Inspired recently by one of the threads(yout85) and by some negative responses to my recent posts here, I have decided to present my self in a bit better light to this community and present you a challenge that I decided to take this month and give you chance to earn a little price from me. Starting now, I am about to win $500 this month, in freerolls only.
The rules are simple - guess the total sum.
I am giving away 20%. The closest one to the exact sum that I earn, will get 10%, followed by 5%, 3% and 2%. This is regardless of my success, i.e you will get it even if I don't make it. The only condition, to be eligible for the prize, is to be within $50 (25$+/-) range of my final winnings,e.g if I make 250, you will need to be somewhere in 225-275 range.
Hopefully, this will be around 100 $ in prices in total. Prices from leaderboard/leagues prizes are included in challenge. For a self-motivation reasons I am counting as a start up last nights two winnings on PM ($10 and $7.5, so i need to make $482.5 more). In addition, for calculating purposes and to be fair to myself, I will add both BRM FT leaderboard (predicted, potential) prizes, if any, as they appear on October 31st, divided by 3 (it is a three-month leaderboard), although BRM FT is not going to be finished by then (PS will be).
I will be playing on three sites - PS, FT and PM. Challenge is mostly targeting (but is not limited) to BRM freerolls. Current league/ leaderboard points or my tournament results you can always doublecheck on any poker tracking site or in appropriate leaderboard sites, including BRM. That's it. Looking forward for your predictions in the next three days (Sunday midnight is deadline), when I will post first result, followed by posts on daily basis.
Guesses are more than welcome, whatever they might be. cheers - just take my money and guess!!!
P.S. I forgot - MonoPolygamy is nick - all three rooms.

interesting challange, your right about your recent post, but i started out negitive and then went positive. i'll take a shot, hmmmm,m , first a question, how many freerolls are you able to play each day. for example , i work, so i can only play a couple of brm freerolls.

I really wonder how do you expect to reach the 500$ in a single month, if you are mainly targeting BRM freerolls. Have you seen the payouts? There is no chance of even getting the half of it with BRM only.

Forgot to wish you good luck , so good luck
Tnx for GL. I said I would be playing BRM, but not only... there are some promotions on PM, then I expect few bucks from PS League, 5$ each day on FT etc. Ok, take a guess - something like 198? Thats less than half

As I said, this challenge is inspired by some recent events.... and I was thinking more and more about staking, so I know it is huge task, but in a way it is first step towards presenting my play and simply to see for myself where am I with discipline and in general with MTTs. Not to be confused, I am aware that it is completely different kind of play than with buyins, but it can show few things about discipline and commitment.
------------ Just to mention, I will be calculating T$ and cash game tickets, mainly from FT. I guess that's fair.

This challenge is certainly 'do-able' as long as the variation in selected games added to a huge quantity is managed. There are some great value freerolls around at the moment so as long as chosen and played wisely can result in substantial outcomes. Good luck!

$500/Mth from Freerolls? Seems pretty optimistic, then again - I don't play them so I wouldn't really know.. But I know a lot of micro/small stakes players who don't even make that amount.
Out of curiosity, is $500 based on passed performance? Or just a figure you'd like to earn?
