im on 84% on the same level, i think someone told me that i've got to get to 100,000 poker points, and the 84% is therefor 84,000,
im no pro but i think ring games is the quickest way isnt it?

you do ned to get too 100,000 but you already got 35,000 to get too bronze so each percentage is worth 650 points, therefore you need to get 25350 (i think)

Which is 507 games

I'll answer the query from the OP in 5 steps:

1) If you are on 61% to silver it means you have accumulated 61000pts and so need 39000 more.

2) You get 100pts for every $1 that you pay in rake.

3) For a $5 SnG you pay $0.50 in rake which means you get 50pts for each SnG you play.

4) 39000 divided by 50 = 780.

5) You therefore need to play 780 of those $5 SnGs to get to Silver.

accept those facts are wrong,

1) If you are on 61% to silver it means you have accumulated 39650pts and so need 25350 more.

2) You get 100pts for every $1 that you pay in rake.

3) For a $5 SnG you pay $0.50 in rake which means you get 50pts for each SnG you play.

4) 25350 divided by 50 = 507.

5) You therefore need to play 507 of those $5 SnGs to get to Silver.

^^He's right, I'm wrong and I stand corrected.

Yes, in the bronze to silver bracket you're going from 35000 to 100000pts and so are collecting 65000pts in total to get to silver.

61% of 65000 is, indeed, 39650pts.

I was mistaken and I apologies for confusing the issue.

well, it used to be the last Sunday of the month, but having just checked doesn't appear to be in the schedule. I remember a few months back Jabba did say thay were thinking of changing the $10,000 freeroll to a different format and the mtt's are being reviewed so it might have changed.
