Your strategy is what my husband and I discussed tonight at dinner .
We fly in four times a year (at a cost of 850-1000dollars) then rent a car ( but I check every day to see if the rate decreases) we fly Tuesday to Tuesday. So my husband and I arrive on a Tuesday and therefore are not eligible for the multipliers as we would start out as a ruby. Our first trip of four would be a trip where we accumulate no B connected points unless we play slots and achieve sapphire faster than trying to do so through video poker. This defeats the reason we come to Vegas. As a result playing at a Boyd property isn't worth it.
We are emerald now and will miss the 3x points that emerald players received. We also enjoyed the discount at the breakfast and lunch buffet but even that has been slashed thus chewing up our points faster.
So it's time to jump ship and look for a casino that treats out of town visitors better.

If you're trying to get from Ruby to Sapphire you *might* be better off playing high denomination slots. Since slot theos assume 10% there are many basic $5 slots that have an actual return in the 95% range. I'd suggest $5 Double Diamond or $5 Triple Diamond classic 3 reel machines. Once you reach $751 in theo then switch back to Video Poker and play only on the various 11x multiplier days. I would ignore tier points completely once you make Sapphire....you're never going to get to Emerald.The major issue with the new Boyd Tier point countdowns is that they assume everyone is playing perfect optimum strategy. Very few people, even many of the members here, play perfectly. We all make errors of some sort including the occasional catastrophic "button-errors" where we think we hold 3 of a kind and only wind up holding a pair or some such error costing us $30 or $40 in a single hand. The typical 8/5 Bonus Poker game holds around 2% yet Boyd is assuming a hold of 0.83%. Forgetting advantage players, the collective global group of VP players are getting completely screwed over. Nobody should play Boyd anytime they don't have a multiplier until they bring these point countdowns in line with reality.In the meantime, you're probably better off playing $5 slots....than playing a 99.99% video poker game.
