The charity: Undisclosed
The result: Challenge CRUSHED
Charity: 1 Challenge: 0
The rules and guidelines:
- The challenge will start with $27.59.
- The challenge will start on 4/14/2010
- The challenge will be completed on 12/31/2010
- I cannot deposit any money into the account.
- I will follow guidelines regarding the games that I can buy into (this isn't really a rule for this challenge, but guidelines I follow at all times when I play cards...so they apply here):
- In a cash game or ten person sit-and-go (SNG) tournament, I can only buy in for up to 5% of the total amount of my bankroll (bankroll = the total amount of money in the account...for the non-gamblers out there)
- In a multi-table tournament (MTT) I can only buy in to a game that costs 2% of my total bankroll.
- I'm allowed to qualify for bigger games than these limits through other games.
- At the end of the challenge (Dec 31, 2010) $2500 will be taken out of the account and donated to the selected charity. If I hit the $5000 mark, the remaining $2500 will be used to fund a second charity poker challenge that I have planned for later this year or next year.
