Booked 15 shares for magatt. That just leaves 30 left to go before we can start. I can pick up the extra shares myself if need be, but will wait a few more days to see if we can get more people interested, and then go from there.

Okay, I'm gunna let this thread run until friday, and if we don't pique any more interest, I'll either run it with the BI we have, or consider post-poning and shipping funds depending on what everyone wants.
I have no problem running this at 70 or even 50 BI, as I'm confident it'll be profitable, but I'll go with whatever the investors decide.

Hi retribution, I understand you may be a decent poker player, and this is a great idea, but you treat some brm members like crap, regardless of them begging or asking for stakes dosent give you the right or power to unleash all your hate on them!, you should go see a shrink . you dont deserve any presents from santa this year or next, wouldent give ya a red cent
Too bad there isn't anymore interest atm...good either way here. Would prefer to see you play it out though. Think most ppl are waiting to see how it all shakes out and it's the holiday season so money is probably tight this time of year...understandable.

Yes Reti is a big meanie...on the other hand he has apologized and am thinking here he may be mellowing these days...everyone deserves a second chance.

I'd also like to see how you will do in the steps, regardless of the starting capital .. So if there's no prob. with other stakers you will start the challenge on friday? I just hope we'll get someone to buy a couple of shares more..

Posted by magatt966: Reading the SS I count 80 BAPs bought/reserved (not considering Fcumred): maybe Fakiry ones are not confirmed?
Yeah, I haven't got it counting shares I haven't been shipped funds on. I haven't seen him posting here since then, so I'm not sure if he hasn't been around, or just lost interest. I'll do a final update on friday when we start rolling.
------------ Okay, so any last minute entries aside, I'm going to start this once I receive funds from magatt. That will put us at 78 BI to run with:
40 from me 20 from magatt 3 from zeroster 10 from rbdf 5 from dj
Since fak expresses interest, I'll hold his 2 shares in faith, so even if I start the run, I'll still accept his 2 shares. Anyone else, once the BAP is started, shares will be locked in and no more sold.
Once magatt ships it, I'll post a final screeny showing our starting balance etc, just so everyone can see it's all the way it should be.
------------ hmm, edit buttons gone. I want to clear it up, with FAK we'd have 80, without him we'll run at 78.
------------ Okay, one last update. Total shares sold is 22, magatt took 22. So like I said previously, we WILL still hold faks 2 in faith, so if he comes through we'll run with 82, if not we'll run with 80.
Final total is 80 shares sold @ 264. If you notice the SS only shows 262.85, but I have a step 1 ticket, so I'm counting that was 1 of my shares, so the total is 261.70 + 3.30 (ticket) = 264. This leaves about an extra dollar something left over, which I'll just throw into the profit pool.
On that note, shares are officially locked in. Will start my run either tomorrow, or saturday. Would like to start tonight, but had a long day of xmas shopping with gf, so I'm wiped lol.
I will see if I can make my google drive public access, so people can see all my hands if they so choose. If not, I will just post regular updates and interesting HH etc.
Posting screeny of my balance etc.
------------ One last update. The way I'll run, is I'll spend the entire roll playing step 1's. Once the roll is all in tickets, I'll start using the tickets for step 2. Once all the step 1's are gone, I'll play the step 2's and run until they are all gone. Once the step 1's and 2's are all used, I'll play out the matrix tourneys.

Okay, first run in, will update SS. I came across a SLIGHT problem and I hope it's not a big deal. My first set of around 4 didn't track because my HH weren't being saved, so when FT's tracker updates, I will just post a screeny and manually enter them in. All the info will be there, so it won't be lost, just wanted to advise everyone ahead of time.
Also, I will do my best to enter every result on the SS, but It's impossible to do while multi-tabling, so I'll do it after my sessions so there will be a short delay between when I post here, and when the SS updates.
Will be doing another session in a little bit here, so will update once I'm done for the day.
------------ Okay, first days run, 21 Tourneys in, and we're off to a good start as we're already in the black.
Would have played more, but they're loading a little on the slow side today and got other obligations today. Will put in some more volume later tonight or possibly tomorrow.
So like I said, my tracker missed the first 4 tourneys, but I've attached 2 screenies, 1 showing my HEM and 1 showing FT's tourney tracker.
------------ *Edit* shares went up around 8 cents each so far
------------ *Edit 2* oh, btw, it's double points for the next week on FT, so we may get a few extra tickets to play with as well if things go well
------------ *Edit again* Ran another 5 tourneys. Going to make sure I do at least 25 a day at the MINIMUM, so I can make silver again and get some RB added to this mofo.
Won another Step 2.
