*** Official 2014 uFR Pokerstars Regs Thread (NSFW) *** - Page 4 - Micro Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

Was expecting some cool promo this year like they had last year. I got 1k vpps for my supernova, which was cool but pointless. I'm def expecting more carrots to get my grind on. Help me help you pokerstars.

+1

Last year had some real nice races to SN 100/200/300k...

1000vpp without the value of fpp's is not what i cool a good deal.

1000 VPPs for a supernova is not much but the extra VPPs might push some chrome stars to get silver star, silver star to get gold star, etc. That's a good deal for me.

I'd be pretty happy if my employer told me they'd given me a bonus of 3 days off.

Might do one myself towards the end of the month if im on target for my January goals.

No point in me starting up one if i just blow up after 15k hands and shout obscenities at everyone.

haha that's basically how i view it as well, think ill leave it for now.

For first time supernovas this is worth $16 if you play the same amount because you'll get your VPP multiplier increased earlier.

This.

I'm very happy stars have done this. Obviously if they had given us the FPPS as well that would have been better but it's still a good thing to do for the micro/small stakes guys who plan on getting exactly 100k/200k/300k VPPS for the year.

I'm still waiting as well, Hap.

Got this mail last night (5-6 hours after entering the code), so I guess they are recieved by now, they are probably just busy.

Dear BreakYouNuts,

Congratulations on earning 750 yearly VPPs and your first VIP Stellar Reward!

Does anyone know if one also get FPP's and will they be multiplied according to ones VIP status?

To all the higher volume players ..

If you play 7k+ hands a day, how much thought goes into individual session ?

Do you really care if your showing profit, what do you actually focus on ?

How distracted are you by normal variance etc and what tips would you give to someone that would like to attempt that kind of volume.

Just interested in the routine they have mastered and what little things make it easier.

Posting funny cat for laughs.
