Just made it to the 600k bonus, was looking a little dicey whether I'd get there without reloading, 110 buy-ins below EV in 40k hands. 100k VPPs to go for me this year #SNEretentionThread

Hey Mayo how many vpps you average at 200 nl fullring per hand sir?

alot more than you i imagine

probably about 0.43

Mayo how big was your roll when you started the SNE grind if you don't mind me asking?

infinite

bout 3.5k

started the year at 2nl and moved up stakes so about $60

Hey guys! I currently play 10nl and looking to move to 25nl and maybe 50nl by december (lol, i know big step!). Ive been managing super big months, maybe around 50k hands playing 8 tables, and looking to step it up 12 tables and hopefully 75k hands next month and in jan - will have to see how it goes though as my brain goes all funny when I have more than 10 tables up lol. Anyways, am seriously thinking about giving this sne thing a shot, could really do with the 100k lol :P

Hey Si, well you heard it heard it here first Mayox just made SNE starting at 2nl so if your already 8 tabling 10nl like a boss, you have a massive headstart! Get your head down and work hard, i used to get that when i played more tables too, the fuzzy head thing, but i found that when i added another 6 table's it went away and i could think faster!! So maybe give that a try!? gl with sne, shouldnt be too tough if u have at least $400 roll by Jan 1st.

Wow mike thanks for the advice! I tried 16 tabling 5nl last night (lol, i know, super micro stakes hehe). It was really tough at first, timed out of like 6 tables in this one hand where i didn't know wtf to do with KK when this guy re raised me pre flop. Once i sat back in it was ok, although i ended up losing quite a bit - It seems time DOES equal money lol. Man, this is gonna be tough, but if you think I've got what it takes Mike, ill give it my best shot!

You ran really good on who first responded to your question here (somehow someone who wasn't trolling you), so if you can keep up that kind of run good I think you have a great shot!

Tehe, pmsl, golly gosh i remember those day's Si, multi-tabling 5nl just trying to make a hourly wage! Look at me now, 4 year's on and I've made it to the big league's 25nl! One day i'll be like Mayothesnail and make sne too!! tehe stick in the Si you'll get there!

This is awsome, well done man.

Will be trying for SNE next year if my pace keeps up. Currently at 25nl from starting at 2nl 2 months ago. Made the switch from NL

How many tables do you average?

Might go for SNE too next yr

Currently at the Play Money tables

Moved up from grinding tiddlywinks last few months

If I'm still at tiddlywinks do you think I have a chance at supernova next year?

Actually I think I'm going to try to make SN before April starting at 50NL and then decide if I've moved up enough to try for SNE.

You're way further ahead than me , easy game!

@_'-'

whats the vpp yearly record?


still like 3.3ish?

Steve, I hope for this year's list of online pros we'll see 2-3 guys like cb3mvp and jrockhaf that have been playing on stars since forever and always start tables.
I understand the marketing aspect of choosing guys like chiren or even shortstackers like sirfreddy but you could afford 2-3 places for guys like the ones I mentioned.

jrock is bumhunting scumbag and a grimmer

How about changing the Milestone Cash vpps from 250k to 100k after SNE similar to xSN? 250k is kind of too big jump. This change may encourage those 1.1m 1.2m 1.4m... pace SNEs to grind more. Or they will probably take a long break at year end after hitting 1m but cannot make 1.25m. Win-Win imo.

u mad bro?

u do get an extra 150k fpp or like $2400 bonus for every 100k vpp past a milly because of the 5x multiplier, just not a bonus that you have to click around the fpp store to try and find.

I also think that smaller jumps after a milly would just allow those planning to go for 1.25m to settle for less w/ out much loss. I do think that getting to elite/1.25m/1.5m is pretty underpaid though. It would be cool if Stars did something else once you reach elite, even something small. I think it would be pretty cool (and pretty motivating also) if they like 'pimped out' your grinding station for getting to elite, like new chair/desk/monitors/computer/etc., which could also be a pretty good marketing strategy as well. It may sound pretty lame, but I actually thought the SNE player card they gave to me for hitting elite in 2010 was even pretty cool, just more smaller incentives and things like that would actually be pretty appreciated.

Agree with this. So many guys shut down after 1 mil but would happily find time for an extra 100k if milestones were offered. Agree the jumps at least up till 1.5 mil are too big. Grinders that grind beyond 1.5 are sickos and will d0 250k jumps.

eh? how come i never got one
