I might know a work around.
Well with no college this evening I had plans for a serious poker session,
However, turns out Mrs P had plans for a visit to Debenhams sale, and my eldest son needed a lift.
So regged the Rewards FR but couldn't start playing until just before 8. Then had to take my son out just as the blinds were biting. I tried shoving a couple of times but sadly they got through - I was really trying to double up or bust.
By the time I had dropped my son off and pulled in to a safe spot to check my phone - I was < 2BBs shoved some rubbish and had 2 players all-in behind me and I was crushed - managed to get to the river with outs but missed gg gn.
But then, I got a credit for £1. My first FR cash and with the token fund that brings the Mrs P holiday fund up to the grand total of £4.05. Which considering in former c4p I would have earned £3.08 (and not got it for another couple of weeks) means at least I am doing better on the reward front so far.
Also made a profit of over £9 on the week, recovering from quite a hole by Monday lunchtime.
Even had 3 winning cash sessions including a very brief run on a new spin up table - just wanted a quick looksee, 2nd hand in c/r what I thought was a bluff - was right and stood after folding button hand. Imagine they are going to be very swingy to say the least and at 50nl really beyond my B/R/ 10nl probably still beyond my b/r but had a couple of wins on a capped and a mastercash table.
In real life had a beer and curry night out on Friday had regged for Rewards FR but didn't play it.
Middle column below is the total for the challenge and the right column is this week (week 3).
1. I am back in the black - winning session + £2.30 token as cash = balance back over £50
2. I found this which will be an essential resource for mumsie

My return to black helped by a bit of luckbox action in a £1 6 max with JJ /> AA and AK > AQ on a QJx flop with two rivered straights.
NL Dyms running baaaad - PLO8 Dyms running gooood.
Good luck at the tables (and the sales racks) everyone.
Would love to only play £1 6max and £3 PLO8 as these are my favourites - but sometimes just have to go where the actions is when I am online.
Won another £1 in last nights rewards freeroll so now up to £7.35 for the Mrs P holiday fund. Not a lot granted but it's a start and considering that is way more than I think I ever received in c4p at least it means the new rewards is working well for me.
I think the poker gods are telling me to quit NL dyms. I got off to a flyer this morning with 2 small pairs hitting a set and a FH to build a good stack and bust one player. Then get a run of premium hands ending up busting another player. So its the bubble and I am />5k for ages. Player to my right is not attacking my BB so its almost cigar time. As blinds go up naturally more open shoving (but no calling) going on. I have a couple of marginal calling spots but let them go then hit a ard dead streak until around 3.5k chips and stacks getting pretty equal all round.
Figuring I must now have a super tight image I pick up A5s in SB folded to me so I shove....and run into AKs. Next hand shove A6 called by BB 67 and 89T flop with no split coming to the rescue its sigh gg. I suppose the earlier calling spots could have been used, but then realistically that A5 shove gets through 90% of the time and doesn't lose every time so even on a bubble has to be +EV? Just getting a bit ridic my win rate at these at the moment.
Meantime variance being balanced in the PLO8 variety actually around 60% on average of the 2 formats which is about par I reckon.
Evening class again tonight so will miss the FR.
Even managed to win a NL dym today 1/1 banked the win.
Also keeping a run of cash wins going (all small - and still overall in the red on cash).
Binked a small PLO8 MTT £1 16 entrants for a £8 boost and MTTs are now in profit overall.
Overall Totals now:
Unlike Mr Orford I don't just sing when I am winning but it is nice to be able to chirp up every now and again with something positive.
A certain former DYM diarist used to cause a lot of debate about "booking" wins. Not my normal mentality but feeling a bit fragile on NL dyms at the moment.
Bricked the Rewards FR.
Made a small profit while bagging some x4 points on the cash just before 7 tonight. Up to 91 so should make the 100 again,
With my ongoing NL dym torment (2 more losses this afternoon) I saw there was a £2.25 turbo nearly full so I regged that as didnt have much time and thought the lower BI and fewer decisions might help me.
The run continued I am afraid, so just for the lolz....
Hand History #921476869 (22:41 26/06/2015)
Only had the one short session over the weekend - bonus points cash on Sunday which didn't work out so well.
I was due a losing session and it came so £-5.90 on the day to dip below a B/R of £60. Still a profit of £13.54 for the week. As I was playing on the phone I lost track of my points so went a full "unnecessary" 33 pts over the 100.
I think there was only one bad play in there when I paid off a turned 2 pair with what looked like a brick card.
Assuming the £2.30 is still cash and not a token that will take my monthly rewards to £9.65 plus anything I make from the last 2 freerolls. That's more than double the equivalent under the old scheme.
