Any other questions, fire away, & if nobody intelligent is around to answer, I'll try & reply.

every 16p in rake we get 1 poker point roughly.

its the every £1 in rake you get 6 points that confuses it 

the way its worded it reads as if we have to pay £1 rake before  poker points is paid which is not the case.

imo someone intellegent needs to rewrite it so dumbo's like me can understand.

for example i played 2p/4p and 5p/10p last night to get the 5 pp for promo, i just clocked what pp i was on then waited until i earned 6/7 pp to make sure.

i dont know maybe just me being stupid.

Cash tables rake Cumulative or pot specific for points?

i.e.paying less rake in a hand that would earn a point say 10p 5 hands in a row 50p in rake any points?

As a non cash player, I do the same. Never understood the point system in cash but thankfully can now use the widget in real time to check points earned.

Q for Tikay - In week two, could I just play one £5 SnG everyday to qualify? (or 3 days/5 days etc). I have never played on mobile before so hopefully I have read that bit right.

Yup, that'll do the trick.
 
Do that 3 separate days, & that'll get you 2,000 starting chips in the £5,000 Freeroll.
 
Do that 5 separate days, & that'll get you 5,000 starting chips in the £5,000 Freeroll.

Do that all 7 days, & that'll get you 10,000 starting chips in the £5,000 Freeroll.

Not sure I understand the question (I'm deffo not terribly au fait with the rake system), but does this answer it? It'd from the "Earning Poker Points landing page, HERE


"Poker Points are earned in real time, being accumulated at the end of each hand. Any fractional points accumulated when leaving the table will be rounded down. Please note: standing up and sitting back down on the same table constitutes ‘leaving the table'."

So its hand specific? 

2p/4p 7.5% rake so if 17p rake=1 point(6 point per £) you would need to contribute £2.27 to the pot to get 1 point?

I must admit - I'm still well confused with poker points for playing cash games

I played a cash table earlier - it was £2 default buy in.  I ended up buying in 3 times (I know I know - I'm a rubbish player!!).  I managed to lose all 3 buy ins fairly quickly so £6 down the pan.  However I then did one more £2 buy in and managed to spin it up to £8.17 so I made a 17p profit for my "experiment".

For my total experiment - I managed to get the total grand sum of 2 poker points???   How can that work if I definately lost £6 to begin with?
