    This week's winner, with a very respectable 478% is




    Well done Poppy. Check the tourney lobby tomorrow, you'll have been entered into the 8pm main event free-of-charge. Good luck in it, hope you cash!

    Thanks to Trev as ever for his marvellous stat work, and thanks to all who played this week.

    Same again next week? Why not, eh?

    Hi Rich- thanks for the free entry, I managed to get a few bounties which was nice.
    I guess as it was free then calculating the ROI would tear a hole in the fabric of the universe.
    Cheers!

    Great stuff, poppy. Glad you made some cash out of it.

    Who's next then?

    This week's challenge...is ON!

    Hi all,

    Psst! Wanna easy shot at landing a seat into Thursday night's night's main event?

    Listen up!

    All you've got to do is record the biggest profit in a single timed tournament between 7pm till midnight tonight.

    That's it!

    It's a really fun challenge and you can give it as many goes as you want.

    The prize for the player who beats the rest tonight?

    A free seat into Thursday night's 12K Sky Sports Bounty Hunter! (which we'll be covering on the live Sky Poker TV show)

    Here's what you'll need to do-

    As soon as you've cashed in a timed tourney tonight- cut and paste proof on to this thread and then calculate your Return On Investment (ROI) below- like this:

    Machka705011£17.62
    £400 Gtd 30 mins

    Buy-in £5.50

    Prize- £17.62

    Profit= £12.12  (£17.62 - £5.50)

    divided by the buy-in (£5.50)

    = 2.20


     multiplied by 100 to give a percentage

    = 220%

    So, it doesn't matter how low the buy-in is, or how long the timed tournament goes on for, because only the ROI is important!

    You can keep recording scores all night. I'll just take the single best individual result from all entries as the winner at midnight.

    Last time poppy765 took the honours with a really decent score of 478%

    NOW WE WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN AGAIN THIS WEEK. SO FROM 7PM, THE FIRST PERSON TO POST AN ROI OF, SAY 1%, WOULD BE LEADING.

    You should post even if it's only a small ROI because you never know how many people will enter and, as a result, if you're lowly score might turn out to be the best one.

    So, do you think you have what it takes to be the champion of timed tournaments?

    Only one way to find out!

    I'll be on the site from 7pm myself playing timed tourneys and Mastercash tables till midnight.

    See you there and good luck!

    PS- Can anyone beat my record of 1226%? Yes, I posted that a while ago and I think it's a website record. Beat it, if you can!

    Allcomers are welcome. Join in at any time between 7pm and midnight tonight!

    Good luck everyone in it so far.

    Remember, if you're reading this thread for the first time, you can  join in at any time between now and midnight. Play any timed tourney and post your ROI if you cash.

    Easy!

    Ok, 1 for 1

    Cashed in my first timed tourney tonight

    RICHORFORD460023£6.91

    It was a £3.30 tourney so the ROI on that is 109%

    Over to you guys!

    Result for the 7.05 game

    Kiwini4u5537.5014£8.30

    Buy in £3.30

    Profit £5.00 (£8.30 - £3.30)

    ROI = 151.51 (5.00/3.30 x 100)

    Edit: Out of the 7.25 game, never really got into my stride in this one for some reason.  Now onto the 8.20 game

    23 Apr '12 at 18:07Poker£200 Gtd (30 mins)£8.93
    £3.30 buy in, I won £12.23 which is £8.93 profit.

    I actually had Richorford on my table.The money and ROI are irrelevant. It's like being at an Elvis concert and being asked how much your ticket was? WHO CARES ORFORD IS HERE!

    Tonight ladies and gents I sat at the same table as the legendary Richard Orford for me that's enough...I will never wash my mouse again.


    Ps i shall now use my £8.93 to buy a calculator to calculate what my ROI is and a small glass container in which to store my ORFORDMOUSE.

     Snorky (easily impressed)

    Pretty much the same story so far for me, Steve. Reasonable cash in the first- 2nd didn't happen for me and now awaiting the 8.20.

    You are leading the competition!

    4 hours left though- is there anybody from the Monday night crowd to challenge our early leader?
