Heart
Poopy

just read your blog, already found an eff up in post uno:

I use these VPPs to earn money. For example, every 250,000 vpps I earn, I get myself a 4K bonus.

You are at least a 2 time SNE and still dont know VPP and FPP? comeon MAN! you earn 4k bonus ever 50k VPPs yo! Also all your 'kisses' in the blog make me feel uncomfortable and insecure.

GL on your blog

And to thisisgeorge run good in month 1

I am in this year; at least if January goes as planned. I want to make sure I can handle the hours I will need to put in while still graduating from law school. I am also considering writing a blog, because let's face it, I am way more entertaining than 99% of all you boring grinders.

$60 and $114 SNGs. I need to make sure I am still +ev pre-rakeback at that level because I know $114s have gotten very difficult. I want to play my normal MTT schedule on Sundays, too.

January is my test-run. I have never accumulated more than 105,000 VPPs, so this could be interesting. I graduate in May and will likely move to a poker house in the summer, so I just need to do the best I can until then.

I got 7500 VPPs today. I thought about keeping my quest private until I know I can handle the volume (the end of January), but I think external pressure/ridicule could be good for my bottom line.

like i said earlier, i'll be off pace for at least a couple months because of pca/moving into a new house/baby due in feb.

obv i'll still get elite but who knows how much farther i'll go after that. i never make goals this early in the year anyway.

can anyone tell me how many rounds or say minutes I can sitout at tables to take a break or go to the toilet?

Also how do I know how many VPP I earn when playing certain tourneys?

also for some reason my hand really hurts so I am thinking about getting a new mousepad and MAYBE mouse, but the current one is the best ive ever had so far.

Any recommendations? I just have a flat mousepad, maybe there is something super nice to buy? I also have a razor one for comp games but didnt like it at all.

I have this one:

This is my 3rd time going for sne and last year i made it 10 times harder then it actually had to be. I bought a new house and car in middle of the year so i spent a lot of money didn't think much of it because i was winning and bonuses were coming in. Well when i lost my sne in october milestones are about done and bonuses come a lot slower so when i started losing i had to drop down a few times and made the grind so much harder. I won't have this problem this year mainly because i won't be making big purchases but also i'm going to save FPPS just in case this time. So save a couple 4k bonuses worth of fpps just in case

here's my "everything you need to know to make SNE" post. The only thing it won't tell you how to do is play poker.

http://heynotilt.blogspot.com/2011/0...ova-elite.html

yes, shameless plug, but probably helpful for anyone chasing for the first time

I don't think it says for individual tournaments but this is how it is calculated:

Quote:

In PokerStars tournaments, you earn points based on the entry fee. You receive VPPs at the rate of 5.5 VPPs (and corresponding FPPs) for each $1.00 USD in fee paid, or 8 VPPs (and corresponding FPPs) for each €1.00 EUR in fee paid. Fractional VPPs will be awarded in hundredths.

* For example, if you play a tournament which costs $10+$1 to enter, $10 goes into the prize pool, and $1 is the entry fee. You earn 5.5 VPPs for each $1 USD in entry fees, so you would receive 5.5 VPPs for playing this event.

I think there was a discussion about mice in the previous thread and rotating between two different ones, if you do a search in that thread you should be able to find it.

You are almost def holding the mouse wrong, as i do. If you are holding it correct you should never ever have problems.

I feel like if my mousepad would be a bit higher it should be better.
