I have just concluded a block of twenty games as part of the Pokerstars Battle Of
The Planets promotion. It is my best effort of the last few weeks. All twenty
games were $3 nine man sit n gos. By playing at the $3 level I am automatically
competing in the Mars orbit where points are earned based on your cash placings.
The aim is to get a top one hundred spot over a weekly period to claim a cash
bonus. High finishers also get a shot at a big prize fund sit n go against other
top performers from across the buy in levels. My twenty game performance breaks
down like this and includes four wins and five other cashes. Happy with that. My
points total was 297.
So did I make the leaderboard? Are the other Mars competitors quaking at
the sound of my name? In a word no. Not even close. You need at
least 420 points to make the leaderboard which would require me to win a couple
more and another cash. You need to achieve roughly twice the breakeven points of
around 210. There are so many players at this level that you really need a
statistical rarity to make the top positions. It has been useful though in terms
of turning a lot of tournament dollars (won in my recent satellite wins) into
real dollars.

Good luck out there......
