Going for Supernova Elite? Progress Thread
Post where you are in your quest to SNE. Post anything else you want...frustrations, suspicions of game being fixed (not too much)...
I've been 7-9 tabling $100 NL. I have about 5k VPP. I will come nowhere close to Elite, but this is by far the most I've play in the short period of time. Also, I'm +$10. Yip-frickin-pee.

Re: Going for Supernova Elite? Progress Thread
I only play part time $1/2 and $2/4 LHE full ring and still managed 2k VPP since the new year. in your situation, moving up to higher NL stakes is probably more important than playing extra tables. you can buy in short to reduce your risk, but you need higher average pot sizes generated by other players at $200NL and up to earn VPP faster.

Re: Going for Supernova Elite? Progress Thread
If I played 6 or more hours a day, I might make SN and have thoughts of going for Elite, but I'm no pro. I'll play 6-10 hours a day on the weekends, but at most I put in 3-4 hours after work each day.
I was just wondering where everyone else was at in their quest.

[/ QUOTE ] I think you missed the entire point of my initial response. you're still talking about putting in more hours and playing a lot of tables, but the more important issue is that $100NL is a sub-optimal level to earn VPP's fast. if you look at the bonuswhores charts (VPP earn and bonus clearing are essentially the same thing), a low limit grinder like me is still gaining points about 20% faster than you will if playing the same amount of hands per hour, and I'm not even trying to get anywhere past gold level this year. by moving to $200NL you would theoretically increase your VPP from about 32/hr/table to 43.5/hr/table, without having to change your playing style much. that would be almost an extra 100/hr, 2000+/wk, 100k+/yr under your current m.o. getting to that $20+ pot threshold is very important in Poker Stars NL, because the VPP is all or nothing on either side of that line. you simply don't hit it often enough with a $1 bb.

[/ QUOTE ] Hmmm, this is interesting. Although, the rake only has to get to .40 to get a VPP, which is a pot of $8. Would it be a good decision to try and play 200NL, for the sake of earning more VPP/FPP?
