DOHH's 2.20 @ 2.20 Charity Challenge.- CONTINUES TODAY!!!!

DOHHHHHHH

Here's the deal folks. 

After a year of highs and lows for myself at the poker tables, In summary I reflect on the year as abit of a waste.

I've had a great opportunity to kick on and develop my poker game, and although I've made a very healthy profit in all disciplines of the game, it's nowhere near what I could, and what I feel I should be making.

I've stood still, been a total bankroll nit, grinding the games I know I can win with my eyes closed, instead of challenging myself to go 1 better and improve my game, my attitude, commitment and most importantly the amount of money I win.

So my goal in 2011, is to play and/or study poker for at least 40 hours a week, currently I probably play 15 hours if that, and half of those are messing about in forum games etc. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To help me focus, I'm gonna offer a challenge to all the regulars in the 2.20 @ 2.20 deepstack game. Many of them don't use the forum. I challenge you all to take part in a week of 2.20 games, with points awarded according to finishing position, and the leader at the end of Fridays game will be crowned the champion.

The winner of the competition will name their charity, and each participant will donate £5 (or whatever they can afford) to the charity of the winners choice.

In addition to this, each day there will be a £10 bounty on my head, whoever knocks me out in each tournament can also name a charity, which I will personally donate £10 to. So thats £50 of DOHHHHHH's cash in the kitty already.

The games will start on the first Monday of the new year. I understand people will be back at work and stuff, but there are normally enough regs that play it most days.

If I get at least 1 challenger, that's enough to run the competition.

(hopefully it will remind Lucy that poker is fun, and persuade her out of retirement, if only for 1 week) and I'm pretty sure that wacko, don, donkeyplopper will be up for it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought of this challenge as I feel to take poker 100% seriously, I need to get into a routine, like people do in any other job. I need to have a time to "start work" with no excuses. So as I see the clock moving to 2pm, I know it's time to switch Jeremy Kyle off, and get the laptop out and load 4 tables (maybe more when I get my new 1

2011 is gonna be a "make or break" year for me, I hope plenty of you fancy joining me to get it off to a fun and hopefully profitable start !!!!

Post here if you are interested, and tell your mates at the tables

Mr Dohhhhhhh,
         I think this is a gerat idea,i will try to play as many of these as i can.Also if i only manage to play a couple i will still donate £20 to the winners charity.
         I know you would like someone to be able to play all 5 days but at the end of the day as long as the charity is the winner it dosent really matter. As you said im sure there are enough players on here who can play every day so good luck with your challenge.
                                                  Regards   Mick .

DOHHHHHHH

Hey all, thanx for the interest....

Theres still a few days before the start, so if anyone has any ideas as to how it can become more accessible to everyone, then fire away.

Maybe we could run it over 7 days, Mon - Sun......and the best 4 scores of any 1 player will win?

Maybe we could allow partners to enter? - So if you yourself are available to play Mon Wed Fri, and a mate of yours can play Sat and Sun, you can make a double, which will give you 5 scores to count towards the final league standings.

I'm happy to play all 7, and obviously take the competition down

Spread the word at the 2.20 deepy tables this week if you can 

xxxxxxxxxxx

steveskin1

Monday - Friday with best 4 counting?

just a suggestion.

chew07

Monday 2 Sunday with the best 4 scores counting sounds a good idea to me, it gives everyone a fair shot at it even if they have to miss a couple of games .

N1 lucky,now on a personal note will you pm me another site you play on and in the new year i will sign up to it and then pm you back with my alias,all the best debs xxx

ps dav says hi as well

Norbit

Sounds like a good idea, and for a good cause.

 I've had a huge break from poker, so this will help ease back into things. Won't be in them all but a fair few.

DTWBANDIT

    Excellent idea JJ count me in

DOHHHHHHH

Great to see people interested.

I think It will be best to offer a possible 7 games, Mon - Sun, with the best 4 scores counting. You don't even have to play 4, you can play 2 games, win them both, and win it in styleeeeeeeeee.

I will probably only make 6, as even DOHHHHH's need sundays off to watch eastenders. 

So that will be 6 £10 bounties, so AT LEAST 6 charities will benefit. 

If anyone wants to change the format at all, please speak up, and make sure you spread the word at the tables over the next few days.

Lets remember there's only 2 winners here, myself, and charity, so plz give generously.
