What's your SN?

The FPP calculator thing says if I 6 table 30 hrs/week, avg. stake 15/30, I'd make 93+ VPPs/month, which is enough for SNE, and easily so if Stars again does the 100k VPP bonus for winning a WSOP ME seat, can somebody who has done this at these stakes confirm?

You should probably ask TPiranha or check out his blog.

I can happily confirm that games are still alive and kicking in 2010

I'd hate to talk you into filling up seats at my tables, but it's about 1.8 VPP/hand at 10/20+, which is like 900 VPP/hour 6-tabling. So 30 hours will get you 27k VPP, or over 100k/month. So yeah, you could grind 6 tables of mid-stakes and get SNE pretty comfortably. Well, "comfortably".

FWIW, I'm at 7324 VPP after Day 1.

moving up to 10/20 this year doesn't sound much fun with all you guys grinding for sne there. in fact, it really makes me not want to move up.
01-02-2010 , 03:31 AM
what has the new vpp system done to stakes 3/6 to 10/20? does someone have the amount for each limit?

haha, wow, sick head start, and thanks for this post.

I think I'm going to be in your games anyway, even if I don't go for SNE, because 6 figure monthly swings are kinda sick for me at the moment. Until now I didn't think it was possible to lose almost 200k in a month, gonna be hard to do that at 10 and 15 and 30 even if I mega tilt

I feel like I've played a bunch and I only have 2500 VPPs, geez.

GiantBuddha I noticed you said you wasn't going to look at the cashier for 10 days, how do you buy in on a table without seeing your balance?

I try and use the old squinting method but it's hard to remember every time
01-02-2010 , 08:52 AM
it might seem like im trolling. But I am not. If full tilt doesnt give me rakeback I am going to destroy 3/6-5/10 limit on pokerstars. Be aware...be aware

hey guys, i'm pretty sure at least some of u guys have noticed me at the tables... am i really bad at LHE? just seems like i never have anymore winning sessions

just wanted to ask a few questions if you guys don't mind answering:

how helpful were these things to your games?

1) cardrunner vids? i've watched a few from schneids and tryptamean, found them fairly entertaining, but obviously the games they play (10/20 and 15/30, or some lower limit games on FTP) are very different from the 2/4, 3/6, and 5/10 games on stars. i thought i was becoming a calling station after trying to apply the ideas to my game tbh.

2) what books would u guys recommend reading? i have a few of them including supersystem 2, small stakes holdem by sklansky, and winning shorthanded strategies/advanced limit holdem strategies by barry tanenbaum. any others that may help for learning LHE?
01-02-2010 , 08:57 AM
Stox and DC has more small stakes vids, check out those.
Burn those books and buy the Stox book that's the only relevant literature on online lhe today.
I remember playing some hands with you but I my memory sucks so I have no reads yet.
01-02-2010 , 08:58 AM
are a lot of players using game theory in limit at 3/6+??
01-02-2010 , 09:01 AM
lol i hope you are leveling
Edit: sick ninja edit. too bad you erased that post it was hilarious
and no I don't think many players use gto strategies in 3/6 lol and they shouldn't, either
