Ladies and Gents... it has been a while, so it's time for another challenge. (plus it seems to have gotten a little boring here)
So on Saturday 3rd February, starting at 12 midday UK time, I will register in all micro - regular, knockout, time and win the button tournaments on PokerStars until 11:59am on Sunday 4th February... meaning I will play every available tournament for a full 24 hour period.
I'm not sure exactly how many tournaments that will be, but I'll check it out this Saturday to see.
I will be streaming the whole thing on my Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/yout85 and will be handing out a prize of $50 to the person who is closest to guessing how up or down I will be at the end.
To be eligible to win, all you need to do is have an active PokerStars account, and post your guess on this thread along with your Stars screenname.
I expect there to be around $500 of buy ins altogether if that helps with your guesses.

Wow! 24 hours straight? It's not going to be easy! My first, and probably last endurance challenge was completing the 24 hours Nürburgring endurance race in Gran Turismo 5 on PlayStation3. It was so difficult to keep my motivation high for an entire 24 hours. Good luck guessing, mobsters!

What the hell of a challenge!!! I wouldn't be able even to do a 6 hours straight challenge. My guess is a $88 profit for this session but hope it sill be way more than that.

That is going to be more of an endurance race if you ask me. Playing straight for 24hrs poker. Something that i could never do. Anyway, you must be enjoying doing this, which is the most important thing, plus you can make some money out of it. So all the best, with many final tables.

I will be playing a total of 257 tournaments, with total buy ins of $553.08. Decided to throw satellites into the mix as well so there's a chance of some higher buy in tournies to play.
Rules regarding the satellites - I will register in every tournament below $5, even if I'm playing a satellite to it. If I win a satellite for any tournament below $5, I will use the T$ to register for later tournaments. Any satellites to tournaments over $5, I will play the target tournament if I win, assuming it starts before 11:59am on the Sunday... otherwise I will unregister and the T$ would count towards my overall profit.
Keep those guesses coming in for your chance to win $50.... only had 3 guesses so far (you guys can change if you want now there is more info, completely up to you)....

I want to say that you will make a total profit of 1000 $ , as it sounds that you kinda know what are you up to , so you should know the game +/- . Wish you the best of luck and hope that you will get a lot of final tables
Good luck man with your challenge I will watch some of this on Twitch. It must be very hard to maintain your mental conditions while playing such a long time, but I really hope that you will be lucky enough to make a profit there.
