how I did and what stakes I played (I did that last year when I decided to play 30k hands of 2/4 or something just because I hate telling him that I fail stuff).
The equity I'm giving up of this is probably not more then maybe 50€ or so, since I've never failed one of these before, and basically payment for giving me shit if someone happens to see me fuck up. |
