Once you reach Supernova, you maintain that status for the entire next year.

Maybe I'll blog the whole thing.

Then next year I'll surely be ready for 200NL!

Is this new? The last time I checked you still needed to get 10k vpp/month to keep it and could only miss one month. I hope they changed it.

Also, pokerboy, I would think that you ould move up to NL200 and do something like 35 hour weeks of 20 tabling and be able to hae like 4 weeks off and still get SNE. I haven't done the math, but it seems like it would be far far easier there.

I'm 99% sure you're wrong.

When you reach supernova, you are a supernova for the rest of THAT year.

Next year, you will maintain that status as long as you get 10K VPP per month, and you are given two "free months." Once you pass 100K VPP's for the year, you are supernova for the rest of the year again, and the cycle begins.

I'm considering a run at Elite next year playing 100NL.

I'm 20-tabling pretty easily and can get ~1300 hands/hr, which translates to ~475VPP/hr, which would put me at ~42 hours a week.

Thoughts?

EDIT to ADD: This includes 2 weeks of not playing at all for vacation.

why not actually try to get good @ poker, and move up to limits where you can make a lot of money? you seen to be willing to commit the time to become a good player, but you want to stay @ 100nl?


this, along with the permanent 1/2-2/4 FPP pros confuses the [censored] out of me, and probably always will. yes, if you move up you can lose a lot and go near-busto/busto, but if your any good, and are determined you will make it back.

<<< Bankroll nit!

I invest a good chunk of my monies and don't leave myself too much of a poker bankroll (which probably ends up costing me $$$ in lost profits).

[1p0kerboy]

I think I'm going to put "check-raises flop" stat back up on my HUD.

I like the line of checking the flop and then bluff-raising the turn against these types of villians.

Of course, if they were smart they would concentrate on playing in position more rather than OOP.

[Grinding2Ecstasy]

I personally hate the 'call preflop, check-call dry flop, then lead on blank turn' that villains seem to do a lot lately.
