Hey everyone! As you know the Battle of the Donkeys has started again (go here: BOTD Season 3 Details & Description for details) and we are ready to rock the Spanish community in a series of 6 tournaments!

The buy-in to the kick off tournament this Sunday (13:00 ET- PokerStars Time // 18:00 CET) is $5+50. Its the 15k GTD. As one should have a bankroll of atleast $500+ to play this kind of tournament we will once again be making STAKING DEALs available to members who need/want them. You can win/qualify for these in the forums. That means I will send you the buy-in for the tournament - and you send back 50% of whatever you win (should you get ITM). This essentially makes the tournament something like a freeroll for you.

To start things off I will be giving away 10!! stakes for this week and the next in this thread. The rules are simple. I want to start by giving away stakes to people who deserve them and have trained themselves in tournament play!

Requirements:

1) Download the ICM Trainer & do 125 Hands while maintaining a 96%+ correct percentage. After you are done - make a screenshot and upload the screenshot using e.g. http://imageshack.us/ and post it in this thread

2) Post the link to 3 hands you posted in either the SNG or MTT hand evaluation board.

After you have done this and thus proved you know something about tournament play I will stake you for this + NEXT week.

RULES
All screenshots need to include the bar with the filter settings!

The Filter settings that need to be used are:
Your Room 10-Handed or 9-Handed
Random Blindlevel
Random Stacksize
Number of players 2-6
Handrage 0-100

Trainingmode: Random
Our Position: Random position
Hero edge in %: 3%

If the settings can't be seen in your screenshot it doesn't qualify :)

ICM? Screen Shot? WTF?

Could I perhaps send you a nice bottle of whiskey for my season stake?

This would be a lot easier and less time consuming for both of us.............

A bottle of Whiskey for 6 stakes sounds like a good deal to me ;)

Common! A bit of ICM training is good practice - and a screenshot takes 1 minute :)

2 stakes! All wrapped up in 1 promotion ;)

Wooo hoooo! Done! :heart:

This promotion is a bit unfair though. It's tougher for us honest Full Tilt players...

Congratulations :)

Sorry about that Titan thing and putting you through it. I changed it to make it so people can choose their rooms. :)

Now you change it! I managed it with Titan settings anyway :P Not too much different from Stars, but damn was it tough to get 96%!

J9o is a fold but JT is a push, 44 is a push but 33 is a fold. A4o vs. A5 - even more tough without reads ;)


*edit - pokerstars format and corrected the # of players

Thanks, Soy. My Stars nick is LuborC, BTW.


1+0,2$ A9o on the bubble
$1+0.20 JJ in the low blinds phase
$1+0.20 Qq

First time in my life I had a result better than 93% in the sample of 100+ hands :)

For Elephant users it is actually quite difficult. Easiest is probably to cut and paste hand histories of difficult situations into a textpad directly while playing the SNGs.

I hope the SNG support for the Elephant gets integrated soon.
