You hit Iron Man levels in 11 days, and you have 8 to go.. meaning you can only get 19 Iron Man days this month.. you need a minimum of 20 days if I am correct.

Though, it's still the 20th.. you got time to hit your Iron Man level for the day and still get it for the rest of the month.

I know it has probably been said before, but Rush poker makes qualifying for iron man a breeze. 4 tabling 5nl rush I get to 50 points in about 40 minutes, 30 minutes if I go 2 tables of 5nl and 2 tables of 10nl. Have not tried 4 tabling 10nl rush yet.

Yeah it always does that when the number of days left in the month (including the current day) = number of days you need.

Feb. is the hardest month to hit, ldo, so just keep working at it. I think I need 7 more 500 point days for Iron.

Yeah it is tough, and I was away at the start of the month so have to hit every day now for bronze - March on I'm aiming for silver

How many months consecutive are you?
In my 7th month, so I will be losing 25 medals, but it will be worth it to not lose my streak in the long run as long as I plan on continuing it next month.

wait, do you get medals if you buy a cont.month? i thought you didn't...

(edit) but even losing 150 might be worth it if you plan to play there for a while longer. you'll make it up in 3-4 months and then you would go up faster than if you have to start over.

As you can (just about see) from my calender above on 19th Feb I earned ~100 points - however in my calender now it has me down as having 500 points that day? How is this??

No you don't get anything if you buy a continuation month (no $$s for it in July either). If you're close enough to do it, buying up to 4 continuing days is better because you still get everything just like if you had played out the month.

FTP gives 500 point days any day their site crashes. So there must have been a temporary outage on the 19th. You don't actually get the extra points just the credit for that day. If I know there is an outage I often take those days off because I know I'll get credit for the day anyway (I'm lazy).

Hello, I have a question. How long would it take me to get 125 FPPs per day playing 2 tables of 25nl Rush?

Thank you.

Not very long at all. As I said earlier 2 tables of 10nl and 2 tables of 5 nl takes me about 30 minutes to get 50 points. I am guessing at most 45 minutes.

It takes about 600 to 700 hands to hit 125 points at 25nl. I know that takes about an hour playing ten tables. It seems like one rush table is about four regular tables. So I'm going to say a little over an hour.

Thats insane and makes it so much easier to hit Iron Man. Too bad I get completely owned at Rush poker every time I try to play it.

it generally took me about 2 and a half hours to get to 250 points, so slightly over an hour seems right. but it depends slightly on the time of day you are playing. if it is in the evening ET it should be somewhat faster than if you play during the european day. :)

Somewhere between instantly and hours.
