Hey everyone,

This morning, the Sit n Go variant, '50/50' was re-released into the sit n go lobby.

So my challenge to the people of the forum, is a FREE £11 entry into tomorrow nights (Friday) £3,000 Guaranteed Rebuy event at 9pm.

Heres the challenge....

Whoever can get the most consecutive cashes in this variant between now and 3pm tomorrow, will win the seat. The person who has the second most consecutive cashes will get a mini seat (worth £5.50) tomorrow evening!

So get playing and post your consecutive cashes on this forum thread. I will check back at 3pm tomorrow and delegate the prizes accordingly.

Also let us know how the game plays and any suggestions you may have.

Thanks and good luck :)

Joe

    Hi Joe, I have 7 in a row at the moment, just waiting on the next to load - hope I can at least end my run tonight as will be at work during the day tomorrow.

    EDIT - ok, I'm posting my score. 7. It's absolutely dead on the lobby (1am on a Thurs - go figure!), but finally a turbo game got going. All 6 of us still left in as the blinds went to 200/400 (1500 start stack!) and I threw my 1200 in with AJ UTG called off by AA. Much prefer the Speed structure although Turbo wouldn't have been too bad if everyone at the table had been a bit looser.

    GL anyone having a go.

    OK this part of the competition is now closed and the winner is bbMike whose sequence of 7 wins him a seat to the £3,000 Guaranteed Rebuy Open tonight.

    IDONKCALLU comes in second with a run of 4 and gets a mini seat for his troubles!

    The competition doesn't stop there though....

    Over the weekend, the same rules apply.....but the stakes are slightly higher!

    Whoever puts the longest sequence together from now will win a seat into the 7pm Bounty Hunter on Monday evening (seat worth £22)

    Everybody starts on zero, and post your sequences on this thread...

    Good luck everybody!

    Spread the word about 50/50's and please let us know how they play :)

    Thanks Joe - does the weekend start now? Presumably it's ok if other variants/tournaments pop up during the sequence and only 50/50s count?

    Thanks

    Yeah the challenge starts from NOW!

    Only 50/50 tournaments count, and the sequence is only on those! You can play other games inbetween your 50/50 run!

    Thanks

    Yuk was going nicely then 3 limpers to my BB, shove 1100 to pick up 400 with KcJc. Called by Q8o similar stack and you know the rest.

    So best today for me is just 3. May have some time to go again over the weekend.

    The game itself is playing well, but the competition changes the dynamic. Later stages you really want to be accumulating chips, but with the comp you're more interested in not busting a la DYM - so it gets a bit weird.

    My best so far is 4.

    Had a situation I wasn't expecting though that I'd like clarity on. 4 left. I went all-in and a shorter stack called all-in. Bigger stack got involved and won the pot. I beat the short stack and placed third. But I didn't cash.

    Description of the game says "The tournament ends when 50% of the players are left. 50% of the prizepool is then paid back equally to the players and the other 50% is paid out relative to final chipstack."

    Should 3rd place get stake back if they finish in 3rd with no chips??

    Im pretty sure i have done 4 or 5, but would be good if sky could track the results as when you are playing 2 or 3 at a time its hard to keep count when they are starting/finishing at different times

    I'm hot on your heels but there's not many in the lobby so taking ages for games to get going.
