Another way to increase your stack is to play at PLO cash tables: every 100 hands at limits $0.1/$0.2 and above will add 200 chips (up to a maximum of 4,000 in total). The qualifying period runs from 0:00 GMT on 28 July to 23:59 on 18 August. All hands in which a player is dealt cards, even if he discarded them before the flop, are counted.
