The Race To 10k . . . Is Over
April 18, 2009The Race To 10k between Heath ‘TassieDevil’ Chick and myself is officially over!
It took a little over three months but Heath prevailed with the final results as follows:
thkcduckworth - $6,652.85 (1 final table bonus)
TassieDevil - $10,021.45 (10 final table bonuses)The net result was Heath winning $250 for winning the race, plus $100 for most live winnings and $225 for final table bonuses for a total win-fall of $575. All-in-all congratulations mate, and for your great efforts I thought I’d present you with a trophy . . .
Congratulations Heath ‘TassieDevil’ Chick!* * * * * * * *
I’m definitely thinking of starting The Race To 10k II which will be open to all current employees of PokerNews and PokerNetwork, but with a few changes to the conditions (after I expressed by annoyance at some of the results Heath was logging in <100 player fields). I think including a Pocket Fives points criteria as one of the conditions will even the competition amongst players that don't play on some of the small and 'soft' independent sites and only play Full Tilt and/or PokerStars. Also some of the monetary amounts will change as their are bound to be more then two participants with also an alteration to the final table bonuses for the online sector.
Whatever the outcome, make sure to keep checking out Tilted Behaviour for any developments on the next race or any other poker news from around the country and abroad.

Chipped Up at ChipMeUp
March 01, 2009As the calender ticked over into 2009 PokerNews purchased poker staking website ChipMeUp, and following in the foot steps of good mates Andrew 'Adgee' Jeffreys, Michael 'TheBigSiCkO' Guzzardi and Heath 'TassieDevil' Chick I decided to jump on the ChipMeUp bandwagon!
Players worldwide can buy and sell shares of themselves in all poker disciplines, a variety of buy-in amounts and from the online felt to live events such as the Joe Hachem Deep Stack Series, ANZPT and WSOP. Players sign up for free and create their own user profile. To purchase a stake in a player; simply browse through the extensive list of events, choose the amount or percentage you wish to stake, and then transfer the funds accordingly. All the funds used to purchase a particular stake will go towards the player’s buy-in. While ChipMeUp does not charge for shares purchased, they do however charge a listing fee for when you sell a percentage of yourself.
With the strong online community that ChipMeUp and PokerNews now attracts - along with the ChipMeUp feedback service, all transactions are legitimate and actioned properly ensuring players receive their entitled share.

With the Joe Hachem Deep Stack Series only a week away I thought it would a good time to create a profile and post some events where people can buy a piece of me. I've decided to only play four events totalling a very affordable $1,460 as we have the ANZPT Sydney, Melbourne Champs and the WSOP ahead of us in the next few months.
On ChipMeUp it is expected that you sell shares of yourself for over market value, but it was very common to see people selling a share at 130-140% plus. So consequently I decided to sell mine cheaper varying from 112-120% so I can start creating a profile on a site that heavily relies on statistics and community support.
To grab a piece of me during the JHDSS or any future events check out my profile before all my shares are snapped up!
