On December 15th of last year I deposited $450 on Stars and began grinding my way up starting at 0.5/1 full ring limit. I switched over to 6m once I hit 5/10.

How many hours a day?

Very nice... what happened at 385k-425k, shot-taking or just sick downswing..? Looks like a nice recovery regardless - impressive.

I have accumulated 650k so far, so supernova elite is within reach if I work hard for the rest of the year. Its gonna be close.

I played 8 tables of full ring when I was working up through the lower limits and right now I play between 3-5 tables depending on what kinda games are running. I try and play 20k hands a week, which ends up being 40 hrs or so.

just a pretty bad downswing, toss in some tilt and still being a bit green at those limits (as I still am really) and voila.

Thanks, hopefully I can just pace myself well and grind it out over the next 4 months but more than likely I will end up playing 150k hands in December or something after falling behind. The rewards are just too good for me not to make it when I'm this close. That extra boost to fpp accrual would be amazing.
