Hey my name is Jase, 23 from Aus. Creating this thread in hopes of giving me more motivation and keeping me on track to success!The main goal may seem pretty dull too most but for me it will be a big achievement!

Goal:
Supernova 100kVPP by the end of the year

Games:
25nl 6max CAP
$3.75 6max HYPER SATTY


Current VPP:
4,766/100k

After doing some calculations, I need too maintain 288 VPP a day for the rest of the year, I won't have too worry about moving up to achieve this as I feel playing these stakes I can maintain this level of VPPS a day. I'll update each day with a graph of each game for the day and how many VPP earned.
Cheers!

Here we go again, The good news still on track the bad news about break even since the start of the challenge so far, looking to aim for a slight win rate so I have brought the short stack package and a few coaching sessions. Stuck using my laptop as my computer got destroyed by lighting so only can manage 12 tables on here with out it crashing. Feeling pretty confident in playing more tables specially with table ninja on the go. So once I get a new computer the next goal will be to aim for 24 tabling and the VPPS will be rolling in. This whole year is not aim at making any real money but more too setting a routine, putting in volume, learn the ins and out of CAP poker and pretty much setting my self up for SNE in 2016 or 2017 depending if all goes too plan.

Day 2
VPP: 297

Here we go its been one week since the start of this challenge, As promised ill load up the graph from the week and be warned its not pretty. I have learnt alot this week, pretty much I am a fish and got a ton too learn. I have taken it upon my self too hire Lorin who a cap game specialist too get my game on par because right now I am proper sh*t and if I keep this play up it will be a very costly year. As for the weekly VPP goal I did achieve the current pace at 288 a day, So thumbs up too that one positive out of the week. Also been playing on my laptop due to the computer getting murdered by a lighting storm so hopefully some time this week the insurance company delivers a new one and then ill be able to play with 2 screens and no lag, Each session was 6 - 12 tables max as the laptop could not handle anymore so as soon as the computer gets here ill be able to hammer alot more tables and really pick up the VPP pace

Week 2 goals
- Maintain the average 288 VPP + a day
- Have the EV line at the end of the week at $0 or above
- Gym 5 times
- 30 min of study before or after a session, I know its small but if I was too say ill do 2 hours a day then thats a lie because I am not a fan of studying

Total VPP:
6790/100k

Hopefully this new week a lot better, Here the poor graph

Back again after a slack few days of not playing much and doing some thinking it's time to switch things up and go a new game plan. Still focusing on getting super nova, but cutting out the cap games as they are just not working out, it's time to focus on 6max hypers, as they are much easier to multi table and generate vpps. The plan is to start at the $3.50 level, buy a video package on the hypers, then hopefuly atleast break even for a few weeks then try and score a staking deal.

Currently on 7873 VPPs for the year, I have fallen a little bit off pace and will now have to set the bench mark at 293 VPP a day to reach super nova by the end of the year, I feel this is very do able and specially if I can score a staking deal at some point through out the year. I will also change my updates by adding in a graph at the end of each day. In terms of games around 300 a day of the $3.50 will see me reach my daily goal. Lets do it boys! smash these goals

Total VPP
7873

Start the day off with 5am gym then bodyboard down at the beach, then I'll kick start the grind around lunch time hopefully put in around 6 hours of solid grinding as I got the Saturday and Sunday shift at the casino it will set me back but hopefully with some time management I can still nail the 300vpp let's hope for another day of run gooood!

Why do you want to get supernova ? I have always been strugling with this question as I wanted to get it myself.
Eventually I decided to try and get better and play on more sites. I could get sn on stars, but I would probably b/e at the tables.
At the end of the day it's all about hourly.

I never really put in any consistent grinds or anything so I feel if I can start a small goal and achieve super nova it will allow me in the coming years to aim for SNE which is a long shot because I am still at the beginning of the road, As much of a small and easy target this looks achieving super nova but for some one like me I get distracted so easy and lose motivation so its more of a learning curve for me and not soo much the money. That's why I will be happy with a break even year as it wont cost me anything and I'll learn a ton.
Cheers!

Yesterday ended up being not a lot of grinding but a very active day that started with the gym, bodyboarding and then tennis. After all 3 activates I ended up very sore and sun burn so it lead too a piss weak of a grind and me passing out early. Today I won't be playing, just gym and a 10 hour shift at the casino, Chinese new year is in so should be a busy day on the roulette and black jack tables should be fun, might play around with sit n go wizard when I get home but that's about as close to a grind ill get today.

Just realized there is only 7 days left of this month as it finishes on the 28th ffs and I still need another 1846 VPP to get too Plat star for the month which means I need 263 a day so pressure on boys going to be a nail biter be pissed if I don't make it.

Boys lack of updates this week but here we go only a few positives have came out of this week the main one we have reached Plat star so sorry to the guy in the free roll but I have lost a arm and leg getting there so that leads me to too think what game do I want too play, I am very indecisive atm on what to do.

I may forget the Supernova grind and focus on the $2.50 180 mans and profit, but I will still prob lose at that but what ever game I pick starting tomorrow I will stick with it and get coaching.

Ill leave this here and come back tomorrow with a new set of goals and mind set!
