25K party points in a week possible?

[Nick-Zack]

Those are all bonus points folks. The promo is for the FIRST 30 people to accumulate 25K points. I think that 10 tabling 5/10 22 hours a day should do it. This promo blows unless you are willing to play all day every day for 7 days straight.

A gold player at 5/10 6max makes 24 regular party points/20 hands.

Since 75% of hands are raked at 5/10 6max, that is essentially just under 1 party point per hand.
So ~27,000 hands, which is 77 hours 4 tabling or 33 hours 8 tabling. Double the figures for a blue member.

10/20 6max is even easier. 36 party points / 20 raked hands for a gold member. Since 80% of hands are raked, that is around 1.44 party points per hand, or about 17k total hands. 47 hours 4-tabling or 23.5 hours 8-tabling. Double the figures for blue members.

If I was gold, I'd be done in the first day.

I'd say somewhere around 0. In fact, I think a better question would be will 30 people manage to get 25K regular points in a week or will party be doing this promotion again next month with the leftover seats?

You do not believe that there are 30 Gold members, who have a desire to go on the cruise, capable of 10-tabling 10/20 6 max for 19 hours on a Saturday, starting at midnight and shooting off an email before dinnertime that they have completed the promotion?

8 table 200+12 SNGs? and throw in occasional step 5 tourney?

I am not even in the VIP Club or at Silver/Gold level, but I can help with the math on that thought above...

A Gold level VIP member doing "only SnG's" would have to:

10-table 200+12 SnG's (earning 60PP per SnG as Gold; $12 fee is 30PP for Blue)

That amounts to 600PP per round, assuming average of 60 mins per SnG, that's 41.66 hours non-stop, FYI. So, yeah, if someone has a few Step 5 entries to play, that can speed things "somewhat".

Looks like I agree with pokergrader & Sniper that multi-tabling 10/20 LHE 6-max (if only to play more hands than 10-max) as a current Gold member is the ticket!

I think that most of the people who are capable of 10 tabling 10/20 6max are not gold members at party because they were signed up at Eurobet until the party split in October and just started playing a significant number of hands at party again.

Also, a lot of people are going to be travelling/spending time with their families this week so I think that's going to reduce the number of people going for this.

Finally, take a look through the archives of Microbob's blog. He did a similar promotion last year where he had to earn 20K party points I think and he got the required number of points 3 or 4 days into the promotion and managed to get 1 of the 10 cruise seats. This year you have to get more points and Party is not counting bonus points so I stand by my prediction that Party won't be giving away all 30 cruise seats from this promotion.
