    well tonight went a lot better, turned the 5 buyin deficeit into a 5 buyin win, played from about 7;45 thru to 9 then from 9:30 til 12. the first session was pretty much only 9 tables. i was slightly forced into banking some wins instead of hanging around for any length of time. i didnt hit n run as it p****s me off i just waited a few orbits then left.

    the sencond part of this evenings session went even better, after locking up a couple of buyins previously i manged to gain 8 more making today worthwhile and putting a smile on my face. people shoving 125bb pre when im sitting behind with aces just as deep helps the cause (and them holding). managed to hold my concentration pretty well throughout til i made an idiotic call towards midnight there. if ever there was a signal it was time to take a break or quit for the night that was it.

    uinsure what to do, call it a night or go back for another hour. im not tired tho so we'll see. managed to get to 275 points which i think is fine for today at nl4. i know its gonna be slow progress til i can step up to bigger points tables.

    i got to say with scotty77 and also a few other players who i know play higher there was some tough tables about and i dont imagine thats said too often about nl4. i had a little look around the other tables at nl10 nl20 etc to see what names were playing a lot. it looks like there could be quite a few putting in a big effort. i think the winning mark might be beyond what anyone thinks it could be. tonight was the most tables ive seen running at nl10 and that includes weekends.

    Can I ask what being a member of the priority club does for you?

    Did you get any cash from the priority club cash ladder?

    TIA

    theres a few benefits that come with being in priority, like increased payouts on bonuses the longer you acheive priority, early payouts of bonuses, exclusive freerolls and a few others. i think someone has posted a link on your other thread

    Hi TinTin good luck with this. I am one of a few 20nl grinders who will be going for this I feel. I reckon you will definitely finish top 10 and almost definitely top 5 although I'd have to see who is playing over this week. There aren't that many 'exclusive' 20nl players so aslong as those who play 20,30 and 40 don't turn to just playing 20... i can only see a handful of players (talking 2-5) making it over 10k c4p. This promo may change patterns mind so again I will know more by the end of the week.

    Tintin I have more points than you this month and somehow you're ahead of me on the leaderboard? You did say you 275 right? Strange.

    did you play after midnight?  if so then points earned after then won't be on todays leaderboard

    maybe they didn't put the promo code in myaccount section yet
    also think this is a good point.  hope that people take the time to read the promo section again!  will make sure to mention it on the show when I'm on as its sometimes easy for people to 'skim' the promo pages and miss the code.

    did you play a session that was a long one and then stand after midnight?  as then the points aren't actually going in until you stand...

    first of all good luck, its gonna be a long month. yeah there was 3 or 4 names i noticed were on multiple tables but im completely unsure of there patterns and there was was a couple more who i know can put in the grind so it wil be interesting. i think we will get a better idea about midway thru the month as to whos going for what.

    yeah it was 275, i had finished just before midnight. think others have already mentioned what may have caused the discrepency. to see i was in 7th was mildy suprising

    yeah people can register up until the 20th, so up until then, the leaderboard is not gonna be accurate

    played a bit of nl10 over the last 24hrs or so and it's pretty funny the amount of ppl playin far too many tables for either their brain or computer to cope with

    i don't claim 2b any good myself but the quality of most of the regs is ridic bad, as soon as you get to nl10 you'll be crushing and at least in the top 10 of the leaderboard.  the way most of them are playin then unless they have bottomless accounts quite a few won't make it through the month
