Default Re: Brag: Elky Will Hit Super Nova Elite...

I was thinking about it myself today.

Just how much value is the Elite VIP level?

Presumably it means you get a better rakeback equivilent, but at what cost if the dude is gonna drop 6 figs to get there?

Also, didnt someone say he is a member of team pokerstars so doesnt he get something juicy along the lines of 100% rakeback anyway?

He's losing a little bit by dropping 6 figures getting there but not much.

$20K here
$2,000 at 200,000 VPP (10,000 Base FPPs to clear)
$3,000 at 300,000 VPP (15,000 Base FPPs to clear)
$4,000 at 400,000 VPP (20,000 Base FPPs to clear)
$5,000 at 500,000 VPP (25,000 Base FPPs to clear)
$7,500 at 750,000 VPP (37,500 Base FPPs to clear)

He could get 30-40 of these for +$50K
$1,500 for 100,000 FPPs
Or
The porsche or austin martin which are worth more than 50K

Also
$10K entry to WSOP
$15K+ entry to EPT Monte Carlo event
$2500 WCOOP ME entry

you don't make many FPP's from highstakes cash games??

I think last december I played 20 straight days of pretty hardcore 3/6 through 5/10 and made like 80,000 VPP's or 284,000 FPP's

The thing is Elky thinks he's +ev in a lot of games he's not so he thinks he's getting a ton of FPPS and making money but only one is true.

FWIW these are my thoughts on Elky

Decent MTT player a winner but nothing special

A very bad sng player I don't think he's' +ev in anything above 60 he might be a marginal winner at the 114s.

I've never seen him play HU sngs but from all accounts/sharkscope he seems awful.

A very good cash player who can beat games up to 10/20 for a decent clip.

He would be much better at every game if he didn't 12 table them at the same time.
