If he forgot the action, wouldn't he have just donked the flop? Chez clearly realizes that HU specialists are notoriously weak-tight and is expertly exploiting him.

I wonder what's up with this charging 37 cents thing, your mom asked for the same amount. Family tradition?

You are probably best off posting this in BBV, and mention that you wont be short stacking nl to get the 500k.

also it's no where near close to "get 50% more rakeback" even whilst you do maintain it. "bare" SNE is gonna be around 40% rakeback, compared to 28% 'bare' SN rakeback. You start accruing milestones from the bottom again, so it's only worth 1.43x what SN is worth (5x compared to 3.5x) whilst you can maintain SNE.

Most of the value (and all the 70-80% rakeback quoted) are for hitting the milestones. Unless maintaining SNE in to the next year, the additional bonuses of 'next year' isn't that great than from starting from scratch. I doubt "deciding" to lose 30k over 2 months to go from 800k VPPs to 1m VPPs is worthwhile.

Just saw this in the SNE Thread in the Zoo.

"For anyone needing motivation or feeling like they might come up short for elite....

Value for Supernova going from 800k to 1m

200k vpp x 3.5 fpp's= 700k fpp- value ($11.2k)
2 Live tourney's or 1 Tourney + 10k cash - value ($20k-$25k)
Online WCOOP ME ($5k)
5 times muliplier for following year instead of 3.5- value is dependent on play but @ 80k vpp's/month thats an extra 2k per month for 10 months- possibly more ($20+)

Grand total $56.2k+

Pretty much the same value of going from 0-800k but one forth the work!!!

If you ever were to earn another 200k vpp's later you just lost out on $30k+"

I am probably going to finish around 700k VPPs. But if I grind 200k hands in December, I am just going to hate poker by 2011 and spend zero time studying. I dunno if that is worth 65k. After getting roughed up for most of the year, I am really enjoying poker again and want to keep this feeling going for as long as I can.

Right, we're kinda just rehashing it all again, this is pretty much what's been covered above. $20-30k in tourney packages (some of it cash) + whatever you value with the 14% increase in rakeback next year whilst you maintain SNE.

(I didn't count the 11k you make in rakeback going from 800k-1m as that's just normal 30%, 3.5x VPP rakeback that you'll get any time)

So I'm still sticking by my statement that 'planning to drop 30k to get to 1million' is not a good deal to take

omg yay kinda crappy session -50BB and then im like hmmmm just clicking around

301k VPPs

So I bought my bonus and it turns out I had a 550BB day. =D

I think that deserves a huge piece of pie(piss of pee?) and some nomlicious pumpkin ice cream

Maybe I should play 4k hands a day so I can hit the 400k bonus and still have days off for holidays
