    Well good luck to you all, you need a good run for this and I strongly suspect by ROI of 9% though much better than a ROI of -9% will not be getting me into the top 6 places. Still it was a good promotion and one I hope they will consider running again in the future. As a suggestion for future ones perhaps it should be your best block of 30 S & G's should count, as it means if you have a bad run you can still give it another go, and keep interest in it. Of course this may be too difficult to actually keep check of I reall don't know.

    I agree sir gary and it encourages people to keep playing which is only good for sky. They ran another promo before which was your best win streak....and if you broke it you started again but that mainly suits dyms players. Another good suggestion I read was to have 3 dym players qualify and 3 six max.

    Played my first 10 games now.

    W2, 2nd in 4 and non placed in 4.......not sure what the ROI is but I do know that my HU game can't be up to much!!!

    Arrrgggghhh!  Had to win for a respectable 53.4% ROI, get heads up and we're all-in pre, have to hold for huge chip lead .. AQh vs KJc flop is low but two clubs. Turn blanks out, river is a club :(  Have played 32 now and at 48.3%.

    Played all 6-max, placing:

    1: 8
    2: 10
    3: 10
    4: 3
    5: 1
    6: 0

    A little less bubbling or a little more run-good/play-good heads up and top 6 might have been achievable. Fine margins!  In two minds whether to play a few more. 48.3 puts me just outside top 6 but no doubt this will drop further in the coming days. Not even sure 53.4 would have been enough.


    Still, as other have said, great promo! Really enjoyed it. It has temporarily interrupted my DYM grind that I've recently got back into, but to be honest I think I needed the break.

    GL all.

    what does everyone think will be needed for top 6? on the leaderboard but don't think 54% will be enough

    on a similar note, would be be possible to update the leaderboard more regularly on the final day?

    It's not based on Total ROI (what you seem to be using above) which is just basically how much profit you've made in total as a percentage of how much you've invested in total.

    The above way means you could win 1 x £50 SnG for £200, then play 29 x 60p games and no matter how bad you did in them, the amount you won compared to your total investment would be huge (which isn't very fair).

    The way this works is Average ROI, so winning a SnG will be an X% ROI regardless of whether it was a £1 game or £50 game. Hard to work out yourself, best way is to just use the spreadsheet ChickenMelt posted in this thread on page 7

    Destroyed my 40%+ ROI between games 35-41 with 5 losses on the bounce. Interestingly, my results are no bettter at the £1.10 level than higher, and I bust 4 of the last 5 games on the bubble where I shoved a marginal and was called light...... playing the lowest stakes may not be the answer if you are after consistency in your results.

    Good luck to the rest of you!

    I've played 9, won 1 and came 2nd once. Is it worth even carrying on?

    Leaderboard updated for today guys.

    At the moment we don't have the technical capability to be able to pull real-time data out of the system, we can only run it on adaily basis so can't really update the leaderboard more often. 

    Definitely something we are looking into for future promotions however.

    Seen a couple of people asking about what is going to be done about the cacelled and refunded Sit & Go's on Friday/Saturday night amidst the tech issues.

    These tournaments are counted as 'incomplete' and therefore will not count towards your average ROI.

    anything other tha a late collapse should see me finish on around 65%   fingers crossed

    48% now looking woefully short, back to the grind it is then. Target is going to have to be 60-65+ I reckon.
