Microbob, so basically the concierge service beats the supernova cash back bonus 1.65c to 1.5c per fpp?

yes it does.

So you can use the concierge service and tell them to put $3,000 into your pokerstars account?

Please note that Concierge service is only available to Supernovas, but yes...if you use the Concierge service, you can do a couple things. First, (at a rate of 62 FPPs per $1, you can Email VIP support and have them buy you something (like Giftcards to pretty much anywhere).

OR

You can submit receipts for something you purchased yourself (like new flooring, or a new boat, or a weekend of live tourneys at your local casino). If you did this method, they will take your receipts and the FPPs from your account, and put the cash into your PS acct.

I know it says $3000+ in the FPP store, but I believe they actually accommodate anything $500+.

GOT IT!

I am first?

Congrats Rennwurm for being the 1st player to earn 100,000 VPPs in 2008.

Most impressive first post ever?

So sick, he's such a breakeven/bad 1/2 player lol

WOW

I think these type of posts are totally out of line.

True. There is no need for that. And, even if the guy beats the game for 0.1BB/100 he's still going to clear 100K+ this year.

Congrats Rennwurm!

Not all of the SNE were winners last year. Elky dropped ~ $200K in the pursuit at high stakes SNGs and HU games.

Who cares about the winrate? 100K VPP are worth about 10 000$ so he basically made 10000$ playing NL 1/2 in 18 days...
I think he can easily go to 2 Million+ and make at least 200K$

Very impressive Renn, I've been wondering who the person way out in front this whole time has been.

It's a marathon and not a sprint though. I'm in 8th place in that update, but I can't imagine not being one of the first 5 to hit elite. Perhaps the 7 people in front of me have even less of a life than I do though.

If by "1.65" you meant "1.612" then you are correct.

In Norway you can get up to about 2c/fpp when you buy electronics.


Sorry my bad english.

not sure if he is going to maintain that pace or not.
But you are correct that $10k in 18 days is roughly what he has made in total point value and that ain't too shabby for a supposedly 'break-even' player.

congrats renn!!

the shadow's SNG forum post years ago is still the best first post ever.

How does 100k vpp = $10,000?

Link?

tonyG - if you make Elite at 1-million points you get roughly $100k overall.

Link?

'cuz its gotta be pretty good to beat that ^
