    Come on boys, do keep up.

    They are now showing on site, Micky, & I see you are going along nicely, tucked in behind the leaders with a double handful.

    Well done m8, keep it going.

    I did consider Opting In, just to "test" how it all works, but decided against it in the end, in case folks got uppity with me. I play a fair few SNG's here, so I'd likely be on the Leaderboard somewhere, but it's probably best if I swerve it.

    you would be above me. pretty certain i said this last year aswell lol dajavu. but you spend your money here, earn your poker points and would be awesome to see you win via the freeroll and get a decent cash in vegas.

    i do understand tho as lots like a moan up, and the online poker is fixed brigade would have a field day.

    Unfortunately Mr Tikay I've discovered that it's not where you start in the satellite games that counts - it's only where you finish ;)

    I will be giving the cash/sng leagues a bash at some point very soon (still trying to figure out my best route to try) but a couple of questions have come up which I have no idea of the answer to. Would be grateful if they could be clarified before I put any serious effort into qualifying :)

    I read that Prio members are excluded from the VLV leagues and I won't get involved in that debate as there is a thread for that. I am not a Prio member currently so from my personal perspective it looks like I can have a pop at these.

    However, what happens if...

    1: Lets say hypothetically that I give this promo a whirl and amass 20k points that week trying and win the league. Do you lose the package because you won too many points? (As obviously in the course of winning you would have become a Prio member).

    2: You amass 20k points during the week and do not win the league. Are you then barred from trying again because you became a Prio member in your previous weeks attempt?

    Thanks in advance for any clarity that can be provided :)

    From memory you only become priority at the end of each month (or rather the 1st of the following month) - not the moment you hit 10k points so feel free to aim for the leagues til end of the month :)

    Thanks Rose, that adds some clarity :)

    I guess question 1 is till open with regards to the last week of the promo which ends on April 2nd.

    Prio members are only excluded from mission las vegas, anyone (including prio) can opt in to the las vegas leagues promo as this is separate, so you wont be affected in anyway by hitting priority.

    No. Both questions are irrelevant, as Prio players are not excluded from Viva Las Vegas satellites.

    Hi marky wp last night in the semi I was railing both tables at the bubble could you post the final hand in the clinic I thought in the circumstances it was an interesting one your opponents shove with 99 seemed a bit loose I can only assume you had been playing creatively before hand :-)

    Hi mate, thanks!

    Yeah sure, I will try and dig it out although in the circumstances I probably should have been folding kings there. I just couldn't be bothered sitting for another half an hour on the bubble and figured I had enough chips that I should probably still get the ticket anyway even if I lost the hand.

    I was thinking more about your opponent I think there was still two or three players with lower stacks than him and it just seemed like a strange move at the time so I was thinking there must of been a bit of history

    Posted the hand in the poker clinic :)

    Yes agree, they had open jammed my BB a few times though. There was no real history, I had taken some chips off him but was ahead on all streets etc. Im not sure about the shove. I should be folding almost everything in the spot and if he gets the fold he has 'probably/maybe' tied up a ticket.
