just posted something in a different thread and missed this one... i can't figure it out but can anyone tell me a couple of things please....

how many hands roughly of 1/2 6max would it take to get to supernova starting from nothing/bronze?

when i get there, how much would i have earned in total from all the bonuses and milestons?

is stars rigged?

thanks!

With better health and a better grinding office I should make SN this year and not fail epically like I did last.

Only have ever been Platinum for one, maybe two months before, but I'm pretty confident I can do Supernova this year considering my change in game type/stake.

Plenty of good regs/winning players have had downswings of $4-$5k in the 12/180s.

The milestone is $200. It only costs 1 fpp. The fpp value saved is equal to $800. So basically, nothing has changed.

Not gonna set unrealistic targets because I'm quite happy playing $12 180s and $55 mtts, but I think I can maintain SN and hit the 100k mark by end of July if I push myself a bit.

GL and happy grinding everyone!

There used to be a $1,000 Milestone that cost 50,000 FPPs. There is now a $200 VIP Stellar Reward that costs 1 FPP. For many players the added value of the Stellar Reward is the same or similar to the added value of the Milestone from last year.

just don't go broke and i bet you could do it if you are motivated a little bit.

thanks, and i am motivated, i can play upto 6 hours a day but just 16 tables i think, once i get to 250br im gona maybe go to 10NL buying in for 50bb.... that shud help alot... my profit in past has been bad in cash games, but multitabling and playing alot better that shud change, then hope to be playing 25NL near end of year.

All Supernova VIPs can use 50,000 FPPs for $806.45 in value through the concierge service. There are a lot of ways to spend FPPs on tournament tickets where the 50,000 FPPs will be worth $800 or almost exactly $800. You could also buy a larger 250,000 FPP bonus where the 50,000 FPPs would translate into $800, or a smaller bonus where they would be worth less.

All in all, the vast majority of Supernova VIPs will get $800 in value from their 50,000 FPPs or very close to it.
