Official 2009 Supernova Elite pursuit thread

Not having to clear the 28k VPPs seems like the biggest difference, although at this point in the year many people are grinding regularly enough to clear it quickly.

Yes, but most people hate the clearing requirement so opt to take the money instantly by sending PS a receipt. If Stars lowers the clearing requirement to something more easily attainable like say 12-15K VPPS, they would see a direct effect on the number of concierge requests. Most would rather take the bonus instead of using concierge, but use (or abuse) concierge because it can takes weeks to get your $ taking the bonus. Most can clear a 12-15K requirement in less than 2 weeks (some a few days) which is the equivalent time to using concierge service.

For the Free entry to selected major tourneys, do they credit the money to your account? Say you choose EPT Monte Carlo which I beleive has the highest cash value. Do they credit all of the money to your account where then you would still have the option not to play and keep the cash? Or do they auto buy you in and you are required to go and play?

just broke 50k, upping my quota to 6k vpp a day cuz 5k has been too easy so far. That should put me at about a tad under 40 hours a week which is perfect.

You must play, you just get the spending money for EPT and PCA etc. only WSOP main Event will give you the cash credited to your account because they cant buy you into the Main Event

you sir are not mistaken, unless they are changing it so that you keep it for a full year!

[Min4BetU]

As long as I am at 100k VPPs on the year by July 1st I can't lose it though right?

That's up to you isnt it? If you live in the same town then I'd imagine not.
