    So Tony,
    How many points are you hoping for this weekend. I am looking for 400 to get me over the £5 threshold. not massive by any means but would be a first for me. I need to avoid losing more than the reward however if this is to be a success.
    Good luck to all
    Nick

    Happy Days is now up & running, until Noon on Monday.

    Help yourself.

    The extra points/£'s you earn up to midnight on Sunday will be in your Account Monday afternoon.

    Weather forecast for the weekend is not good. Let's play some SNG's.

    Hi Nick,

    First up, I'm so pleased your run-bad seem to have largely evaporated. It all equals out in the end, but does seem to come in clusters, & I know you had a brutal run. Now enjoy the other side of variance.
     
    My "dream target" this week was 2,000 points, but traffic has been thinner than I had hoped so far this week, & almost no games at £11 & £16.50 have run, so the 2,000 point target is out of the window.
     
    Even my revised forecast of 1,500 is optimistic, as I only have 509 points so far.
     
    That means I need 991, call it 3 x 330 points (Fri/Sat/Sun), with 330 points being 165 doubled.
     
    That is only possible if plenty of £11 & £16.50 games run. 3 each per day for 3 days would be 450 points, so I'd "only" need another 541. 541 is 180 per day, which would be 90 regular points doubled to 180 per session.

    It's beyond my control how many games run at any level, never mind £11 & £16.50, so it looks like I'll have to settle for somewhere between 1,000 & 1,500, but the target is going to be 1,500 total, or 991 from the weekend.
     
    We shall see. 

    WE were joined by a few of the 2 card boys last night, some of whom are pretty handy. Jac35 joined us too.

    Double points, the Prem promo and I have 3 days off work. I fear my pants will be pulled down this weekend.

    The mental vision I am getting is not at all pleasant.

    Hi Tony,
    Yes I am very happy to come out the other side of that dip. I misread one of the two card boys last night thinking he was bluffing..... ooops gg.
    Remarkable how the small pleasures make for the best feelings. Just managed to cash in a sit and go despite going down to just 100.01 in chips. Happy days indeed.

    It should not make any difference to how we feel, logically, but yes, I agree, those ones are so so sweet.

    How many did you get last night, Nick?

    Never seen so many PLO8 DYM's run in a single night, the place was rocking.

    Happy Days continues all day today.

    The weather forecast is dreadful, so traffic should be plentiful. Happy Days.

    The SNG's seemed to be very busy last night, amazing for the time of year. Same again today would be real nice.

    Hi Tony,
    23 games played (most I have ever played ina session)
    206 points (again most in a session)
    13 games won
    played mostly 3.30 and 5.00 but halved the two 11.00 played, I messed up a couple of times and left a couple of wins on the table.
    All for a small loss of £7.97.
    I say loss but could you get five to six hours of fun whilst watching GB claim gold in two events for that kind of money?
    I am off to watch Pompey today so will not get the same amount of points as I will not be back until 6.30-7.00.
    How about you?
    Gl to all

    Exactly that, great value & huge fun for less than the cost of a round of drinks.

    I also played the most games in a session ever - 650 - & earned a whopping 483 points, so I'm on 997 now. 2,000 will be a stretch, but 1,500 will be easy, probably end up around 1,700 or so. 

    Wish I could say I made a profit, but I dropped £30 on the night, all down to losing both the £16.50 games that ran, only partly compensated by making money in the 5 x £11 games.
     
    My lappie chose a bad moment to fall over - I had NINE games on the go, including an £11 & a £16.50, & the old girl ran out of steam, so that was a bit costly.

    Pants firmly pulled down yesterday afternoon, until I managed to get them back up again in the evening.

    Pants remaining on today, football and the pub is calling all day.

    Up to 320 and aiming for 500. One big or 2 average sessions on the dyms should do it.

    Saw you in a lot of games last night, so fingers crossed you still have a shot at the 500.

    Today is the last full day of this particular Happy Days.

    SNG Traffic was heavy again yesterday, I'd bet good money that it was at record levels for August, which is usually pretty quiet.
     
    Should be busy again today.
     
    Payment for everything earned up to Midnight tonight is tomorrow afternoon, which is rather nice, too. Them fivers & tenners soon add up.

    Just made it over the 500 this morning.

    Enjoyed the plo8 last night, helped by cashing a £10er. Was not only making points but growing b/r nicely.

    This morning was a car crash session and b/r headed other way. But overall got the £5 instead of a £2.30 token and expect will be picking up decent premiership promo points and b/r still higher than a week ago with that to come.

    May be on the plo8 tonight but cant guarantee it hence the session this morning.

    Hi Tony,
    As I thought the trip to watch Pompey get their first win of the season meant I did not get as many games in yesterday. I managed to get a couple of games in before I left for the football ..... and lost them both. I also lost the first game of my evening session as well so things were not looking good. 
    Games played 15
    Total points 170 
    Games won 7
    So, you would think things were not great, losing more than I won, fewer points gained, however....
    I lost all of my lower stake games 5 in total at 2.25 and 3.30, but, I won four of six at 5.50 and three of four at
    11.00, all for a profit of 7.55.
    So over two nights I have amassed 376 points, played 38 games and have actually made a loss for 0.42 . 
    42p, but I also reached my 500 point overall target and so I will also gain an extra 2.70 in rewards, so, I am actually, in profit.
    Quite odd how things work out really.
    How did you get on?
    Nick

    Ha, well done Nick.

    I've been winning the game count nicely, but winning the wrong games, so I have dropped a good few bob this week. Not played particularly well, truth to tell.

    As to points, the games died earlier than I hoped last night, but I still managed 438 in the session. So that puts me on 1,435, & I'll easily hit the 1,500 threshold.  2,000 looks very unlikely unless we get a raft of £11 & £16.50 games going tonight. Still, you never know. Probably have to settle for around 1,800, which is £27.
     
    I've also had £25 from the Premiership this week, & am currently sitting in 22nd in this week's Premiership, which is worth about £30 at the moment. So, one way or another, won't be too bad.
     
    Am enjoying a poker weekend, as I have to miss a good bit next week, got a work thing to attend on Tuesday night, & Gill is down next weekend, & we are going away for a couple of days.

    So after three days of double points how did we all get on?
    I played 53 games in total, won 28 lost 25.
    I gained 510 points making 634 for the week in total, the most ever for me.
    I made a massive profit of £ 4.93 lol.
    I also made an extra £4.04 in rewards payment over the normal £2.30 token.
    so overall profit for the three days £8.97.
