Quest for NOVA, 53k points in 20 days

Here is some stats. I have played 8 tables of 5 10 for about 3-5 hours each of those 3 days. I am down 83 dollars. I have accumulated 13k base points and around 30k regular points for platinum level.

How did you get so many VPP's? 13K on three days is quite a lot.
Imagine if you played 5 hours a day on 8 tables and 100 hands per tables: 100 hands * 8 tables * 3 days * 5 hours = 12000 hands. All hands are raked so they're all 1VPP. But this is if you actually played 5 hours. If you play arround 3-5 hours a day that's 4 in average which makes it:

100 hands * 8 tables * 3 days * 4 hours = 9600

I'm really looking up to the guys that actually play so much. It's incredible to play so many hands in such a short time. I wouldn't be able to do it. I read in another thread that stars has like over 300 supernovas. That's really impressive.

Good luck with your quest

2 VPP's if $2 rake on 6-max or $3 rake on full-ring.

So your calculations aren't quite accurate.

But you are still correct that so many VPP's in such a short time is pretty impressive.

impressive and burning out.

Not only playing 4 hours a day online but also 6 hours a day live poker. I am taking this weekend off from live poker and going to only play online. I might hit 29k points this weekend alone.

I will be doing 8-10 tables of 5 10 and 10 20 for 6 hours a day. Hopefully I will hit nova by sunday.

I am burning out. I cant wait to take a break.

27 to go and getting a little tierd. I'll make it though.
4k hands today so far and down 1 buyin. Poor me.

The month is half gone and I'm at the halfway mark. It's gunna be sick close. 26k to go. Also, I only play breakeven poker now, which sucks.

I began my own quest at the start of the month with about 44k to go.

I have roughly 8k left and will be done this weekend.
