It's not always instantaneous like Fulltilt, but it seems to register within 10 to 15 seconds when it isn't.

May make a run at it if I can build a roll to move up. 1,114.89

I took it easy and put a short session in today. im going to start off slow and get myself used to a 5 day work week again. good luck all

Steve, what is the approx. percentage of choosing the packages if it is publuc? i think at least 50% chhosing 10K + 1 package.
and really surprising that is only low number of sne's received the 50K... that means that only ~10 sne's played on main event? or all others just didn't wear the logo?

(compare it to the sne mail...)
LOL I was thinking the same thing as i read your post about comparing to SNE email then u put it at the bottom. That SNE email really is funny. I think they should have just put "You made SNE. Good job. would have been funny.

yeah I'm almost positive Steve said 90% for SN and 80% for SNE in the VIP changes thread.


this thread is a lot more boring in the beggining of the year huh? Would be cool if every 1st of the month we all said if we were still going for it to see exactly how many drop out each month, of course we would never know the true rate since obv not everyone posts in this thread that is/was going for SNE but would be cool to see exactly how many DO start out going and end up making it.

More than 10 SNEs played the main event. The list was the top VPP totals for 2011 on the site at that point in time. There were plenty of players on the site between 50,000 and 51,000, I just didn't list them.

I would like to give people some serious advice if they are going for it for the first time, stick to the daily pace! Days when you dont want to play even try get one or two hours in just for a few more VPPs. I went for SNE last year and failed due to wasting the first 6 months of the year thinking id catch up and then finding out the hard way that I didnt have the late grinding skills of hodge or joey!

As such I have 2740 vpps for day one glglglgl
01-02-2011 , 12:41 AM
10k hands for my first day

7280 vpps so far
01-02-2011 , 12:54 AM
yea I didn't take it too seriously last year mellow, but this year i want that record 11.1K vpps day 1, playin' midstakes nl. Im bloggin about the chase everyday all year long, check my profile if u wanna see the blog cuz i prob can't write it here gl to all those goin' for SNE this year!... who is gonna be the contenders??

Had to choose between going for SNE playing FL, or banging my head against the wall for several hours each day. I chose the more painful of the two, so here's day 1:



Ah, limit poker and its rollercoastery goodness. You can't see it there, but I got a walk on my very first hand of the year to go up $2, and I'm pretty sure that's the only time I was up. Fun!

After all I've done for you, and this is how you repay me... j/k gogogogogo! I'll contend again in 2012 me thinks. This year going for 1 or 2 mil VPP.
01-02-2011 , 02:19 AM
So we're about 24 hours into the new year, has George made SNE again yet?
01-02-2011 , 02:38 AM
Going for SNE this year, but everything depends on January. Only rolled for 50nl right now, so will be shooting for a 50k vpp month, then moving up. One big downswing this month could kill my chances, wish me luck!
