Low end Supernovas looked over by new VIP program.

If you get to 300K level, you get $3.4K cash extra in addition to over 30% rb. If you get to 500k level you collect $10.8 extra cash - enough to buy into WSOP on your own.

As to freerolls their EV remains to be seen. I hope it will be higher for SN than it was before not lower.

Fair enough. Where on Earth does it talk about the extra cash?

You get $2,000 when you reach 200K. That's $1,200 extra cash (50k FPP worth $800 at 1.6c/FPP).

Oh, I'm aware of the bonuses. Where is this extra cash you are talking about?

All I can find on the Stars site is information about the bonuses: for example $5,000 at 500,000 VPP

The bonuses are the extra cash..

Where does it say this? I don't see it on either PStars' bonus page or its Supernova Elite page.

I was wondering if their web site is finished with all the updates. From their previous announcements it seemed that there were more than one extra incentive to reach 200K etc (they always used plural forms when talking about the new promotions).
The only change is the one time bonus. I feel like a jerk for convincing my friend to bust his balls to make supernova by year end, by telling thim that there would be a big improvement to the supernova program.

I know that it is very likely this is the only change, but I was hoping for some incentive that would definitely convince me to give 100% of my play to stars....(this one time bonus isnt it).

Sounds like I'm gonna have more fun sleeping through the first hour of the freerolls, then shoving 2 out of every 3 hands and generally wreaking havoc. Wheeee.

Also, it looks like I'll have to play about 22,222 $100 SNGs (as pretty much everyone believes the $225s+ are unprofitable). Time to get a new monitor and video card! Is there any way a NL cash player can make 1M VPPs?

It looks like it is extremely easy for the golds and plats to qualify for the weekly $50k.

I really doubt the freeroll EV has gone up.

I'm not too heart-broken about that though.

SN freeroll value was already getting pretty low anyway.


Right now, Almost 500 Supernovas registered for the last of the old-format weekly freerolls.
