    Didn't want it to turn into a 'I have more points than you' thread but take your view on board Ben. Not sure why you think nothing would be done though...as I am sure you may have participated in the Vegas f/roll put on a couple of years ago using a few of these 'dead' points up. That is basically all I am asking for.....use them up to clear them or turn around and say they are dead points which we will all have to accept and move on.

    I think most of us have, but you always get one or 2 stragglers who can't let go of the past.

    regarding old points, It had been brought up many a time and nothing will be done about it because i think if i recall it will cost sky to much if they enabled them to be used for something other than freerolls. Years ago i was hoping for a store where you could spend them like other sites that shall not be named. i have    721,271 banked points so imagine what others have old players Ajs, glitterbabe, james, sam etc etc etc even alvez recently,  it would be great to use them on something worthwhile but idon't think many expect anything to be done and rightly so i think.

    Thats pretty impressive I only have a measly half a million or so.

    I bumped into Dan at g casino in sheffield about a week ago. We were remenissing when Sky Poker was at its peak and your name got a mention. Unfortunatly cash games have been declining rapidly every year. Is it same with the sit and gos?

    As far as I can see Tommy is the game will be set up as a timed tournament with 1500 chips for each player. Blinds will be 5/10 and it will run for two hours. Rake shouldn't be an issue.

    Exactly.

    It was going to be run on a cash game table, but it caused way too many problems. So yes, the Big Cash Game will be played as a timed tournament, with fixed blinds. At the end of it, you'll receive £1 for every chip you have left.

    Both the prize draw and the freeroll are open to anyone earning the required points!

    I'd advise preparing a plate of nachos with cheese, grilled to melt the cheese and keep the nachos crisp. Maybe a bit of salsa.

    Unconfirmed, but I'm hoping it will be.

    Not sure about this promotion. Who exactly is it going to incentivise? 
    No-one with a family who plays moderate to low stakes will make priority over Christmas, no matter what the incentive. I think this promo will just be giving 9 grand to professionals who would've played anyway.
    It would've been better to sweeten a few pots in January.

    Despite thee festivities, December is one of the busiest months for Priority. The seasonality, along with time off work, seems to go a long way to offset the time people don't play during Christmas. I do appreciate, however, that other commitments may stop you from getting involved this month.

    As Tikay hinted, there will be some pots sweetened in January. In fact, 10 Priority pots will be considerably sweeter, before even considering the non-Priority promotions!

    Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

    Hi gents,

    Sorry for the late reply, I'm a little unwell at the moment, and out of the office.

    The freeroll will go ahead as scheduled, and the prize draw will take place tomorrow.

    Best,
    Jp.

    Tonight's "Big Cash Game Freeroll" (which awards three seats to next Thursday's "The Big Cash Game") is now in the Lobby, HERE

    Those qualified (i.e, who earned 15,000+ points in December) need to register, your name will not be auto registered as far as I can see.

    Just 3 names in the lobby so far. Easy game, then.
