Thinking about doing the insane and going for sne with 520k. Would 24 table mid stakes PLO for the rest of the year. What do u guys think?

I think - good luck with that

you crazy man

do the **** out of it!

Congrats man! Still 80K to go here.

Please, do it. We need heroes like you

Anyone ever won a wsop event and reached elite in same year before?

Congrats bro. Enjoy that time off and rest up, next year will only be tougher!

They would have to have gotten elite before june! I think if someone wins a wsop event in June they would pack in the elite grind!

Congratulations to all of those who have completed their yearly goals!

Best wishes to those still grinding!

Is a similar (although much shorter) list (and stats) available somewhere for pokerstars.fr?

I figured I would post this here, as my 2013 decision on wether to go for SNE or not will be effected by how I answer this pokerstars e-mail. I just relocated to Canada and these are my options for having my Supernova VPP status back...Which makes more sense?

I got this e-mail from pokerstars about retaining my supernova VIP status as I just relocated to Canada. I am slightly confused about what option makes more sense to do.

Hello Adam,

Before I upgrade your account to Supernova VIP, pleae note if you
agree to the below, you will be able to keep your Supernova VIP
status and annual 2011 VPP count you had on April 15th, in 2013.
Please note that the VPPs you earn in 2012 will not be carried
over into 2013.

a) On Jan 1st 2013 your VPP count will revert to your April 15th
2011 total.

b) You will NOT be eligible for any Stellar Rewards or Milestone
Cash Credits in 2012;

c) On Jan 1 2013 your VPP count will be carried over and you will
be eligible for the NEXT VIP Stellar or Milestone Cash Credit
including any balance of a milestone that you may have received
partial credit for. You will not be able to earn the 2013
equivalents of any VPP bonuses already earned by you in 2011.

d) You will have 5.5 months at Supernova from the date you start
playing in 2012, provided you earn the required 6500 monthly VPPs.

Please confirm if you agree to the above terms. If you dont
agree, the other option for you is to just have your Supernova
VIP status for 5.5, provided you earn 6500 monthly VPPs, and your
yearly VPP count will reset to 0 at the end of the year.

Regards,

William
PokerStars VIP Team

Basically, in either scenario, whatever I do in December has zero baring on what will happen to my account when January starts. I can either start January with 0 VPPs like everyone else or start January with whatever I had on April 15th 2011. (this doesn't even make sense though, did pokerstars give you the option to go to a rolling 1 yr timeframe for VPP accumulation instead of using the calendar?)

They are just compensating you for getting screwed by black friday. Whatever VPPs you had on black friday, you will have reinstated when you get your account turned back on in your new country. I suppose that since you are relocating so late in the year, they are waiting until January to reinstate your VPPs, since VPPs reset to 0 on Jan 1st.

Example: I had 750K VPPs on black friday. I relocated in November 2011 and just picked up where I left off and got 1 million by 12/31/2011. If I had waited until Janurary to relocate I would have had the whole year to get 250K VPPs.

If you are going for SNE, then I don't see a downside to getting your VPPs reinstated from black Friday.

Gl everyone, 307K more for me, hoping to be done by Christmas!

what games u playin in to make 30k vpp a day claydol?

307k left for 24 days is only about 13k/day

100-200 hypers, maybe a few 30-60s. Getting maybe 2k an hour

HU / 6m / FR ?

6m





147k to go, glglgl everyone this month!

pretty impressive compared to cash games vpp rates.
Are you guys actually up before rakeback playing like that?

npnp, would be a really lame person if i actually cared that you answered hahaha

good regs can be (very slightly anyway) but it's not the end of the world if you lose slightly or break-even pre rb with so much rake/hr and sne.

but hypers are dead, all regs. not worth playing. lol

most guys are losing pre rb at 100s-200s in the long run, the games are very reggy, esp at this time of the yr with a lot more regs willingly being the 6th reg in every lobby

You can wait to cash everything in until the last day of the year if you want, correct?

i.e. all the milestone rewards/ and FPP cash bonuses?

If that's possible that's the route I am going to take. Would be sick to just cash everything in for ~$122,000 at the end of the yr. (Assuming 1.25M VPP)

Yeah, if you check you can still buy 2011 rewards.

any1 know if there are any changes for 2013 SNE?

today there was the meeting in amsterdam where it should have been pronounced!
