    should be ridiculously easy i think. i dont even need 5 dollars a day profit to make 500, he thinks i cant win at poker anymore since i had a miserable few months, the stakes are way lower then i would usually play anyways, im not much of a heads up guy but you dont need to be to beat the smaller levels, from what ive seen the full length games are way softer. i have a dollar amount in mind i want to hit, but i have to be disciplined early.

    im not challenging a person.

    i have to get to set amount by april 15th in profit, if i go down 500 i lose automatically (keeps me from playing big off the bat).

    i plan on playing tomorrow was busy today watching football all day.

    i do not understand.

    you aren't challenging a person?

    you are challenging the the field, which i can participate in?

    what happens if i play and win? the leveraged bonus on top of that depends on how field performs?

    i do not understand.

    I accept challenge and want to play heads up.

    you are telling me my performance is combined with randomness of other blind opponents?

    please clarify terms.

    thank you. have a nice day.
