HALF A MILLION POINTS -WILL IT HAPPEN AND WHEN???

The SPOY criteria this year being what it is, I have no shot to making even the top 100. Unfortunately I either work or sleep at the times when the most points are handed out. Who knows, I probably would donk myself out in every one of them before the "money".
All the tournaments I can play is when I come home from work before going to bed. That is normally around 2-3 am. Nothing going on at that time but maybe a $10 turbo every hour and a half and the point builder tournaments.
Even if one wins the coveted $7 first prize, it won't give too many SPOY points.
Y'all have to understand that I am not playing here to make a living. ( This is the spot you should laugh out loud )....I am playing for fun, for the entertainment value of it, basically. Then again, it doesn't mean that I won't treat every chip like it was real money.
I pretty much know that I am the donkey in the game, but I am just having fun y'all.
So I made a little side bet to keep it interesting...
How soon will I hit the half a million point mark ?
Now.... there are stipulations for the time being.... My mom is coming for a visit for a month in 2 weeks, I just found out today. I just have to hide all the porn and gambling while she is here, she WILL be snooping around my place, and she likes to play puzzles on the computer...
Well anyway, this bet is for over/under and for entertainment purposes only. The line hasn't been determined yet, because of mom throwing in the monkey wrench, and the prize has no monetary value. The loser has to perform a certain number of activities for the winner... What a sucker bet this is; ( literally ) my boyfriend will play for me 24/7 and lose on purpose....
By the way, I am at 350 now and i said 3 months, but that is before I changed the rules...... lol
I'll keep y'all posted how it is going... I might have bit more than I can swallow but that is ok too. Wink wink. Just keep it fun y'all!!!

as for ur pile of points, I went through that on pure.play and have 500k points rotting there, its a dubious stat just like my point of getting so many cash finals. personally Id rather see 4 $20-$25 games at nite rather than all the tens with those fast blinds. u would get a better rating from them and compete more with day shift cause the fields are smaller. LOL tho, gettin things improved here is worse than going to the dentist. another idea is to have a bellagio qualie at nite like 30k

you can still reach the top 100 on spoy playing the hours that are available to you, half of my cash finals are from those times, and a third of my rating. making the top 100 is the same as eleventh or even higher, the only thing u get for that is entry into next years tourny if we even get it. for u things have improved, at least u get to play for some cash at nite and the other tournys are smaller cause they dont count on spoy, even the qualies are low enough on spoy that players wont load up

never fear, ur not missing out, spoy dont mean nothing, they dont give out trophies like they said, the tournament to play for isnt even posted if we even get it, and ur already qualified if we do. the only thing the tournament is good for is some will qualify for the one bellagio seat or a couple satalites. the only thing on spoy that means anything is if ur in contention for first. only a handful of players are, and they are the best players who play here regularly.
