poker scores, wow how do they do it?
Man, I know that this is a game of chance and you do need some skill but it is still a game of chance. How do these fellers get in the 9000 range? I play the best I can and am lucky to get where I am at around 3300. Whats the key?

I have been hanging around the top 10 for a little while and I have had no bonus plays. It all comes down to the luck of the draw, just like the slot machines in Reno. Keep playing and maybe your luck will change. Good Luck, Dave

I would also like to know how to get bonus plays or at least get back into the game. I was doing good and still play daily,,but I am seeing some score jump by the thousands when I'm only managing to hold me place.

No hacks guys. I verified both of the top guys and they have home page featured and category featured at least 18 ads between them. No cheating going on.
We will soon be adding additional ways to get bonus plays!!

RE: poker scores, wow how do they do it?
Now that's a good question, last time I checked(this morning) he was over 13000.
Where can I learn how many bonus plays are given to marketplace users.
Like 30 plays for doing this and this? I think that needs to be clarified.
Not to give a hard time to RCU or bash anything but I knid of liked playing it and belive doing okay for the time being and waiting after 12am to pla before going to bed
Are they 1 time bonuses per ad or they stack-up for every ad.

RE: poker scores, wow how do they do it?
Allison claimed teh truck in teh 'buy me' list, so I guess he lost his 15, 000 bucks.
I just managed to get 2 flushes, and two straights, along with the odd pairs in today's 35 play session.
As for 'bonus plays', they are awarded whey you 'enhance' your ad in the market place. There was much negativity towards it, as it was percieved that these tilt teh playing feild in favor of teh memebers who have ads.
As for how much per ad / per enhancement, dunno. But some seem to have quite a few ads, and therefore gain a few extra plays...
This does however reduce their overall 'index' listing. The more plays, teh less this 'index' number will be. So, teh extra plays result in a higher dollar amount, and number of plays, but reduces your 'index'

Ah, got to 15,000 and claimed the truck! Cool. Must have gotten 2000 bucks today. At least I got to move up a spot! #5. Cool.
I too am curious as to the bonus play schedule. I think most all the negativity toward the policy could be eliminated if there was a set list of rules set forth describing how many bonus plays were awarded for specific ad enhancements. Best I can figure, it must be in the thousands of bonus plays for something. I get pretty lucky and understand video poker stats and all. I have reached #5 with no bonuses and missing the first day of play. I am pretty certain that to triple my score, someone would need AT least double my plays.

No, the negativity came up becasue bonus plays are only awarded to people who have an ad in the market place, and 'enhance' their ad. So, it seems that only a certain percentage of memeber advertise in the market place, and tehrfore are the only ones who can claim extra plays.. Also, if you have many items in the market place, you can really rack up your 'extra plays'!
There is a link somewhere to indicate what the 'bonus play' structure is.. I think in teh 'market place' somewhere..
There is also abit of 'anger' over the fact you need to 'play everyday' to be competitive as well.. some of us will miss a day or two, and some miss whole week-ends (like me - no I-net at home..)
Good luck to you all in the poker game!

Does seem odd that in the top "100" only 2 players have bonus plays. Now it's only the #1 spot since #2 apparently bought the truck. Maybe next quarter they will find some other way to comp the people who enhance their ads, leave the poker on an even field for everyone here. As far as losing your plays if you miss a day, I can understand that for the simple reason that more hits on a website translate into more money. They want you on here everyday.

RE: poker scores, wow how do they do it?
I'm ready to take the odds into my own hands and bet against the game. I have noticed there is some sort of pattern to it. If you get a low pair on the draw you will have a low pair after the deal. If you get an Ace and a couple of high cards then you will have a high pair after the deal. So I guess as in any game of chance there are the haves and the have nots.[
]
The way my game is going, top 100 today 300 tonight, I might as well be able to "bet the pot" and take it or leave it so I can get away from it once and for all.
