Default Question about stars weekly TLB and shaundeeb

OK so I'm trying to go after the weekly TLB this week a la Shaundeeb by playing a shitton of $4/180s, $10/180s and $20/180s and other assorted low limit donkaments. So I get stars to email me my current standing and I see I have close to 2K points. Then I see my weekly ranking (the button on the stars lobby) and I only have ~1400 points. WTF? Well:

"Not all of the above points may count toward weekly, monthly or annual Leader Board standings. Only the 10 best results will be counted for the weekly rankings, 20 best results for the monthly rankings, and 100 best results for the yearly rankings."

If this is the case, how did Shaun manage to win that week's TLB by 20-tabling like 8 hrs a day at the 180-man sngs + smaller donkaments? Even if he somehow managed to win 10 $20/180s, all he'd get is 300x10 = 3000 points total for that week. Or did he play bigger buyin tournaments as well (like 109r's etc)?

3000 is usually good enough to win.

nah usually 4K is needed to win the tlb.

But how did Shaun do it just by playing $4/180s, $10/180s and $20/180s?????????

Why would you ever want to win the TLB? I'd rather die trying to drink 2x the amount of juice any human can drink. Grinding micro donkaments is so much worse than you think it is.

oops I saw the previous week's winners and they always seemed to be closer to 4k than 3k. my mistake.

this whole endeavor has proven to be a monumental waste of time so far. I'm like 13th on the weekly list after having put in say 25 hours of micro-donkament grinding (averaging 10-12 tables at a time?). I'll admit it was a little half-hearted on my part since I only started monday night and didn't really play to the utmost of my ability/time.

so far I have 1 $4/180 win, 1 $20/180 win, and one $10 PLO donkament win (170 people or so), which was soooooo sweet since at the end with 4 stacks, I had 200k and the other 3 stacks were 9k, 9k and 10k. I'll see how everything goes today and if I final table/win anything tonight I'll probably play the whole of tomorrow (saturday) for one last effort.

whoever wins the sunday million usually does not play that much during the week. Usually they finish about with 2500.
This week it looks like they have kept piling up points so its going to be tough to win.

You can get alot of points from a top 3 in one of the rebuys. Only trouble is the huge field sizes. so i guess you need a blend of sit and goes and MTTs though this is probably not going to be an easy week to win it.
