I'm kinda excited for this because its the first time theyre gonna include super turbos in the promotion. Theyre only worth half the points but might yield better points since they end so much quicker.

Anyone else doing this. Ive never played it before so whats the best strat. Would playing during the slow times (early morning US time) be the best way to try and get a top block score. Maybe we can use this as a sweat thread too to put our best blocks scores and such. Id be down for some side prop bets too.

Does it matter how many SNGs you join? Like it just counts the total of all the "points" you receive for all the SNGs u play in the 2 hours? So it is better to play continously than to play in sets. As soon as you bust, just keep loading them?

My plan is to play 2 hours straight 16 tabling, then take a break the next 2 hours. It sucks cause I play the $5 9man supers, which is the bottom of the 5-10 level. I get crushed whenever I move up to the 10s so I might have to drop down to the 2s and just try and crush those and get the number one spot. Well see, maybe I can still make the leaderboard playing 5s.

i predict i will be playing in some reg-infested super turbos this weekend. c'est la vie.

i think it'd be nice to use this as a sweat thread for people to post their block scores. it's every 2 hours IIRC.

Superturbo players should crush the leaderboards on this right?

I really think they should. They made them worth half the points of reg turbos, but Im pretty sure you can play more than twice the number of sups than turbos per hour.

yeah for sure. I was gonna start loading like 10 minutes before the block started and then stop regging when the block ended and play the rest through, just in case. Thanks for looking out though

All points will be awarded based on the time that a selected SNG begins

Its the same leaderboard point system they use for the monthly leaderboards. The points you get are based on buyin amount, number of players and what position you finish. Theres a link to the actual formula on the page i linked in the OP.

Thx aptronym.

Yeah thats why I was thinking of dropping down to the 2s and just raping that section. I have like 80 bis for the 10s, so I could prob swing it, I just dont want to run bad and **** up my confidence when the prizes from these things arent even that big. Well see.
