I think a lot of you have read the $250 to $25,000 bankroll challenge undertaken by Flangel...now there's been a fair amount of people saying "No problem" and about the same saying "No chance" so I thought I'd up the ante a little (if you'll pardon the pun).
From now until the 3rd October, you can post in this thread Simply "Yes" or "No".
When the challenge ends I will run a $1000 freeroll for either the "Yes's" or the "No's" depending on the outcome of the challenge...
So think carefully and place your bets!!!
Cheers, John

when will the challenge comes to an end ??? you are not saying a single word about a time limit of his challenge !!! he can play for months or even longer to get his target or to lose the 250 $ after some months ... i know that it is possible to realize this , a lot of players did it before but i would like to have some more info about a deadline or something like that .

From the main thread about the challenge.
Posted by dlkiv: is there a time limit on this???
Good luck to you Flangel
We set a provisional limit of 3 months on this but as there's no 'nosebleed' stakes it migh be a little tough so it's not a firm limit.
Posted by umarplus: the 3 month should be made firm to have a fair competition here, dont you think?
Sure...in reference to this event the it's a firm 3 months!
I really respect Flangel, but in 3 months I think he won't do it.
I also agree, in 3 months, probably he'll be between $4000 and $9000 if everything is going right but not $25k... much more time is needed to complete this task at BigBetPoker... doable maybe at Full Tilt or PokerStars.

NO
i know it has been done before by some pros. i my self made $500 out of $50 in 8hours (im rather average or lets say decent player), but then again droped down to $250 or been a whole week break even. 3 months too short for playin abc poker - you gotta gamble hard imo. i agree with calmplay...5-10K i do say.
