In and going for it. I've just switched to Stars from FTP, and have never put in nearly this much volume. I'll be playing mainly 200PLO, with the whole 50 weeks of 20k VPPs plan. But I'm aiming for 100K+ VPPs in January.
Gotta couple prop bets on whether I accomplish it too, and I'm getting 3:1 (so my friends really think I have no chance).
Aiming to have 1M VPPs by 1st October so I don't lose it then, finishing on 1.25M. Tempted to go further but I doubt it's worth it for me, it would have a negative impact on my game for sure. 250 days of 5k VPPs, easy. Going to try to stick to peak times this year too, rather than a haphazard approach of playing whenever.
Agree with MellowYellow re:laptops, although I've been thinking about getting a proper monitor etc to plug my laptop into when I'm not moving around. I've got 1920x1080 15" screen, 4gb RAM, core i5 processor etc. I'll get an SSD at somepoint in the near future.
Holy **** there is a $20,000 stellar reward for 1 FPP at 1 M VPPs this year that did not exist last year. I thought we were anticipating SNE to be worth about the same in 2011. Don't get your hopes up yet, I certainly could have miscalculated or missed something. Is that stellar reward in place of two 10 K tourney buyins? Someone please clarify.
Sigh. I guess the Store has updated for 2011 but the Site has not yet, so the stellar rewards bonus appeared in the client and the tourney buy-ins still appeared as a bonus on the site. Your explanation makes sense. Thanks.
I'm assuming we still get the buy-in to the WCOOP ME? Any other bonuses I am missing then besides stellar rewards, FPP bonuses, and the WCOOP ME?
Spent most of december planning, training, studying and getting my setup ready to give to this a shot only to wake up and find out that the Hypers changed their buyin and structure, I dont think I can make it the way they are now so I guess its time to think about another plan to achieve SNE this year....fml.
