You may have already posted this,if so then apologies,Do you think you can put up some statistics from your challenge when you get the chance,such as games played,ROI,etc.Maybe you are in bed all today!! From the previous thread it looks like you hit quite a few final tables so maybe in your next challenge what do you think about playing fewer of the lowest of the stakes and maybe doing all the tournaments in the next price bracket? Is there any reason why you did not accept any deals?Were you just going for the win or too busy? Well done,great forum thread and challenge and you have also made crash very happy.
Congratulation to the both of you! yout85 for succeeding with your challenge crash58 not only for your best guess but also for keeping the information running whilst he was at it

I'll put some stats up soon... Like results by tourney type, that kind of thing...
There was a very simple reason why I didn't accept any deals... I didn't see any being made. I had the info tab on pretty much the whole time, as when a table pops up, I had around 1 second to see what game it was, see the situation of the tourney, see my cards, then decide on a move. All thinking had to be automatic... and therefore I think I struggled in games I'm not overly familiar with, such as courchevel and badugi.
I think throwing the other game types in, only served to make it a harder challenge (which was what I wanted) but wasn't a good idea in terms of profit making. The extra effort in playing multiple game types cost me I think when it came to the hold'em tournies. Also, there were a few times when I played 2-7 on a draw table, stud on razz and thought badugi cards were omaha cards... Was fine at the start, but after 20 plus hours it really started to get to me.
Next time, back to one game type for sure.... Hold'em, obviously.
...I'm still in bed as I'm writing this - it was really tiring stuff. I'm tempted to play the Sunday Storm, but I don't know if I'll be up for it... I'll see.

I look forward to seeing your stats,it will be interesting to see if you made any profit from the non hold em games,I really don't know how you managed to play so many varieties of game without going crazy.
