C4P Advise Needed Please

edited January 2012 in Poker Chat
Recently seeing Sky's improvement to teh Cash for points system to whcih i usually only make 3-4k per month i was discussing this with a friend  who also plays on another site. 

He intends to sign up to Sky from Feb 1st and try reach the full £1000 new player bonus form the offer of £5 for every 75 points up to a £1000. therefore this is 15,000 worth of C4P. 

Bqasically I dont think he is capable of this as he has the tendancy to get lazy about things an d has otehr commitments such as School but he is adament he can achieve it and we are willing to propose a large bet on the result. Therefore form cash grinders on this site i would like to know what im facing as he intedns to play from 15p/30p to maximum 25p/50p CASH ONLY of 6-8 tables for 4 hours a day. Some may include happy hour promotions but for now ignore this please. I would like to know 

  • How many RAKED hands people believe they play per table per hour to help me work out ho many points per table he will make
  • The time requiremnt needed to be able to achive this goal at these stakes 7
  • How hard it realistically is ?
  • And any other general ideas
Would all be much appreciated

    Yeah I was just about to say hes too young to play but assuming he is, nl40 and nl50 is the way forward.

    My hourly rate on nl40 is 80 four tabling and 120 during the happy hour. If he can 6 or 8 table its poss to clear the bonus by playing around 4 hours a day.

    if he 8 tables 50nl for 4 hours a day then it should come to 640/day

    be just over 18k

    plus he will get some happy hours in and prob some longer grinds too

    15k in 30 days is easy at 40nl and above.

    Sorry for the spelling guys, was in a rush!

    He was 18 in September and only reason he starts in February is becase he has a January set of exams for his A Levels.

    Thanks Scotty and others for your input really helps me understand what hes facing so we can have a bet Cheers.

    Whats his roll like for this enterprise. 8 tabling at 25/50 is about 400 on the tables at any one time. Rule of thumb is what no more than 5-10% of your roll in play at any one time so your looking at putting 4-8k into the site to start with to accomodate this sort of multi tabeling.

    Oh and if he does start this scotty77 and a few of the other regs would like his user name so they can encourage him in his enterprise.

    I wouldn't advise anyone to multi 40/50nl without 2 to 2.5k min.

    We spoke again today he intends to deposit around £1750 playing mainly 6 tables (considered 8 to be too hard) of NL40 if enough are available as the points system are the same on both NL40 and 50. 

    He's worked out from his schedule he will make just under 14,000 points by Feb 29th without happy hour extra aswell so should be a good bet we have going. Once he signs up I will inform you of his alias to track progress.

    P.s Good luck Scotty with the 60k C4P grind, absolutely insane!!!

    How many times have you had to have 50 buyins in play when playing 8 tables?  Yeh I wouldn't be advising it without having a £5k total BR but who puts their entire roll on Sky?

    So you think that a £1750 is not enough to play 6 tables of 40nl on a regular basis, interested to hear peoples view on br management. thats over 40 buyins which seeem more than enough to me but then again i dont play anywhere near the volume

    I had a word with flashflush about br on nl40, he advised in the region of 34 buyins. Its all very confusing but I guess the true figure should depend if your a recreational or full time player. I feel comfortable 4 tabling with 34 buyins but lets see how it goes. 

    Guess a lot of it depends on whether your a LAG or a NIT!

    Yeah I meant total roll. 

    If 1750 is the OPs mates total roll then he is on the borderline.
