So yesterday with my wife at work and the kids at school, I managed 24 games before school pick up, which was a bit slow going. I took the number up to 50 with a late afternoon session. Then I thought I ended just before midnight on my 100th game. But soon after, while looking at my points total, I realised I'd actually played 105 games in the day, and lost 5 somewhere in the wilderness. So I'm not too sure about accurate stats, but the 100 sample was a 52% win rate. My worst yet, but still fine as the goal is to rewarded £45 in rakeback.
Total points all from 30p Turbo DYM's for March at time of writing is: 257
I didn't appear on first published Bronze promo list as I was only told about it (by my friends at the tables) yesterday afternoon. I've entered the code and will hopefully appear in the next list. I would have been 63rd out of top 150 if I'd been registered. So this is a new string to my challenge, as it looks like I may be able to add another reward on top of the £45 (if I make it to 3000 points) as long as I don't get left behind in the table.
Thanks for the latest posts showing interest in my challenge from MrsDuck and of course the lovely Truly.
So yesterday I needed to earn 98 points to be on course for the 3000 in March, gained purely from micro stakes. I hit 101 for the day just around midnight, with about 55 of them coming after 8pm.
I started the day recording my progress by writing down a W or L next to each game, for win or loss, but once in the evening session started it got completely manic as games are always starting up or needing an action, so I completely lost track of recording everything. I know people play three times my 6 tabling efforts, but maybe they are not turbo's and maybe the more sedate standard DYM's. Missing premium hands when 6 tabling 30p turbo's is a big problem as I am constantly timing out on tables.
Bizzarely I found out I am the joint 11th top player on any poker network in 2014 in terms of winning streaks, as it seems at some point this year I have won 17 DYM's in a row, and only 10 other players are recorded as doing better. Several are on 18/19 in a row, the highest player is on 27.
Also I was ranked 104th, out of 150, in the Bronze promo list, a £10 spot, so hopefully I can keep up with the big number hitters.
never thought that you could get that many 30p games in a day so thought u would struggle but you doing good so far hope you do make it and do well with the leaderbord thing ..goodluck
Ok, so I didn't update yesterday as it was me and my wife's 10 year anniversary of the day we met. We went to our local casino and had a lovely meal and teared up the roulette tables. The house didn't beat me, as I came away up, my wife's story was a bit different!
So 2 days ago then, I needed 98 points for the day and I gained 101. So that went well, but yesterday as my wife was off work for our special day and we were out all evening, I hardly appeared on the site and on only made it to 35 points for the day. This now leaves me needing 104 points per day over 24 days. Which I believe is possible, especially if I cut out a lot of the talking in the chat box in the evenings!
Yesterday in the Bronze promo I had moved up from 104th to 100th position, a £10 spot, so I need to see today how much my evening off has affected me in the leaderbaord.
Ok so yesterday when updating my points challenge, I completely forgot to include how many points I had! Well at time of writing I have a total of: 575
My position yesterday in my now side challenge, the Bronze promo, was 116th.
Last night was a really slow night in 30p land. I only had 3 tables running for most of it, not the expected 6. So my total yesterday came to 85, 19 off the the 104 I was aiming for. Still it's early in the month yet, a few days of hittng the 120 mark would soon sort me out!
Most people over in 30p Land know this anyway, but I thought I should explain on here what happened. Basically for the first 9 days everything was going going perfect, I was getting about 105 points a day on average. But then last monday, after returning from the school run, I immediately had to return there after my son's school had phoned to say he had been sick. So after caring for him all day, because he couldn't stop being sick, I had barely played any games. Then by early evening I caught the sickness bug. I was in bed by 8 o'clock feeling dreadful with only about 20 points for the day. Feeling rough the next day I only managed about another 20, then about 30 the next and so on as I was gradually getting better.
So by Friday I was about 300/400 short, and that was that, because I felt it was too much too make up over the remaining days left.
I will attempt gaining 3000 points again purely from micro stakes DYM's again in another 31 day month, as I think the challenge is profitable especially when combined with other promo's. As this month I would have recieved £45 for the points and two lots of £10 from the bronze promo, as I was sitting comfortable in the top 150 until my play dropped off a cliff.
Anyway thanks for the comments and to anyone who followed and supported this challenge. I will see what I can do next time..
