Official 2009 Supernova Elite pursuit thread

[Mikka]

there are still satellites on Jan 3rd and 4th for the next 50k freeroll




they should at least get rid of them or raise the prize pool

[SFCellman]

Just passed the 7000 VPP mark... feeling good.

[driverseati]

8232 vpps after my latest sesh just now, i feel like i need to build a huge cushion because i'm going to live donkaments and that takes away grinding time (esp wsop)

I have absolutely no way of knowing at all and neither does anyone else really. Just play what you want and/or what you think will be the most profitable for you.

I do know that most people vastly overestimate the amount of time they can dedicate themselves to cranking it out at the poker tables. So if you are starting the year and saying, "Hey...it's just 47 hours per week so I'll just dedicate myself to 7 hours every single day and that's not so bad" then your burn-out factor is going to be high and hit you fairly quick.

So if maybe 1.5M is likely stretching it for you but you think 1M is more realistic I might suggest taking the easier route I guess? But again, I have no idea what would work better for you or what games you're better at or how much you might end up losing if you burn-out playing too long and on too many tables, etc etc.

Since I kind of burnt out this year and fell short of Elite for the 2nd year in a row I'm probably not the person to be giving the best answer on this anyway even if I had an answer to give you.

I believe my year-end total was something like 800,002.

I fell behind pace which was my fault of course and then I just happened to get offered an awesome opportunity in late October to return to sports broadcasting that I just couldn't pass up. I knew that accepting likely meant I was passing up several thousand $$ in value I would have gotten for making Elite but this was something I really wanted to do and I'm really glad I didn't turn down this offer just for Eliteo. First place Wheeling Nailers are 20-6-5!!!

[IanB000]

13k vpp with no effort so far i think im just going for 1.5 mil

[jnfpoker]

SNGs Played: 240 , Total Hands: 11,533 , Total Hours: 13.1 , Total VPP: 7265

Trying to get 100K VPP for January. Running and/or playing badly already, doesn't look promising.
