Well as a qualifying player I was shocked to see the first ‘week’ was only 5 days long so set to ‘work’ as soon as I received the email. After about 5 hours play another crisis. Playing 2 tables and got disconnected. On trying to log back in received a message ‘Your account is blocked. Please contact support’. Lost about an hours play but finally got back in.
First days play was far from great, finished about $20 down. Had AQ run into KK twice, each time a Q high flop encouraged me to put more chips in the pot. An AK gave me a great flop of KK3 (2 clubs) and yes someone called my raises till they hit the flush on the river.
Best 2 hands of the day…33 turned into a nicely disguised full house and A 10 hit a 10 high flop which turned into trips on the river. It’s now 5 am here in Britain so of for some zzzzz. Reckon I got about 80pp so must try harder tomorrow (later today).

As Sylvia says, the points system is only for the freeroll league, 1 place is given out with the player with the most points in the 4 $250 Freerolls!

Good Luck.

I also believe that the point system is only for this freeroll league, which wouldn’t affect the Q1 Summer buy-in league. One way or the other, I’ll definitely give it a try. Isn’t it what all poker players wish for?….a job playing poker.

Nice freerolls. But sad that hardly anyone would be able to qualify for Summer Job becasuse in overall leaderboards 1-5th places will have the job and 6-35th will be able to qualify thru final freeroll. So if anyone would be able to win all 4 qualifying freerolls he would get 40 points and 35th place had 47 points already.
