| stars battle of the planets
since i'm lazy and i never play enough poker, i've never actually completed a round of battle of the planets (i.e. i've haven't even played 20 sng tournaments in one week to qualify for the lower end let alone 100).
however, just out of curiousity, i looked at my previous 20 sng tournaments that qualify (all $1.50 buy-in 27 man sngs) just to see how i'd do if they fell within one week. i was very surprised at the results.
despite me running at 101% roi over my previous 20 tournaments, i still would have not even made the sng leader board (i think i was around 400-ish points if i remember correctly). i guess you really need to be on crazy run good to get there.
i thought i'd have a chance to make it since i have done well in sngs generally, but this seems almost impossible. i'm never lucky enough to string a run together like that.

Ya you have to do very well to get on it, I tried years ago did a stake for it and just fell short of appearing on it, but back then you did not even have to get 400 points to make it either if I remember.
I did a thread not too long ago when they doubled the prizepool for it, I started off pretty good and was over 200 points but I was like you and did not finish the 20 games,lol.
I look at how many points I have for the week when I play for shits and giggles but I don't make it my main focus.
