Hmmm

How about just earning 10,000 points, earning it, not winning it. How long do you think that would take?

It all depends on the limit you are talking about playing...

At 1/2, you can expect to earn about 25-30 points per hour per table. At 2/4, that rate goes up to about 45-50. I think 3/6 and above only increases the rate a little bit over the 2/4 rate, so figure 60 points per table hour for any higher limit. (1/2 and 2/4 numbers from my own records for bonus info: 27.9 points/table hour at 1/2 and 48.1 points/table hour at 2/4.)

At 1/2, you would need about 360 table hours to reach 10K points. At 2/4, that drops to about 210 table hours. For 3/6 and above, figure 150-180 table hours.

You can play up to 3 tables at a time, so divide this number of hours by the number of tables you play to get the "real-time" requirement.

I have about 15,000 points after playing mostly 3/6 there for a couple months. It's a lot easier to earn points if you play shorthanded games and start tables. I play triple draw there, so I end up doing that anyway.

Really though, the points are pretty close to worthless. Most of the stuff you can get for 10,000 points is worth between $20 and $50. If you aren't already going to play at UB, the points should not be changing your mind.

Do you think someone could reach 150,000 points in 90 days if they really went for it?

Lets say if they did get there they would in $20,000

You basically get 1 point for every hand raked $1 (I think anyway). If you start every table you play at, you get an extra 50%. So, you could probably get close to 150,000 in 3 months of full time play, but it would be really difficult.

If you want to know for sure, just try to earn 1700 points in a day. I can't even imagine playing that much for an extended period of time, but someone could probably do it if they really wanted to.
