Default 6 max Goodness (Forum Challenge)

I haven't played 6 max on Party in quite some time - just THREE sessions since September, in fact.

After all the recent talk about the fish at Party, plus me being on a nasty MTT slide, I decided to give the $5/10 game a whirl tonight for old time's sake. Man... these players are as bad as ever, aren't they? I finished the session down a bit, but I can tell this is still a goldmine.

I have to say though, I really love the pace of this game, especially when I'm multitabling (I only played 2 tables tonight).

So I was thinking... I should do some sort of experiment with this. Maybe I should pound this game for a set time or certain number of hands and see how I do. Better yet - maybe a friendly forum challenge for the likes of pshabi (my little protege) and anyone else interested in playing. I "usually" play 10/20 and 15/30 now (not that I've played many cash games in the past few months at all), but I have no problem dropping back to 5/10 for a little bankroll rebuilding, and especially if we can make some sort of friendly competition out of it.

What do you this, pshabi (and anyone else)? Maybe we could each log 5000 hands (or whatever number we decide on) and see who wins the most (or loses the least!)....

We could put 50 bucks (a whopping 5 BBs) on it to make things more interesting. Or we could just do it for fun. It matters not to me.

If no one is interested, no worries - I'll finish up that 100 Heads Up Matches thing I started months ago and then forgot about 70some matches into it... I just feel like I need to focus on something to get me playing more again.

I am also playing 5-10 6 max. I'm down for the challenge, even though I know I am a huge underdog here. How about we start Feb 1st, play 5000 hands from then on and see who is the best from that? I am sucking, but it will be nice to know I can come to you guys with some burning questions.

I really want to learn how to play Limit 5/10 and up is a horrible place to start. But I'll try to read up on Limit, play some lower stuff and get feedback from u guys, and maybe i could Try and get in on this challenge. Either way im going to learn limit.

I'm down for whatever. Are we looking for a mano y mano contest, or is there some way to format it for a group?

I'd recommend searching this forum, if you are interested in 6 max. There is actually better content in here that I have seen in any poker book, quite frankly. Search on "6 max" maybe or "shorthanded" - I'm not sure. I know shabi has posted a number of HHs that have generated good discussion.

Either way. If Mayhem wants in, he's in.

The more people we can convert to this goldmine, the happier everyone will be. Not to mention all the future 6 max discussion it could generate...

BTW - how funn will it be when I'm DOWN after 5000 hands? That could certainly happen, of course, but I'm targetting a $1500 profit.

Yeah, no way dude. PT screenshots filtered from 2/1 (as Mayhem suggested) on... Your head start = practice!

Heh.

I'm willing to pony up a little side action for this. How about you guys? $20? $50? $100?

Right now, it looks like we have the following:
TP
pshabi
Mayhem
JD

Anyone else? Let's get this squared away by Tuesday and we'll kick off at midnight on Wednesday.

And for the record, this is $5/10 6 max LIMIT Hold Em. Not just any $5/10 game.

first day went well , I won at 2/4, 3/6, and then won some at 5/10 - so i might be able to join in.
It is very frustrating to me so far tho - but i really want to learn how to get better at it.

I'm thinking 5000 hands under your belt will do the body good.

And Boobie - you should play too. This is your game, right? Or do you play full ring?

I don't care if we don't put an entry fee on this... just thought it would be more fun. I'm looking forward t oseeing the daily PT screenshots.

My last venture into 5/10 6 max I got kicked in the junk pretty severely. I've went back to full ring for a while. I might return though.

Plus, I have to transfer some money into Firepay to get into Party. If variance kicks my ass again, it might be a while before I can get money into Party.

Just had a real good run 4 tabling 5/10... U can count me in for sure - so much easier to multi table than NL.

Ok, so let's get this is writing:

Beginning on February 1st at midnight, we are going to be playing 5000 hands of $5/$10 6 max Limit Hold'Em at Party (or wherever, I guess). Unless someone objects, I say we each pony up a friendly but still significant $50 (that's 5 BBs - I will do more if you all want to). Whoever makes the most money over his 5000 hands (all of 5/10 6 max) is the winner and gets $50 from each of the other contestants.

Sounds good to me. We'll use Poker Tracker screenshots to post our results. It would be fun to keep a scoreboard, but noting matters until hand #5000.

Sounds good?

Semi-Confirmed List (I want to make sure the $50 is cool with everyone):
TP
JD
pshabi
Mayhem

Boobie - Are you guys in? How about the bdawg? You wanna play? Anyone else?

If you guys don't like the $50, speak up. I'll do it for $100 or I'd do it for $0. Doesn't matter to me.

Do you use ? If not, you should. That's the best way to keep records and track your play.... not to mention to find leaks in your game. ESPECIALLY for limit play.

Hey... one more rule I just though of...

If, after 5000 hands, anyone is DOWN money, they get their $50 back. No need to add insult to injury! I want to keep this friendly.

Intriguing....

Some questions:

1. Any deadlines on when you'd need to complete 5000 hands?
2. Any "surrender" if for instance after 2500 hands you're down more than you're comfortable with and wish to quit? (I know, loser-ish question right there. Let's just say I'm asking on the behalf of others

It's funny, but I was just thinking about a foray into limit hold 'em again. I have the bankroll for 5/10 and was thinking I just might give it a try. This could be, as Nigel Tufnel likes to say, that "push over the cliff" that gets me to do it.
