supernova visual recognition

[TheEye]

ps states they have plans to introduce vr for sn...will it be of any benefit to sn or other players?

you may give reasons.

When did they state this? IIRC, they considered it about a year ago but decided it might not be such a hot idea.

They mention it in the info page about being Supernova. Could be just old and never update info.

I don't really care either way. I'd slightly lean toward doing it personally but I figure most SNs would prefer not doing it.

[TheEye]

stated on the website as said(maybe it is old and never got updated)...what i was interested in finding out mostly was whether limit players would actually prefer to be recognized as they are more inclined to getting people off hands early on as pot odds are in favour of drawing hands in such situations...

[Henry17]

The players who would be affected by knowing someone's supernova status already know it. I'm pretty sure the 8-9 people I have 10-30k hands against in 3 months are supernovas. The fish though wouldn't care.

You don't think the fish would prefer to sit out tables with less SuperNovas? I think some would (but certainly not all).

[Henry17]

I don't think they are really that smart. If they were they wouldn't play 50-90% of their hands. I don't think they engage in any type of table selection.

The loss would be with respect to weaker players who are learning and improving but still not very good. They would probably avoid the SNs.

At peak hours they might be able to avoid them but the SNs would be multi-tabling and be on the vast majority of tables so hard to escape them.

Does it matter? Does being a SN mean you are a great poker player or just play thousands of hands daily and earn a crap load of FPPs?

I think you are under estimating the "fish"..The "fish" would view a SN as a "pro" and would not want to be taken advantage of by a "pro"...

kew - exactly.

I can already see it in the chat-box, "All you idiots who sit here and play all day to get SN. It's obvious who Stars is setting up the hands for."

etc etc.

I want many of the newer fish to think that I might be playing for the first time too. Telling them, "you don't play that much and this guy plays ALL the freaking time" will only serve to intimidate them.

I have a friend IRL who is kind of fishy at 35/7 or so. If he truly knew or saw the number of full-timers he was playing with I think it would intimidate him.
