Title: The nicest surprise...
Post by: AMRN on March 08, 2010, 10:03:54 AM
Logged into Stars this morning and found my account was $600 healthier than when I logged off last night!!   Turns out I finished 2nd in last week"s Battle Of the Planets SNG Leaderboard for $20 to $50 games  - $600 bonus and ticket to monthly final!

Do you play the 9-seaters still? Those are very competitive.

Very nice, wd Steve

I had that happen last year - but I was only playing $5 sit and go"s and finished 7th, so it wasn"t quite such a high amount

Still; free money = always good

He learnt all he knows from the BCPC. Before he joined he was just a luckbox.

As is the number of SNGs he played.  Oh, sorry, thought you were talking about his belly... ;)

Only joking Steve.  Nice work fella.

lol cheers Dan - working on it!!

Not volume related Brendan - there are low and high orbit leaderboards.... low orbit is best batch of 20 consecutive games, and high orbit is best 100 (mine was on the low orbit board).

Got the day off work so looked for a MTT to keep busy with - played the Stars $10k Gtd at 10am for $33.... 577 started, and am currently 2/19.    Would be nice to spin the free money up a bit further :)

I want to see what I should realistically be aiming for
