this is for limit hold 'em. you get $50.00 free for the challenge and $15 is the gaming clubs standard offer. go to www.internetopencahllenge.com here are the rules: This is an extract from Jason's rules post (with credit to Mike Haven) from early November (with edits as noted) "As was mentioned before this is a self-paced, honor bound, educational endeavor. To make sure that everyone is on the same page there are a few rules that everyone is expected to follow: … The game is Limit Hold'em, but it is the player's decision to choose between full-ring, shorthanded, or heads-up tables. No tournaments. You will begin with a $50 bankroll that you will keep separate from your regular bankroll for purposes of the OIC. You do not literally have to clear your account of everything save $50, but you must keep accurate records of the $50 bankroll you have set aside for the challenge. [GC edit: you then need to subtract your OIC BR from your total BR to determine your non-OIC funds, which you must then declare at www.internetopenchallenge.com] You will progress in limits according to the following structure (Limit Hold'em): -----> Start at .50/1 with $50 and play until you have $100. -----> Move up to 1/2 and play until you have $200. -----> Move up to 2/4 and play until you have $300. -----> Move up to 3/6 and play until you have $500. -----> Move up to 5/10 and play until you have $1000. -----> Move up to 10/20 and play until you have $1500. -----> Move up to 15/30 and play until you have $2000. IMPORTANT If at any point your bankroll drops below 25 BB's for the current level you are playing, you MUST drop down to the previous level and work your way back up. This is designed to prevent anyone tilting away a large pile of money. If you find yourself in this situation take a break, examine your play, and then drop down and work your way back up...remember you are honor bound to follow this rule. Any bonus money received beyond the original "sponsorship" $50 should be NOT be included in your OIC bankroll. [GC edit: This applies equally to any purchases or cashouts you make – you must adjust your non-OIC bankroll for these amounts, and not just for your play at non-OIC tables or limits] Multi-table play is allowed, but not encouraged (the whole point is to gain solid experience). If you choose to multi-table you may only have money equal to your OIC bankroll in play at any given time. (i.e. if you had $120 in your BR you could buy into 3 tables for $40 each) Anyone who participates may choose to quit the challenge at any point. The purpose of the challenge is to gain experience with limited risk; however, it is utterly foolish to get yourself into a situation where you are uncomfortable or don't have the best of it. Don't be stupid, there is no shame in quitting early. The above statement is not an excuse for bonus abuse. Those who take the free $50, but then quit because 1/2 is "too hard" are idiots and will be dealt with accordingly. If you take the free money you are expected to give it a fair and honest effort. The OIC was originally created by Mike Haven and is not affiliated with 2+2." Hope to see you there, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
