90 poker points in a day? Advice needed.

What is the best way to attempt to get another 90 poker points today? I need this amount for my next ladder up for my months poker points total.

I usually play micro stakes tournaments (£1 - £5), but I know I will not get enough by just playing these later.

I am not a cash player BTW, so that just leaves SnG's. So, which ones will be the best to grind later?

Cheers for any sensible advice.

    9 11dyms/18 5.50s should be easy.  low variance and if you cna 2/3 table will only take a 2/3 hours.  should be a tonne of games running too since it end of month

    If you play hypers, you get 1 point per game for £1.05 games, and could get 90 in pretty easy if you 2 table. Could play a bit higher if you feel alright about it £3 games I think give 2 points. Or cram in some DYMs. Both of these are definitely the best points earners. I just got my 100 poker points for SPT Cardiff so that was a nice boost

    30 x £3 DYM - easily beatable so nice monies aswell

    £5 are a little tougher

    depends how many table you play - DYM max = 45 minutes

    Try and satelitte into the main,  then you'll get 100 points for playing that.

    Thanks for some great advice so far. I am playing the DTD comp later and can really only do 4 tables at once. I think I will load some DYM's up before and after and see how I get on.

    Q. Is it 3 poker points for the £3 DYM but only 2 poker points for the £3 hypers?

    I thought this, but as it will not finish till after 12 o'clock, the points will not get included in this months total?

    As Ryan said, 9 x £11 DYMs is probably the best way, and they'll give you 10 points each time - They also only take about 30-40 minutes each. The best way IMO, if you're rolled for it. Otherwise, 18 x £5.50 is still pretty quick and the games at £5.50 are soft.

    There's also a £110 DYM in the lobby which has had the same guy there for about 8 or 9 hours who isn't playing any other tables, I think he's turned his computer off and forgot to de-register. Either that or he has nothing better to do than stare at the lobby all day ) So tempted to play it myself but I'll get crushed by the regs, lol.

    good way to get value cash for pints is £2 roulette you get 3 poker points for £2

    so 30 games win 20 lose 10 evern and got your 90 points

    Got them in the end....phew.!

    First 6 STT played, I cashed in 4 and bubbled the other two...lol.

    Up and down all night TBH, but I think I may only be down £8 or so, but I did play the DTD games for a fiver, but didnt cash in any of those.

    It was a minefield out there! Full respect to the full time DYM grinders.
