SUrely you would gain more points playing 6 10/25 cent ring games playing extremely tight and getting off the table once you reach 50% more than you started with.
Once you get a nice roll going ( maybe $750 ) then you can go up to 25/50 cents and play 4 tables. Again playing tight as anything.

Hmm, looks like you are struggling a bit, too many tables id say, ABC ing your way will work but not with the profit you deserve. Hope PT3 puts a few things right for you, dont just use the hud(dont you just love it), look over your play. Or you might just be best suited for none turbo games, but will be hardere time wise to compleate the challange. My advice play as you are then when its close to the time you might have to jump on to the NL ring games, GL GeneYuss

fcumred, B1gfoot you guys are right. I switched to cash game. I'm paying just 4 tables for now until the decisions become more routine. And I noticed I'm not getting burned out after 2-3 hours of play.
shokaku, not exactly robotplay. I just played super tight and used poker tracker and also I remember if they're constantly stealing my blinds than I have to defend. I was playing 14 tables but it burnt me out and after a sick run of cards I switched to cash game.
doomdy, have you tested out Pokerstar's double ups? I like ipoker structure better. Are you still getting double rakeback at PKR and how much rakeback? I'm not sure the best way to spend FPP points on PS. I think I will spend them on satellite tournaments then sell the tournament dollars if I win. How much do you rake per month? I just did a quick calculation and it comes out to roughly 7-8% if you play satillites and break even in them. There are special fpp point tournaments as well. If you go for the cash bonus than it's 5%.
Anyway, update on on Challenge. I made it to silverstar

Yes i tested the PS doubles i like them better then Ipoker and rake is much lower. Yes getting rakeback at PKR, 30% plus bonusses for rankings plus points, i calculated its total sometin like 60% rakeback so not bad Average rakeback is sometin like 500 bucks so not bad for me.
The satelite tourneys sounds very good, i played them also on FT, didnt know PS offers them too. I think i can make more on the sat tourneys then the cash bonus
Whole month april i play at PKR after that i decide if i go too PS

Haha ya, 2 stars But by default it is not shown. Maybe I should display it, I don't know. They might give me more credit on bluffs but they may not want to play against a silverstar. Silverstar is $240 rake per month. Goldstar is $600 per month. Silverstar 1.5x fpp and if you are goldstar than you get 2x fpp points plus better tournaments. $30,000 Tourney on saturdays for silverstars. I'll try and play those this month
You should deposit when there is a reload bonus. Then it is +25% rakeback. And ya, you should be able to do well in the satellites...What % rakeback do you think you will get at PS roughly?

Hmmmm difficult to say cos i compair it too PKR but that not really fair, but i will play turbo's doubles to start with, at PKR its 10% on PS 4%, so thats calculated 60% rakeback if i compair it too PKR. Plus the fpp's i get what is sometin like 5/7% so total sometin like 65%+
So its basicly the same as PKR for me, but PKR dont have USA players and PS have these littl nice donkeys

Haha 65%+ rakeback is nice at Pokerstars. And once you make it to silverstar than it's 1.5x fpps points. So you 4 table $10-$20 double ups? I was 14 tabling on Pokerstars for a few days but it drained me after 2 hours.
Last couple days I was playing at Action Poker. I missed the BRM action poker tournament, how did you do with your Action Poker tickets?

Thanks guys, I'm enjoying 6 handed better. I think I like 4 handed even better. I'm playing good but table selecting a lot more. I'm reached $1000 which is cool.
CuteMonster, half of my graph is regular sngs, the last 500 sngs were DONs so I didn't make a huge profit on them
