Can you explain what this 'Jackpot SnG' is about? With regards to how it plays different to any other SnG, and also how one can win the Jackpot.
Best of luck with your goals

Basically on the ipoker network, they offer bonuses if you win a certain amount of times
There are 4 types:
Buyin (including rake)
$2.40 - 12 players, 2 tables - Win 4 in a row for $2000
$6 - 10 players - Win 5 in a row for $15000 (coming in the first 2 places in 5 consecutive tournaments will net you $200)
$24 - 6 players - Win 6 in a row for $25000 (coming in the first 2 places in 6 consecutive tournaments will net you $300)
$59 - 6 players - Win 6 in a row for $50000 (coming in the first 2 places in 6 consecutive tournaments will net you $750)
For these tournaments, you do pay an extra fee, however comparing it to partypoker, the rake structure is the same.
With regards to how many people play, ive played 35 tournaments and played 250 different people! There is a lot of bluffing and stupid calling so basically try not to bluff!

Go to the edit signature section and at the bottom click the 'options' button next to extended editor, submit and preview. unselect all the buttons and your signature should show up properly.
coolio! thanks
plays been really slow at the moment, mainly the fact that I dont have time to play. Should be able to grind out like hell next week
wimbledom + cleaning the house as my tenancy of my student flat runs out tomorrow = no poker
well... I can play a few games right?
Love the slow play....

End of the day.... ended pretty poorly
only played 20 tournies, finished ITM 9 but only 2 1sts and 1 2nd
so I managed to break-even, despite being about $15 up at one stage. Of course PT3 says I made a loss of $22.80.... ♠_evil:
Anyway bed time. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!
Well end of week 2, still no $2000...... anyway,
One thing im confused about.... I played exactly double the amount of tournies. I made roughly the same profit as the first week.... which means I should have won double of everything. 1st and 3rd were doubled, got 2nd less and 4th one more, which means I should have made a smaller profit 
twas probably the increase in strength of the pound...
Anyway:
Won 43% of heads up, improvement on last week but still not good enough. Although most of the time the winner started heads up like 6x my stack 
Came 4th too many times
Things to work on:
Playing ICM 4 ppl!
Had some closeish runs, 1,2,10,1 
1,3,1,5
Trouble is that ipoker can take up to 15 seconds to move you to a different table and this severly hampers decision making! ♠_evil:
Of course the wonderful PT3 says I made a loss of $51.60 of the past 2 days ♠_o: and a loss of $68.40 overall....
Some hands

To be fair, I was down to 590 chips at one stage during the heads up. How i go to 4.3k I dont know O_O
Its been such a rollorcoaster day. End of last night i ran 12 tournies, only 1 finish in the monies, 3rd. And the start of today ran 4 tournies, 0 monies. So basically lost $34.80. That and my inability to win heads up this week....
but alas it got better. 2,2,2,3 was funny. o_O 12,12,7,11 I was clearly not in the mood.... and 1,1,2,2, where i nearly shat myself.
Ah well... it'll come soon.
Ive just realised I calculated BRM wrong.... I included rake! so...
$2 = £1.25 x 50 = £62.50
So for me to move up the next level, I need
$5 = £3.13 x 50 = £156.50
Do you think it is necessary for a 50 Buyin BRM? I think i'll move up when I reach £150 and move back down if I reach £100. Agree?
ah! PT3 does work! although only if you import them after you finish. Not during the games....
ill post a graph soon, although only the latter half is correct!
Phew. boy oh boy. I got a 2:1 which means I get to do a masters! yayyyyyyyyy
AND I PASSED THE EXAM I THOUGHT I FAILED! Energy and Environment/Electro-mechanical systems was the worst exam ive ever sat. Felt like crying. 42% BABY!!!!!!!!!!!
