My first day at sky poker and my aim for the month is 45k points which will hopefully win me 'Cash K

Donttelmum

I won't be playing any stakes higher than 30nl.  I also have a couple of weekends where I can't play at all.

Is 45k to much to ask of myself?

Can someone give me an insight to the bonuses of priority club?

What does the priority club cash ladder usually pay out at different levels? 10k, 20k 30k etc etc.

Thank you for any help/advice!

45k in c4p blimey good luck dnt think ya make that even on 30 nl unless u play 12hrs a day 8 or more tables even then u wnt make 45k priority is 10k i think u will make that on 30 nl if u put the hrs in good luck

Welcome to Sky you find all the c4p details here https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby/poker-promotions/cash-for-points 

You realy have set yourself a very steep target to reach that level but as we dont know your background and how much you grind I wish you all the luck and keep the comunity updated with your progress.

Good luck

DOHHHHHHH

I thought 'King of Cash' hopefuls would avoid 30nl in the main, it's going to be difficult for you up against all the 50nl grinders.........

45k should be more than enough for a top 5 spot though, gl.

cu at the tables!

I doubt it can be done.

someone grinded the hell out of NL10 and scraped into 10k points, 6 tabling for like 12 hours per day, and during all the happy hours. 30NL you only get double what you do at 10NL so i think maybe 25/30k is reasonable depending

i wouldnt say it couldnt be done but it would involve an extrreme amount of volume. i have have no idea of your background so cant comment on how many tables and for how many hours it would take.

there would be obvious problems along the road like not getting enough tables runnning at certain times of the days to fit your needs. theres also the fact that if your playing up to nl30 then you are playing thru 2 different levels for the purposes of this cash king promotion. ie nl30 is the bottom level available for mid stakes so it would be tough to be up against the nl50 grinders who are putting in just as much voluime at a higher points rate, but if you were also playing nl20 or lower then you are qualifying for the low stakes so you may have conflicting scores that hamper progress in levels

yeah that was me. i do think you are nearer the mark when you say30k is a more realistic target

CrazyBen23

Didn't you have a prop bet written in this? Edited i guess lol, cos i would of layed a chunk on it that you aint grtting 45k from playing no higher than 30nl

Donttelmum

I did have a prop bet included but it seems to have been removed.  Do the modertaor's usually do this?

Ok, so I think this is going to be slightly harder than I first thought.  The reasons being:

1.  Lack of traffic

2.  I get major lag when playing more than 8 tables (any suggestions how I can fix this?)

3.  I have nights out planned where I'm staying away at least 1 night.

4.  I'm a fitness freak and gym everyday aswell as play football on Saturday's and train Tuesday's.

Having said all that I will still accomplish my goal and would like to take wagers but obviously they can't be sorted out on here.  Any suggestions?

Update:  

DAY 2 - 2100 points

Pipunch

more information would be good.

how many tables are you playing and for how long and are you playing all the happy hours?

if you've been hammering it then as i first thought you're on course to reach 30k, but without playing 18 hours per day every day you'll really struggle to get to 45k

Donttelmum

Hi Pipunch.

Can I only play 7 tables due to lag, so tilting!

I haven't really been doing uber volume as of yet but I'm not shy to put in a 30 hour grind when I need to.

On a diff site I would 20-24 table for 17 hours a day, 6 days a week.  But no can do here.

Back to it,

You have remembered to put in the promotion codes for Cash 4 Points and the King of Cash, haven't you?

I would imagine that 2100 points would have seen you on the leaderboard but I can't find you on there.

Lol, epic fail

I have just entered the bonus code.  Not playing much tonight.  £4.50 mojito's in the city!

Got to get my priorities right.

Hey.

GL with your challenge.  Gonna be so tough hitting 45k.  During January I got 60k but that was playing 12 to 20 tables of 50 thru to 200nl.

A quick tip is that the 20p/20p Action tables will count towards the middle leaderboard so you might wanna add those in when its quiet, as well as some 40 and 50nl.

With regards to lagging, I did suffer some lag with my computer a few months ago and I did a full virus scan/spyware check as well as checked all the background programmes that were running on my computer that might be hogging some bandwidth.  This did help so might be worth giving your computer a quick look over.

Hi scotty.

Thank you for your post.  Always nice to hear from fellow grinders.

I have been playing abit of 20/20.  I just really play anything thats going tbh.  Aslong as its no higher than 30nl.  Will up stakes when I get used to the software and after the month is out.

I'm terrible with PC stuff.  I never have anything else running as this would mean I couldnt run 5 tables.  Could really do with knowing a computer guy in Newcastle.

Ok, I behind schedule and am away all next weekend so best hit it.

Points - 4057

P.s £4.50 cockatils were fun last night but not so fun now!  Hate hungover grinds!

Lambert180

How many hours a day are you playing to be able to earn that many C4P from just 5 tables?

Donttelmum

Can normally put in 16-17 hours.  More if need be.

Sleep is for the weak :-)

Donttelmum

I can get more tables going at certain times of the day.  No more than 7-8 though.  Asolutlely mega tilts the f%&k out of me but what can you do!

DOHHHHHHH

+1 haha.

 I wondered who the new regfish was... Jokes haha, I'm a cash game fish myself. Out of curiousity how many points are you on?

Donttelmum

Just over 4000

Donttelmum

Mega grind today and still behind schedule.  I think I'm going to have to eat my words.  I can do 1500 points a day easy but it's when I'm going to be away a few days and need to be doing 2000+, which is very difficult to do everyday.

Plus, it's messing my life up.  Missed gym today grinding my backside off.

Horrible day for bad beats but I refuse to moan about them.  Probs about £100 down for the day, no biggie.

Points = 5584

I got 4 hours last night :-).  All good but poor performance in the gym today.  Off to bed now and footy all day tomorrow so it's going to be a quiet day on the poker front.  Will grind tomorrow night though, I guess that sould really read tonight as it's 4.30am.

I'm down a few buys this week though so hopefully get some back over the weekend.

Hmm sleep zzzzzzzz

Yea, I can run 20+ on all other sites and have spoke to sky about it and they did warn me that it's primarily down to there programme rather than my pc.
