I assume one gets more points at NL25 6-max.
Even if it's only 10VPP per table-hour that would cut into the total number of hours quite a bit.

u get less vpps at 6max nl than at 9max nl

Re: What would it take to achieve supernova elite on stars?
 

But you get more hands per hour.
I admit I haven't looked at exactly how many points you get though.

Re: What would it take to achieve supernova elite on stars?
 

someone should make a calculator for this stuff.

Re: What would it take to achieve supernova elite on stars?
 

Supernova vanilla, NL full ring

NL50: 35,500 hands per month
NL100: 19,500 hands per month
NL200: 13,000 hands per month

Supernova elite, 10x as many.

Hardly play on Stars, so these are rough figures.

It actually needs to be 12 'true' hours of 24-tabling so I'm increasing the requirement to 13 total hours to account for various tables opening and closing and this would essentially also mean that you practically never time-out.

pretty sure this "never time-out" part would never happen as you would be too busy thinking about killing yourself.

All,

Let's play breakeven poker and be supernovas!

Re: What would it take to achieve supernova elite on stars?
 

If anyone wants to try and make Supernova Elite at 25NL, I will gladly prop bet you an additional amount up to $25,000 against. PM me for action!

You need more hands than that to make Platinum each month, which you need to do to maintain Supernova. Better to just plan for Platinum, and you'll get to SN in 10 months or less. I would estimate closer to 23k hands/month at NL100 FR for Platinum.

Also, is there really that big of a bump between NL100 and NL200 FR? I don't have any stats on other levels.

Re: What would it take to achieve supernova elite on stars?
 

Yeah, you need to stay Platinum, at least on and off to maintain Supernova in the next year. Also, after the first 6 months you are back down to Gold/Platinum until you hit your annual 100k VPP. So players can't count on the Supernova 3.5x FPP rate and other benefits throughout the year if they're doing the bare minimum. However, by getting to Supernova, at least one can convert FPP to cash bonus in the VIP store with a better conversion rate than the lower tiers get, much better than the Gold bonus especially.

NL200 does seem to earn VPP at a better clip. Partly it's because if people open with pot-size raise at NL100, get called by BB, and take it down on the flop, then there is no VPP for that hand.

I didn't realize that you have to requalify for Supernova after 6 months. I don't see that on the website.

That must be why I see so many people open for $4 in 100NL. If they get called, and see a flop, the pot is raked enough to get a VPP.
