Who wants to make a challenge with me for NL5 HU 10$ (all or nothing) plus 5$ sidebet for the winner of the game.
Rules: the fgame is in the banklrollmob players Home @stars (i am asking for the owner to make a special table HU nl5 for me) The game consist in play nl5 HU with both using 10$ bankroll and the one who bust the oponent 10$ wins. Apart of that there is 5$ sidebet for the one who wins the game, that must be payed for the looser of the match as soon as the match ends. The game end only when one of the players gwet busted.
1st round is to be played next staurday (timem to be decided by me and thwe challenger).
I might consider. But, frankly, I hate those microlimit HU games...If we play a lot of decent pots, the rake will kill us... In the end the winner might get 3 or 4 bucks So, the side bet is a good thing here. It will compensate what will be lost to rake. I'll try to simulate the game and find out what rake loss is there to expect and will let you know my decision tomorrow. If somebody accepts the challenge before I decide, go for it.

Challenge acepted.
We have 1 hour difference from Portugal to Germany. Wich time fits better for you???
schmoyster talked about rake and its true that the rake can be killing the $, but iam not sure if its good to play higher limit knowing that this is a small friendly challenge.
If anyone more wants to play it, tell to make a new schedulle.
Ps: In this challenge there is a sidebet, so i hope we are all grown and serious people and the looser send the 5$ after the game ends to the winner.
I can play anytime this saturday,but the earlier the better for me And about the rake,we can't lower the rake until like NL100,and that would really be a little high

I played some HU the outher day (not on PS) but the rake was a real killer, you would be best of doing this in a SnG style, long blinds or deep stack its up to you. Just a suggestion. A 5$ game .50 fee or risk losing a lot to rake.

I can set up you tourneys... 3,4,5 in time you like...Just say when and what...
------------ I made cash table for challenge! Name of table is Sampo IV! Just one suggestion: you should play it on number of hands not for 10$ because you already have prize pool for winer. I can also make you tourneys instead of cash (because of rake) 5 games 2$ buy in? In every 20 minutes new one begins?

Play it on hands have a big inconvenient because the site doesnt have a counter of hands, so if we forget the number of the hands its no good. My first idea was to put it with time, like 30 minutes or 1 hour, but this could get a big variance in the bankroll if we start to get too many all ins.
Thats why i decided to be 10$ untill somebody goes busto. The big problem is indeed the rake ( but iam not expecting for both to pay more than 1$ rake (2 dollars its too much of rake to pay, and i dont think it will be more). I would like to be SNG game both payng 5 or 10 but i dont like because there is a blind struture and thats not good either for a challenge.

Just decide what you want and I will make it. I cant make sng but I can make mtt with slow blind structure...
NL5 is fine,NL10 too,just depends what you prefer And also,maybe we can do it like the isildur challenge thing,just shorter of course (having a specific amount of hands OR the other one going broke). We can check the number of hands in the "stats" tab of the table.

I lost my chat previlegies since long time ago, and as soon i got them back i forcem to loose them again, so nobody knows iam tilting as hell. Yes i have been a little devil before, now iam trying to control my animal instint.
Pokerpro2202 iam ready, iam sorry i couldnty be up before.
If anyone is still interested we can schedule for tomorrow around 14:00 portuguese time.
------------ The game against pokerpro2202 is 1:1.
First time very fast, only 5 minutes and i lost. Second game around 35 minutes game i won.
If you want to make the last game feel free to say when pokerpro2202.
Ps: In this stacks the rake is discusting, we need to find other way for the game.
GGs I don't really mind the rake,since I want to reach silverstar this month I'm willing to pay a little more of it But you're right,in the 2nd game we pair about $3 of rake I think.. The only solution would be the tourney thing like someone else suggested already.

Iam honest i prefer in a cash table. I think its better than in a tournment where you have to follow the blonds rather to follow your opponent game.
I dont know what happened to me the first game but it was too fast, i think you had the lesson very well studied from the last night warm up.
Iam already silverstar but iam thinknig about loosing it this month cause i had to go down in the stacks, back to the basycs after the pain in the pain of the last month.

I have idea!!! I set up for you play money table with 2$bb and you start with 1k or 500 chips each. Who ever lose give that other guy 10$! What do you think?
So, the side bet is a good thing here. It will compensate what will be lost to rake. 
Hope you will have lot oponents
