Hi smerriman, Tks for your helpful reply. Some of it I didn't understand. For example currently I have .21 BBO pts. I think of it in dollar/cents terms......21cents and I have to get to $2.00. So, your first line about 3 by my name and between 5-12.5 pts, what is that? Secondly, it took me a week playing Express games, quite a few, to get those .21 pts. I was not as successful playing the 8 board games.....0 pts. On average I can play somewhere around 50%, in the top half, but need a few good boards/pards to get 55%+ and be guaranteed of points. At my rate I'll be a while.......so that's why I was wondering if I was doing it the fastest way? Cheers, Chris
