Well i decided to qualified this month for premier league i was absent from there last few month. Started to play open league from 8/8/2016 and after 24 games that i played manage to make 2136.28 points and i think thats enough to finish in top 500 for 5$ price and ticket for next month premier league. Thing that was interesting we all know how is hard to make top 400 in 10k players 3 times in row to get ticket for 5000$ big bang tournament... Well i make my new record and manage to finish 5 times in row in top 400 players GL to all in premier league next month

Congratulations. you are really a hero by playing there. I've tried several times, but the number of dumbs that are calling all in pre flop at the beginning of the torney makes it almost unfeasible a decent game. You have to have a lot of patience to get through this stage.

It may not be that easy finishing five times in a row in the top 400 Some times all it takes is a loss with a high pair like AA,KK in the beginning of the tournament, to ruin your day . You will need to be a bit lucky with it, so good luck

Ivanjkp..... Wow..... Well done on your achievement. Indeed coming top 400 three games in a row is hard enough but you have achieved it four times, and now you want to make it even better and go five times in a row. Good luck with that target, I truly hope that you will succeed in doing so . Good luck.

You have managed to finish in top 400 five times straight in the tournament that had tens of thousands of players. This is a pretty remarkable achievement. I am certain that your next accomplishment is right around the corner. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you all on god wishes.This open league tournaments are very boring to play you must have good nerve and discipline if you want to go for premier league but for me was never problem to qualify. Also this month i have little prop bet that i will ensure participation in premier league with max 25 tournament in open and i did it with 23 games plus i play one extra so 24 game total
Excellent indicator. In this case it is really necessary to be disciplined and to have endurance. In particular to have time for this purpose. Continue in the same spirit and good rises up. I wish only victories and vyigrashy. Probably we will meet at tables soon.

I agree with you that if you play this open league very tight and discipline it is quite easy to make top 500 to qualify for the premier league.
I did qualify in July but i did not had 150 points required in the premier for the big money. So i played a few game and started in minus and decided that it was no good for me there and stop playing it.
This premier is very different than the open since there are many reg. playing there and not to many donks.
I wish you a lot of luck and make some money there.
