a question about priority?

edited September 2012 in Poker Chat
How many tables do u play and how many hours a day do u have to get to make priority for instance 

if i play 4 tables of 10 nl a day for 6 hrs a day and use the the happy hour promotion could i get priority at the end of this or am i miles of ? could some 1 give me a rough idea how much volume u have to put in thanks

    In my opinion you shouldn't even be aiming for priority unless you are at least well rolled for 30nl, and are a full time player.

    Far too many people on here at the low levels are concerned about making more in cash for points bonuses then they are in actually improving as a player and moving up the stakes.

    Unless you are actually some kind of machine/TINTIN you won't stand any chance of making 10k poker points below 20nl. Even at 20nl its probably 10 hours a day.

    When I was making priority I was playing 12 tables of 50nl for 2 hours a day most days and I was barely scrapping in.

    Tintin done it NL10 - his post below



    for those thats asked about how much ive played well heres the answer, i base much of my play around the happy hours thus maximising my points, a typical day will see me play 6 tables(max for my computer) for around 9-10 hours, 11:30-2, 5-7, 7:30-9, 10-midnight then 12:30-tiredness. this happens most days.

    Yeah its gonna be VERY hard to get priority at 10NL. TinTin is the only person I've ever heard of who has done it and I believe he was playing 6 tables, for around 9 hours a day 6-7 days a week, making sure to include every happy hour every day, and he only just made it.

    EDIT: Beaten to it ^^^

    I play 20nl and I will make it this month, should have last month but fell ill in the last week.

    I play around 30-35 hours a week, 8 tables. 4 days I'll play 6-7 hours, 2 days 3-4 hours and one day off.

    I've worked out that it is roughly 1.5-1.75points per table for every 10 minutes at this level (during non-happy hour) and then 2-2.5 points per table for every 10 minutes during happy hour.

    yes i made priority at nl10 and if you were to play 4 tables 6 hours a day around the happy hours you would be lucky to get close to 5k points.

    when i done it i was 6 tabling for around 9 hours a day. i only had 4 days away from the tables over the month and it was a 31 day month so i put in serious graft which ultimately left me suffering a little burnout. youve got to average 350 points per day every day or get 400-450 to let you have a day off at some point.

    i think i pushed the limit when i done this, so much so that it was a shock to many. i now have a new computer which allows me more tables and to put inless hours and i should achieve it again this month but its still gonna require a good few hours graft, im on 3500 so far.

    you really need to work out the calculations for what points you earn per table per hour and go from there but what you suggest in OP is pipe dream stuff even for me

    This. 

    Don't even think about priority unless you're already making up around 6/7k points a month imo, then it might be worth put abit of extra effort in. 

    If you wanna grind more do it for the right reasons.
