Last year (2006) Columbo had his Donkey Challenge where you would deposit some amount and try to triple it up. I came close, within $100, but ultimately, I failed. Now with all of the payment processors dropping away, I wanted to continue the Donkey Challenge for 2007, but without having to deposit new funds. So I came up with my own Donkey Challenge.

This is a Single Table Sit ‘N Go Challenge. I must cash in 2/3* of 10 SnG’s to move up to the next level, starting at the $5 SnG tables, working my way up to the $30 SnG tables. I must complete the $30 Level to complete the Challenge. I will be skipping all of the Turbo Tables. If I fail to complete a level, I must start all over at the $5 SnG level.

* Since 2/3 of 10 isn’t a round number, 6.667, I’m going to round up to 7/10 of the SnG I must cash.

The levels are defined as :

  • Single Table Sit ‘N Go with 9 players
  • No Turbo Tables
  • The Game Type will be No Limit Texas Hold’em
  • Buy in’s will be in the following order: $5, $10, $20 and $30

As a bonus challenge, if I am able to complete the main Donkey Challenge for 2007, the Donkey Challenge 2007 Advanced will start:

The levels are then to be defined as :

  • Multi-Table Sit ‘N Go with 18 players
  • The Game Type will be No Limit Texas Hold’em
  • Buy in’s will be in the following order: $10, $20, $8 (SnG to get $26 token), $30 and $24 (SnG to get $75 token)

I started my Challenge on February 5th.
