Official 2010 Supernova Elite pursuit thread - Page 399 - Internet Poker

Supernova Elite VIPs at EPT London this week are getting some extra treats.

All SNEs in attendance have been invited to a special Supernova Elite meal tonight during the day 1B dinner break. PokerStars is picking up the tab for each SNE and their guest. Team PokerStar Pro member Ville Wahlbeck will be hosting the meal.

Supernova Elites are also receiving their 'Six Star' cards in recognition of their membership in the most elite level of the VIP Program. Card benefits will be offered at some (but not all) live events. At EPT London, each SNE is receiving a coupon for a free massage during the tournament, paid for by PokerStars (including tip). A Six Star card must be shown to redeem the coupon.

Finally, there is a VIP exclusive satellite to EPT Barcelona with significant overlay. This LIVE 16-man HU tournament offers a gauranteed EPT Barcelona package plus £4,000 for the runner-up and £2,000 each for 3rd and 4th place. Entry is £400+£0. Supernova Elite VIPs will have exclusive registration rights until Friday, October 1st at which point the tournament will be opened up to Supernova VIPs. See T#313709094 in the PokerStars lobby for registration.

what if you were a SNE who was there but wasnt playing in the event, would you still get all of this?

wow no more clearing bonuses is really nice. I hope micro stakes grinders realize how sick is a 10x vpp, I would go nuts if it was 2005.

i think their entire RB system is simply make it too confusing for anyone to actually know what is going on, add a cool name and a plastic card.

i think the best thing it did was actually for stars players as stars had a miny sweat and gave us a couple of perks.

Steve,

Regarding the new VIP Reward Bonus policy from the VIP Store.

If a player is currently in the early stages of clearing a recently purchased bonus when the new program takes effect, Oct. 1, what happens???

Thanks!

If the player doesn't email, nothing happens.

QFT, you were probably talking SH though.

at this point i can say i would definitely want contributed rake over dealt.

Steve,

are there any talks about any changes in that in the future?

I tried nitting it up this last week or so after PTR had that article about how stars rakeback program is geared towards nitting up....and I lost pretty effin badly.

Was running at like 14/12 at 6m and i got crushed...dont know how but i did. So back to normal playing and actually winning money...

Based on my nitting results, i say the more nits the better

He'd need to email in to vipclub@, that's the only way I can post this information in public.
