I played the $0.05/$0.10 no limit ring games for the first two weekends, and I seriously believe that you could easily finish the promo like this with maybe 16 hours of play. But I ended up switching to $0.50/$1.00 and earned well over the points that I needed. I depositied the minimum $100. You really don't get that many more points playing higher stakes, because the max rake is $3 for 3 points with a $60 pot. You get 1 point if a pot gets up to $20.
As long as a pot gets up to $1 you will get .05 points. Even playing the $0.05/$0.10 nolimit, the pot will usually get up this high. With 9 players at the table, as long as each pot gets up to $1, you will make .45 points per orbit, and it'll only cost you $0.15 for each .45 points. To get your 250 points, you would need to play 555 orbits (5000 hands) and lose $83 if you just folded. This in theory would take 83 hours at 60 hands per hour. Of course 50% of the pots are going to get higher than $1, which is why it won't take you this long or cost you this much even if you just fold. You will also have $10 in deposit bonus released at this point, for a net loss of $73 if you just fold.
The key to earning points is to play ring games with max players at the table.
