I think around 50,000 hands at NL100 should be the guesstimate.

50k hands a month at NL100 probably yield about 22-23k VPP's per month. You would make Platinum of course in less than two weeks, so you would be making 55k+ FPP's a month.

After making Nova, which would take approx. 4 1/2 months, you would be getting 77k+ FPPs/month at that amount of play.

Bad thing about starting there now is you probably won't make it by Dec. 31st and it restarts on 1/1/08. If you mix in a decent amount of NL200 play in, you could probably make it at 50k hands a month.
