Stealing a page from the TW and DN front I am opening myself up to all challenges within the following format. Hopefully this will make me a better all around player by facing various opposition in different games as well as perhaps opening up new games to challengers who beat me and have to face a rematch in more foreign territory than they are used to playing.

1. Contest will take place on Poker Stars or in some cases FTP, UB, Paradise or Pokerroom.

2. If the challenger loses the match they have the option of requesting a rematch in same or different game.

3. If I lose the match I have the option of requesting a rematch in the game of my choice. Game to be announced at least 4 hours before it takes place if not immediately after first match.

4. The challenger can set the price of the match from 10-50.00. The rematch if taken will be of the same price.

5. Any interested takers can PM me or just place the challenge here with blocks of time that they can play.

6. You should have accounts set up at all 5 sites in case the rematch goes to one of them.

7. Transference of money will take place after fulfillment of the rematch if the rematch is taken.

8. For the games where no HU tables are available (Razz, A-5, 2-7 draws, Pine Apple and 5 card draw) do not autopost antes in case someone hops into the game.

9. Time and date of rematch can be set for another time other than right after previous match but within 10 days of first match.

Possible game choices and set up.

Alright piers you asked for it, not me!

For lack of a more worthy opponent coming forward, i challenge you! I think you have a decent line on my play, but i also thinki i know what you think about what im thinking, so what itll come downto is whether or not youll think that i know that you think that you know what i think when you think that i think what i think that i think that you know about the way i play.

Side bets anyone?

I'll play you in every one of em. I guess I'm playing the role of Barry Greenstein here.

Very nice two worthy opponents to start the ball rolling. So what game would you like to play MK, 7 stud h/l or something else? Let me know when you would like to play and what stakes.

Xaston since you want to play them all let's say the loser of one particular type game has the option to request an immediate rematch in said game or proceed to the next game following this or at a later time/date. Settlement of payment at the conclusion of the totallity of the possible 28 matches. A clean sweep (1400.00) at the max limit.

I greatly look forward to the competition as I believe both parties will gain from the experience. Good luck.

I've added Chinese Poker to the list as a true renaissance poker player can't leave that game out. As I added this after the previous list you are obviously eligible to decline this game Xaston.

I have tweaked a few of the buy ins up a little bit after some practice with a few guys. I pretty much took one cat out in 6 hands when he had 1.50 at the PLO table so I figured upping it a little would provide more play and a reasonable chance that the outcome was not luck driven on a couple of hands.

I have no idea how to play Chinese Poker at all. Certainly if you point me in the direction of directions I'll play you in it for very little, why not?

Give me a time, game and your stake choice. For Xaston since we are going to play all the games I think we should decide on one set stake across the border at whatever you decide from the 10-50 range.

You know what I do with haters like you Kuso? I just brush ya'll off.

Piers all I do is watch TV, read this forum, and play online. Therefor, I ask you to pick times because it's probably harder for you to find time for the challenges than it is for me. One match every day or every other perhaps? $50? It's gotta sting a little when I lose, so I think $50 is best.

You should look in the middle of the page on right hand side you will see it listed. I think I will choose that game first as I need a change of pace from flop games.

10:30 EST Chinese Poker, 10 point game. 500 points is game.

My user name at Poker room is DagnyTag

Anyone wanting to attend welcome. Chinese poker has 4 seats so if a couple of people show up to close the seats down that would be nice. See you there Xas, good luck.

Edit: 11:30 now, I am still here if you are up.
