Hey guys,

I'm going to try and get to Supernova. Here is my info:

Currently 64k vpp's
Assume I play 200NL Full Ring for the rest of the year

How easy will this be for me?
How many vpp's do I earn per 1000 hands of 200NL FR?
How many hands will I need to play to get from 64k vpp -> 100k vpp?

[rdrr]

About .5 VPP per hand at 200NL is a reasonable estimate, so 72k hands, which should be quite doable.

This is out of date, I think there's a more recent thread but I don't have it handy:

Based on those numbers, you'll need around 55K hands. I think it's a little lower now (those are pre-Frist numbers) so maybe around 60K hands (ballpark).

I folded a set.

Standard meaning there is a maximum of 7 spades left in the deck and one of them comes on the turn when I have a set? I agree.

[/ QUOTE ]I meant it's likely that the short stack has the flush plus you still have somebody showing aggression to act behind you who could rr. Anyhow, this game is to easy sometimes...
