Empire Royal Flush Club Questions

[grinin]

How soon after hitting 15K points did you get the "invitation" to the club?

I am at 14,960 right now and was wondering if I get there tomorrow or Saturday would I be able to take advantage of the 10% deposit bonus for the month of October and then hit them up again in November?

Do I have to wait for some sort of membership card (in the mail) to get the deposit bonus?

How long does it take to get the watch?

you only get the $100/mth in the first full month AFTER you make royal-flush status.

so make sure to get to 15k points BEFORE the end of the month (and maybe to be safe, a couple days before so that you are officially 'in').
If you don't get in the club until Nov 2 then you will have to wait until Dec 1 to get the $100/moth bonus.

If you get to 15k points before Oct 31 then I would e-mail vip@empire right-away to make sure that they noticed that you made it.
Hopefully you'll be able to deposit $1k in November and get that bonus.

The watch arrives in about 4 weeks or so I think.

They send you a royal-flush card with a number on it....but it's worthless. You don't need your number of anything like that to get the bonus. It's just a piece of plastic that says you are a royal-flush member. You can get it framed if you are so inclined.

You need to hurry up.

I played my last points on august 30. I got the confirmation email on aug 31.

But i did not get the bonus in september, because of some strange rule that you can only get the bonus after 31 days...and at that time september was all over...

They DID give me another bonus as a comfort though, but not as big.

I envy you so much. I'm at 14,925 and let me tell you, getting points is a pointless grind. I was playing NL50 Shorthanded, and I raised 8 str8 hands from the CO with anything from KK-T7s and I won the blinds EVERY friggin time. My raise was also to 1.40 which isnt even 3x. The games are just so pointless now that the site is useless.

So you are making almost 10ptbb/100 from the CO during that sample. Terrible. Time to go check McDonalds for applications.

That is the fastes way:
6 MTT's (min. 10+1) + 4 raked hands = 76points

[PartySNGer]

that's only 16 points.

The number of MTT's you play is squared and doubled. You get points for the tourney fees for them too, so you wouldn't even need to play the raked hands in this example.

6 MTT's in one day = 36 pts = 72 pts for VIP club member. Plus points for the vig.

25 MTT's in one day = 1250 pts + the vig points. Thats how people can get from 0 to royal flush in a couple weeks.

[MicroBob]

This is correct.

You can even get 1,000 points or more in a day of MTT's if you REALLY grind it out.

20 MTT's would be:
20 squared = 400
400 X 2 = 800
plus another 50 (doubled to 100) for entry fees) is 900 right there.

25 MTT's is probably pushing 1400 points
30 MTT's would be about 2000 points.

people still play on empire /images/graemlins/confused.gif

I received a phone call from Empire that said they were "checking in" with all their Royal Flush members. It was just a voicemail so don't know exactly what they were doing, but I found it funny.

I can only imagine the conversation starting as: "Uh, where'd ya go?"

[PartySNGer]

That's pretty cool, if EP didn't fall apart with the split I'd consider 2 weeks of MTT grinding to bag a TV. Wait, nevermind, I could buy 10 TVs doing that amount of playing 10 tabling Party 55s.
