There are all sorts of contests run all the time. There is a yearly one I am running for the Sunday Storm that we are taking late registrants for. They are enter at your own risk, so you have to trust the person that is holding for the contest. Anyone can normally enter as long as they pay the buy-in for the contest.

Sweet as, cheers for that. Yeah get the at your on risk bit as I did a few BAPs through full tilt and have been reading about a big staking dilemma down our end of the world lately. Always potential for dodgey people but guessing the fact Admins and Mods are involved is normally a good sign.

Yeah I spotted that Storm one but atm its probably a touch out of my BRM level so will pass for now but cheers anyways, will stick to these micro ones.

Is there a specific competition forum that I have missed? That would be very handy!

No specific forum, people can put up contests as they see fit in the Poker Community forum. So just be on the look-out for them. There are contests that people put up for motivation purposes and fun at the smallest and highest stakes.

Haha, sick run after yourfirst 50 games man, you woulda been looking strong if the comp was 100 cap. You might want to double check the scores I have put up for you, had to do it manually as couldn't just search your first 50. I have that last score to count was recorded on 7th Feb at 20:51, a score of $2.42 profit...nice!

Let me know if you are happy with what I have put up for you

Hey man, no worries on the hijack, thanks for chiming in. Obv registration for this one is closed, but hoping to run a month long comp (similar rules/games etc) for March, if I can get plenty of interested. You would be very welcome to join that, I will PM you with any details over the next couple of weeks to make sure you don't miss out. Edited By: JonBon-10 Feb 8th, 2012 at 10:03 PM

[RhoNin]

Is that a typo or does he really have 20 GBP profit? Coz everything else is listed in $.

On another note: just got 2nd in one, weee

Sounds tempting and cheers for that, may have a couple of mates who could be tempted as well. Suppose I should check they are on P5's first!

Haha, touh luck arthurdog, couldn't believe the amount of decent score you had in the 50 games following your first 50 since Monday, pretty annoying! Still, at least you hae some nice profit to show for the grinding over the past few days

Nice finish RhoNin, with scores updated in OP, you are out in the lead with $58 profit, nice score of $46 with a couple of games to spare!

[Matty_B]

50 is up I think. Binked one from 300 chips so we'll see how that affects things Edited By: Matty_B Feb 9th, 2012 at 09:06 PM
Reason: shipped from 300 chips

Looks like Scope has you down for playing 41, might just be taking a while to update, but still some hope for you

Shipped my 4th tourney, haha, hopefully a sign of things to come. FT'd another, but lost to a 3 outter early and donked out in 8th. Not sure how many I have played, approx 16, but will update OP once Scope is updated Edited By: JonBon-10 Feb 9th, 2012 at 09:37 PM

[SSG]

Yeah kinda nasty that I can't count to 50 :( Guess I won almost the amount of the comp by playing it so can't complain. Got me excited tho

[wackyJaxon Admin X]

I had a good week playing cash games, so didn't get motivated to play more than 6 of them. I doubt I will fire up any today, so happy to donate $20 to the cause. Congrats to whomever winds up winning and GL to all today!

[JonBon-10]

Now that the competition is closed and the OP has been updated for the final time, I am delighted to announce that our winner is...me!!! hahaha

Scored a 2nd place in my final tourney (I think at the time I needed a 3rd place to guarantee the victory, and was severly nursing my chiplead with 4 remaining at the table, would have been a pretty annoying bubble!) Should have won it heads-up as well, against some seriously terribly Portugese player who couldn't miss a flop! Didnt' think my night was heading anywhere when I busted out of 3 before I even had all of my final 10 games fired up (AA<AJ aipf in first hand of the tourney was one of the most memorable)

Thanks all for playing, I hope you enjoyed it and it gave some of you a little extra motivation to play. I would be keen to run something like this again, maybe on a slightly bigger scale, like 250 x $2.50s played over a month, maybe go for a team and individual comp if it gets the interest. Let me know your thoughts if you fancy it.

Thanks again, catch you at the tables (not you wacky, outwith my bankroll for the most part!)

[RhoNin]

sick finish, f me and congrats i guess lol
