How difficult is it to accumulate this many EP Points? More than anything, I want a Porsche omfg. I just think that it would be near impossible to even come close to accumulating that many points. If you play 2500 hands a day... you're only getting 40 more EP points than if you were to play 100 raked hands a day. If you count being a VIP member or becoming one, you only need to accumulate 6500 EP points.

If you played 2000 raked hands a day.. You'd only be getting about 45 ep points per day. 6500/45= 145 days.

Is there any way to accumlate EP points faster!?! Even Schneids I bet doesn't have enough EP points to enter this tourney.

i have over 9k points there and i'm just a lowly 2/4 and 3/6 player who is also frequently chasing bonuses elsewhere.

they gave me 5k (like they did for other players).

once you have 5k then you are VIP member and your points are doubled each day.
so 1000 raked hands = 31 points X 2 = 62 pts for a VIP member.

you also get points on your deposits

btw, i'm not defending their awful system...just explaining it.

you can try to get the free 5k points by having your deposit-limits increased or something like that. not sure.


anyway....since you can cash-out your points as well...8k points = $80.

so if the car costs $80k (i have no idea really...just guessing....i know SQUAT about cars) then they will need to have fewer than 1000 players in this thing to make it a +EV tourney.

i'm guessing 400-500 players for this tourney....but i'll put a +/- on that of about 1000 (except i don't think we'll have a negative amount of players).
no way for us to know really.

I'm a noob on Empire. How do you check to see how many points you have?

You really should have 13,000 points since you want to stay above the 5000 mark and keep getting double points.
