TheMetetron attempts to win a Party Cruise....

Congrats to you both. Hope that you have a lot of fun and kick some butt in the tourney.

I thought I didn't quite make it in yesterday before midnight, looks like I was wrong though.

I got 36 points over the 25,000... talk about cutting it close.

Wish I was up this morning though as I would have sent the email then. As it is, I just shot mine off right now. Hopefully that doesn't screw with me.

I'll report back with results.

Oh man - you mean to tell me that after going through 50 hours of hell you slept in and didn't send the email the minute the points updated? Damn! I hope you didn't screw yourself, too. I've been rooting for you all week!

Hey - I didn't even try contacting them again and I too just got the exact same e-mail confirming that I got the cruise.

It was sent at 1:27pm eastern I think.


Metetron - check you e-mail to see if perhaps they also sent you a confirmation.

I don't know if this makes me more or less worried.

Well...as he said he didn't think he got enough points yesterday.

but it really is +EV to be totally paranoid about some of the different aspects of this (since they don't have a points leaderboard or anything like that) including checking and double-checking on the my-account page, etc etc.


Even after they told me that they 'estimated' that I had earned enough points on my 3rd day I played another 1k hands just to be sure.

Yeah, I played an extra hour, just to be sure.

By my estimates, I was 500 points short when midnight came around. I thought there was no way I was off by that much.

Oh well, at least I'll beat anyone who finishes up today... I guess that's something =\

I'm certainly no Granny... I would hardly be worthy of such a thing.

Just got this lovely email...
