It is not 3.5 points per dollar.
You only can get 1 point per hand. The way you are doing it would ROCK. But unfortunately there are no multi-point hands. |

1000 hands would be 7500 points approx? [/ QUOTE ] No (see my above post). |

Oops, i mixed up the tournament juice and the cash game rake. You do still get the multiplier for Supernova though, so its 3.5 points per raked hand, so pretty much 900k hands.

A friend of mine is considering playing solely on stars. My question is,what would it take to achieve the 3,000,000 points required for this. He 8 tables 3-6 to 10-20 playing around 30 hours a week. How long would this take? If calculations have been already made a link would be great.I tried searching but nothing came up. thanks. [/ QUOTE ] 8-tabling full-ring (I'm assuming) should be perhaps 450 VPP/hr. So this might be 13.5k VPP per week. We'll assume that he sticks to a straight schedule of 30 hours per week. So once he reaches platinum he's going to stay there (and not take 2 months off and fall back to bronze). First 100,000 raked-hands (VPP) = 242,250 FPP I believe. 3000000-242250 = 2,757,750 left to go once he hits supernova. This is another 787929 VPP. So 888,000 VPP in total approximately. 888000/13500 At 13.5k VPP's/wk he could (generously) get there in 66 weeks. Probably closer to 70-75 weeks realistically. I may have been optimistic on number of raked-hands per hour. Of course, he'll be able to determine fairly quickly if he's getting 450VPP/hour and/or 13.5VPP/week. |

If you mean 900k RAKED-hands then you are pretty much correct (I came up with about 888k so we're close enough).
But it's not just 900k total hands. They have to be raked. |

900k hands seems more like it.
This would be under 2 years. I don't need exact calculations just a good idea of what it would take. So is 900k hands close enough? |

Raked hands.I see.So at those limits 3-6 to 10-20 what percentage of the hands get raked on stars?

Thanks MB,I missed your detailed post.You too Doc thanks.
I have a good enough idea now. |
