The innovative new site presents online poker players and fans the chance to track this amazing durrrr challenge and receive regular updates.

Around six months ago, the twenty-three year old online poker pro issued a heads-up challenge for any player with the money, time and talent to accept it. Any poker player entering the poker challenge has to wager $500,000 against Tom’s $1.5 million. Tom’s challenge specifies that a minimum 50,000 hands need to be played at the same time at four or more poker tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the durrrr challenge, the player who has more money will win the pool. Essentially if you enter the Full Tilt Durrrr Challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 hands, then you will secure durrrr’s $1.5 Million, but if he wins by a dollar then he will win your $500,000.

To date, a few poker players have accepted to play the “durrrr challenge”, including WSOP Champ Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, however, only Patrick Antonius has consented to the Full Tilt Poker Challenge. Until now, both poker pros have taken part in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with Dwan ahead $726,546 total.

Almost everyone uses a bank of some sort to protect their money and prevent overspending.

Withdrawing the volume of your funds from the bank and depositing them in a remote location where they are somewhat inaccessible is a good tactic to keep yourself from breaking the bank. Taking the chance that you can inadvertently spend too much in your quest to become wealthy online by playing poker is a risky proposition for even experienced and professional players alike. Banks exist for a reason, and the reason is that you need to keep your bankroll there.

You may even want to distribute it amongst several safe deposit boxes and lockers, in the event that you need to access a small amount. In this way, you can build an inherent amount of difficulty in the effort to withdraw your funds. This level of difficulty provides the time and the obstacles required to allow the online poker room and casino player to rethink the decision to go all in with what could conceivably be his rent, mortgage or car payment.

Usually this can be as easy as driving to the next town down the road, far enough away that it requires several hours of travel to make a round-trip and depositing your money into a safe deposit box or even an airport or a railroad locker. The player can sink into heavy losses and bad decisions in the heat of the moment when playing at online poker rooms and online casinos, it is a wise idea to take precautions to eliminate the chances that the internet poker room and casino patron could make foolish decisions and dip into money that is reserved for other uses rather than that of the bankroll.
