    In a bit of a stick or twist situation, 66.94% after my 30, i'm not sure if thats going to be good enough come the 31st. Dont know whether to play another few games to tie up a top 6 place but also risk slipping out all together, what do you guys think?

    I think you and the others in the Top 6 should all go out and get hammered to celebrate being in the Top 6.
    Then, I think that you should all play against each other to see who's the best. Probably about 30 games to get a decent sample.

    Obviously, me presently being in 7th has no bearing on this advice. :)

    won 15 out of 16 now - I make it 68% (edit: potential ROI) - won 13 in a row and had 74% till form, focus - but mainly luck lol left me last night.

    for some reason playing 1 NL holdem DYM whilst waiting for a PLO DYM to startup is working - its becoming a superstition as it was only when I left this routine last night that I dropped one :( back to this routine tonight and won both.

    Just keeping it steady and tracking the leaderboard to see if I need to change strategy as if I lose one more the ROI will not be in with a chance.

    As everyone else has said its a great promotion - specifically as its viable for players of any stake and frequency.

    Thanks for the tips earlier Ger - I took a copy of the chat text for reading through after the game.

    Probably have to gamble and play 6 max tables which has higher variance but much higher potential ROI -  I think the term is go on a heater?

    From earlier messages it seams that head hunters are the last resort to try and increase a dead ROI

    I've not tracked ROI on 6 max so probably worth awaiting advice from some 6 max pro's

     Thanks for reply, there's one thing my cash balance looks a lot brighter...lol Think i'll carry on but if i loose 2/3 give up.

    Yes tomo you need to play six max from here on in if you want to make it. If you win the first 3 six max you might be ableto switch back to dyms.

    Rooting for you Waooga....it really would be an incredible achievement to qualify soleyfrom dyms.

    Make sure you get your 30 gamesin though the deadline is close!

     hi bigm.. well done on an awesome roi. are you planning on playing anymore, only asking because im kind of stuck.. in top 6 atm, but........... 1 loss and im down to like 63% and out of top 6 or not play and risk being overtaken!!

    i dont think my 68% will be enough, maybe try and win 2 dyms then leave it at about 69/70%

    ps whats the payout in the final? top 2 get paid?? if so it be a pretty big bubble!! prob a 2K bubble :(

    Hi pocket9s congrats also on your ROI! Personally I think 70% is going to be needed to make he top six, there's some well known regs yet to complete their 30 games. So yes I will be playing again for sure. I think the best thing to do is play one more reg 6 max sng and if you win you're well over 70% and booked your seat. Losing isn't a disaster as you can easily get back up to 70 with a couple of decent results. So that's my thinking, play one more and take it from there. It may be as easy as win and you're in. I've also been wondering about the payout, I'd imagine the top 6 will all get a slice of the cake.

    Right time to get the grind on. Only played 3, one victory and 2 losses.

    See how the next 10 or so games go to determine if it's worthwhile continuing. If you're on my table, I like a gamble ;)
