    And you don't need to worry about missing the first couple of days

    Depends how many tables the people that have played the first 2 days are willing to play! If you fold all day playing 20 tables you might lose £100 though. So it' going to be profitable, yeah.

    In Response to Re: Punta Cana Cash Kings FAQ : I'm guessing he changed his mind (probably because DTM was in priority) and decided to not make priority last month (he was on 9700 on the last day)

    Ok - no point me trying either then or anyone else at that rate  - I think Lambo has got this sewn up already - plus I have to work so i have no chance.  I know there is cash but not much point grinding for 20 days to maybe get a £100?

    Yeah unless you have a very good chance of coming 1st there is no point in trying. zinfan looks to have the priority one locked up that I was going for - he's amassed 19k points after the first day.

    Really annoying because I'd got 2550 C4P after the first day which would probably have been top of the leaderboard were it a points race.

    Still no answer about whether playing as many tables as possible at 4NL and folding is "abusing" this promotion. I've no doubt got no chance already unless I try and survive off 4 hours sleep per night and grind 18 hours a day. But before I try something like this it'd be nice to have clarification on it being OK.

    Any news on whats happening with this? Is it staying as it is or changing to point rather than hands? Leaderboards getting updated?

    Also just in case, if I get priority this month am I excluded from the non-prio leaderboards? I wasn't priority last month.

    I imagine you'll need even more than a week's luxury holiday to recover from that! Genuinely don't know how you manage these monster grinds.

    Hope that Sky can add the scores in, it'll make it a far more interesting competition if we can see what gaps people need to close in order to ladder.

    How come I no longer see Dontellmum on the leaderboard? Which section is he going to be in? If he's in mine I'll give up now lol.

    Hi guys.

    I don't know any more about this Promo than you, so I spoke to the Office today, to try & get a bit of detail, such that I can (try to) reply to your questions every day, particularly as the chaps in the Office all have plenty to do, & don't monitor the Community. 

    Quite why I did that I don't know, as I'm sure there'll be some toing & froing, but I'll do my best, & if I don't know a particular answer, I know a man or lady who does.

    Bear with me please, I'll try & clear up the current stuff now, then I'll do so again once every day.
     
    Thank you.

    Hi Tennis Bloke,

    No, this would NOT be deemed "abuse" of the Promo, you can do anything within the rules, & that includes this.

    The cut-off point for the Daily Leaderboard is Midnight.
     
    The "scores" will ONLY be included on Monday, so they will be shown on Monday 6th, Monday 13th, & the final position, I assume, on Monday 20th.

    I've no idea why you cannot see any individual name.

    I cannot tell you which section he is in either - but presumsably he can be in any section he wishes providing he complies with the criteria. So, if he is Priority, he cannot be in "Prio Excluded" categories.

    I'm afraid I won't ever be able to tell you why you can or cannot see a particular name, that info will not be made available to me, & nor would I expect it to.

    Hi,

    I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that yet, but I will find out for you, & hope to reply to you by tomorrow.

    Just saw the Priority only table (micro/low stakes) - (which isn't a table right now) and I'm not even on it despite having played 16 hours 6 tabling yesterday and playing very LAG. It says now it's for stakes up to 5p/10p but yesterday when the promo started it definitely said it was up to 25/50NL.  Honestly this promotion is terrible if it's based on raked hands rather than points earned. It's just open to a ton of abuse (which can't really be proved) - right now 2p/4p is full of people playing a riduclous number of tables that they'd never play under normal circumstances. And they don't even have to play any hands....they can just wait for big hands and by the end of the promo they won't pay as much rake as they win in a package.

    As I understand it, the "Priority/Low" includes for up to 50NL.

    In Response to Re: Punta Cana Cash Kings FAQ : Yeah but there needs to be some clarification with regards to it being contributed rake or not...
    Posted by iatehorse
    Hi IAH,

    My original reply was....

    ".....Starting from September 30th, every time you play a cash game and are involved in a raked hand we will track it on our Punta Cana Cash Kings leaderboard . ( A raked hand is defined as any hand in which you are dealt hole cards and a minimum of 1 pence in rake is taken .)....."
     
    I asked for clarification today, & they told me that as long as you are DEALT a hand, even if you fold pre-flop, it counts, as long as some rake is paid by someone in the hand.

    I hope that helps.

    I think that covers most of the generic questions.

    I'll come back on the thread tomorrow if any further clarification is required.

    Customer Care may be the beter route if you require an answer more quickly.

    Have a great evening, I'm off to get bashed up (again) in the PLO8 DYM's.

    Hi Ihadtrip7s and Tikay,

    I forgot to enter the promo code which I have done now so I should be on the leaderboard tomorrow.  I am in your tier Ihadtrip7s as I was away last month so didn't make priority.

    Good luck at the tables sir,

    dtm
