Nice job borys.

at 580k, did 32k vpps in last week breakeven in profit.....for those of you in the same boat here is the breakdown of how much it is worth for you to hate your life for the next 13 weeks to keep ya motivated.....I have to average 32k vpps a week to hit it and don't have anything goin on the rest of the year except napt LA in nov. for a week. If I can do this at breakeven for the rest of the year it is worth 7k/wk for me and 90k. Def. gonna put in the time for this amount of money.

1.5 million fpps= 24k
milestone 600k, 700k, 800k=15k
pca, 10k cash= 25k
wcoop main= 5k
multiplier for next year= 20k

total= 90k
90k/13= 7k a week

4,500 vpps day
32,000 week

I have a little google docs spreadsheet that I do this in automatically - I just enter my start and finish VPP and it tells me my VPP/day that I need to keep in order to make it.

Unfortunately, that number is currently 8608.15.

208k

And btw, how stupid is tableninja that it doesn't work at all if their servers are down? >_<

Just got done playing on 40-100bb tables for the first time in a while and i actually enjoyed poker again. Then the vpp whore in me just had to look at my vpp rate and it's 1.0 lower then 20-50 tables. It's either enjoy poker again and play a lot more per day or hate poker and grind the 20-50

PokerStars would like to announce two changes to VIP Club Rewards effective October 1st. These changes are made after listening to input from players here on 2+2 and elsewhere.

Effective October 1st, VIP Reward Bonuses purchased from the VIP Store will instantly reward players with cash. In the past, players had to earn VPPs equal to 7 times the dollar amount of the bonus prior to the reward being credited to their account. This requirement will be removed.

Also, starting October 1st, NL and PL ring games at limits up to and including $0.05/$0.10 will earn VPPs at rates faster than other stakes. The new rates will last at least through December 31st, 2010.

$0.01/$0.02: 12X
$0.02/$0.05: 10X
$0.05/$0.10: 8X

These rates will be reflected at new tables created as of October 1st. Older tables awarding the previous VPP rates may still exist until the next server restart. Note that the 10X multiplier from the MicroMania promotion in July was continued unannounced and is still in effect, so the 'older' tables are awarding 10X VPPs.

NL/PL ring games at other stakes will continue to award VPPs as normal. All Fixed Limit games, including stakes that have been awarding 10X since July, will also award VPPs at normal rates. Some older Fixed Limit tables up to and including $0.10/$0.20 may continue to award VPPs at 10X until the next server restart. The normal VPP rates for ring games are:

8+ seats: 6X
7- seats: 5.5X

Thank you for your continued involvement in helping PokerStars to better serve their customers.

the change isnt a huge deal, obv helps a little. i think for sne stars should offer a biigger bonus with better rate. idk if this has been recommended, but seems unfair that a guy with 100k vpp and 1mirrion get same bonus rate.

i just re-applied for uni after having quit 4 years ago to do this whole poker thing.

ideally i want to do a combined law degree, but i have no freaking idea what to do it with.

my thoughts are:

law/economics
law/IT
law/business

anyone have advice on what will be better suited in the corporate world / in terms of getting a job / boosting my career?

i don't have a specific interest in any of the above other than law. there are all sorts of options (law/international studies, law/arts, law/applied finance, etc) and as long as i get into a "combined law" degree i can choose whichever i want when i start next year.

any lawyers (or law students) out there?
