Ah, now I see. Just missed Sit and Crush $$ by a few points because my last 5 tournaments finished after 12:00 and counted for the next week (lost all 5 too but thought I was getting $50 back).

Why do they do this? Is it to get people to "accidentally" generate points for the next week to keep them in the race again? I mean, if you are chasing a certain level, all you can do is guess when to stop registering on Friday night because you don't know how long a given tournament will run.

On a positive note, new players keep showing up! Some good, some bad, some who think they are in a PLO game.

Indeed, just a little frustrated because I have bubbled this two weeks in a row lol. Last time I played earlier and got what appeared to be a comfortable lead, then everyone came back and beat me.

The thing tilting me the most is the two columns that say "Cash Prize" and "Projected Cash Prize." Twice now I have been told I had a "Cash Prize" of $50, only to find out later that I came up short. Wouldn't that mean my prize had only been a "Projected" cash prize?

Does the first column mean that SPOT pays out the cash prize? And the second column applies to me specifically?

Cash prize is only at that current time, projected cash prize estimates how many places will pay and also what amounts will be paid at the end of the week.

It's best to get a solid lead before friday evening because a few high stakes players can grind it out and pass you in a few hours. They will pay higher rake to do it, since much of yours should be gained during happy hours which are 2x points. On-demands are another 2x points all of the time, so a potential total for 4x points by playing a ton of on-demands during happy hours. If you do it right, you'll only have to pay 1/4 of the rake as them in most cases...and this really adds up over many weeks or even months.

It's pretty easy to score high on the snc as long as you catch enough happy hours. If we can get o8 jackpot sngs added, it'll be even easier.

Also OSS is coming up again from aug-sep. The biggest o8 that I noticed on the list was a $109 30k gtd nlo8.
