Friday @ Noon
Stick it in the diary.
2X points on SNG's for 72 hours.
Happy Days is now up & running, until Noon on Monday.
Help yourself.
The extra points/£'s you earn up to midnight on Sunday will be in your Account Monday afternoon.
Weather forecast for the weekend is not good. Let's play some SNG's.
First up, I'm so pleased your run-bad seem to have largely evaporated. It all equals out in the end, but does seem to come in clusters, & I know you had a brutal run. Now enjoy the other side of variance.
My "dream target" this week was 2,000 points, but traffic has been thinner than I had hoped so far this week, & almost no games at £11 & £16.50 have run, so the 2,000 point target is out of the window.
Even my revised forecast of 1,500 is optimistic, as I only have 509 points so far.
That means I need 991, call it 3 x 330 points (Fri/Sat/Sun), with 330 points being 165 doubled.
That is only possible if plenty of £11 & £16.50 games run. 3 each per day for 3 days would be 450 points, so I'd "only" need another 541. 541 is 180 per day, which would be 90 regular points doubled to 180 per session.
It's beyond my control how many games run at any level, never mind £11 & £16.50, so it looks like I'll have to settle for somewhere between 1,000 & 1,500, but the target is going to be 1,500 total, or 991 from the weekend.
We shall see.
WE were joined by a few of the 2 card boys last night, some of whom are pretty handy. Jac35 joined us too.
Never seen so many PLO8 DYM's run in a single night, the place was rocking.
Happy Days continues all day today.
The weather forecast is dreadful, so traffic should be plentiful. Happy Days.
The SNG's seemed to be very busy last night, amazing for the time of year. Same again today would be real nice.
I also played the most games in a session ever - 650 - & earned a whopping 483 points, so I'm on 997 now. 2,000 will be a stretch, but 1,500 will be easy, probably end up around 1,700 or so.
Wish I could say I made a profit, but I dropped £30 on the night, all down to losing both the £16.50 games that ran, only partly compensated by making money in the 5 x £11 games.
My lappie chose a bad moment to fall over - I had NINE games on the go, including an £11 & a £16.50, & the old girl ran out of steam, so that was a bit costly.
Today is the last full day of this particular Happy Days.
SNG Traffic was heavy again yesterday, I'd bet good money that it was at record levels for August, which is usually pretty quiet.
Should be busy again today.
Payment for everything earned up to Midnight tonight is tomorrow afternoon, which is rather nice, too. Them fivers & tenners soon add up.
Enjoyed the plo8 last night, helped by cashing a £10er. Was not only making points but growing b/r nicely.
This morning was a car crash session and b/r headed other way. But overall got the £5 instead of a £2.30 token and expect will be picking up decent premiership promo points and b/r still higher than a week ago with that to come.
May be on the plo8 tonight but cant guarantee it hence the session this morning.
I've been winning the game count nicely, but winning the wrong games, so I have dropped a good few bob this week. Not played particularly well, truth to tell.
As to points, the games died earlier than I hoped last night, but I still managed 438 in the session. So that puts me on 1,435, & I'll easily hit the 1,500 threshold. 2,000 looks very unlikely unless we get a raft of £11 & £16.50 games going tonight. Still, you never know. Probably have to settle for around 1,800, which is £27.
I've also had £25 from the Premiership this week, & am currently sitting in 22nd in this week's Premiership, which is worth about £30 at the moment. So, one way or another, won't be too bad.
Am enjoying a poker weekend, as I have to miss a good bit next week, got a work thing to attend on Tuesday night, & Gill is down next weekend, & we are going away for a couple of days.
