Dedicating your spare time to learning a new skill can reap the rewards. Don\u2019t believe us? Then ask Russian grinder \u201cLuckMyDuck8\u201d<\/strong> who was a big Cash Game Leaderboard<\/a> winner last week.<\/p>\n

LuckMyDuck8D hails from St. Petersburg and has been playing poker for the past 10-years. He\u2019s played plenty of different formats and variants during that time, helping him to become a well-rounded player.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been playing poker for about 10-years,\u201d LuckMyDuck8D told the partypoker blog. \u201cI started playing heads-up hyper-turbo sit & go tournaments. Then I played heads-up cash games, before trying SPINS. I\u2019ve even played $100 and $200 Pot-Limit Omaha<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s his love of four hole cards that won him a cool $3,000 last week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spend almost all my spare time learning Omaha!\u201d<\/p>\n

All that study paid off for LuckMyDuck8D who finished on top of the $0.25\/$0.50 PLO leaderboard<\/strong>. Not only did he finish in first-place, but he also did so by more than 696 points! That is some grind. The loyalty points our Russian star accumulated were worth almost $1,680 in cashback. This means we gave LuckMyDuck8D around $4,700 last week!<\/p>\n

LuckMyDuck8D Logs 17,000 Hands in a Day!<\/h2>\n

LuckMyDuck8D credits his victory with getting the week\u2019s leaderboard off to a flying start.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy friends told me there would be a very good leaderboard during March. They said one player had played 50,000 hands in only one week. I decided to try won the PLO50 leaderboard and played 17,000 hands on Day 1! This gave me good foundations for my win.\u201d<\/p>\n

He managed to keep up a frantic pace throughout the week and stormed to the top of the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy main competitors almost gave up on Friday,\u201d revealed LuckMyDuck8D. \u201cThat\u2019s win I realised I could win. They played only to keep up their current leaderboard position, not to catch me.\u201d<\/p>\n

His lead was so substantial towards the end of the week that LuckMyDuck8D didn\u2019t even play on Sunday!<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even play on the last day so I could rest before the new leaderboard.\u201d<\/p>\n

That rest had done LuckMyDuck8D the world of good because he\u2019s presently leading the PLO50 leaderboard. It\u2019s much closer than last week, however. LuckMyDuck8D has 2,161.87 points (at time of writing) with \u201cCkulife\u201d hot on his heels with 2,157.55 points.<\/p>\n

Being able to log a lot of volume is obviously important to climbing the leaderboards, but you also have to be a skilled poker player. How do you do that?<\/p>\n

\u201cJust spend a huge amount of time learning poker. That is the only way.\u201d<\/p>\n

$1M Cash Game Leaderboards Continue<\/h2>\n

More than $1 million will be won by the time the last of March\u2019s Cash Game Leaderboards<\/a> are complete. It\u2019s never too late to jump into a cash game and earn some leaderboard points.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that you only need five leaderboard points each day to gain access to the $5K Daily Cash Boom all-in freeroll. You can enter a $3K Daily Cash Boom<\/a> all-in freeroll too if you generate at least two points in our SPINS games.<\/p>\n
