It depends what game type you play. They have Hyperturbos that start with 500 chips + antes which are very quick.

The normal game types start with 1500 iir and it felt like you have >20bb for a long time. So long as you haven't spewed some chips off :P

At least 20k - 30k hands per month

Move up to at least $1/$2 6max omaha, using 50 buyin bankroll rule until $1/$2, and from there up 100 buyin bankroll management.

Be supernova by December and Supernova Elite in 2013.
(If i remain at pokerstars).

Which room, to begin at the .10/.25 level.
I am Australian based , so can play on any network.

RE: Going for Supernova elite in 2013,, how much of a difference, does my vip level at commencement on January 1st make,
For example starting in January 2013 as silver gold vip as opposed to being supernova already.
(If i remain at pokerstars).

Cheers

Hi JohnJames97,

I think you will have a hard time making SuperNovaElite on stars. It requires you to make over $100k of rake. This is no easy task even at 200plo.

I think you would be better of playing on a network that offers good rewards to lower raking players. As well as soft games and other promotions.

For this WPT Poker will be perfect. I see you already have a account there so that is a good start :)

Here is a breakdown of the VIP returns for a player at WPT

As you can see with our Gemstones and Top250 promotion it can add some great value.

The games at WPT will also be a lot softer then Stars IMO.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions you can either respond here or add me on skype Callum.Noble.PS

Good luck

Callum

Hey Mon3yMaChin3,

I think you would enjoy playing at PartyPoker

They have some really soft tables and a great selection of MTT's with decent prizepools.

They also offer a $500 first deposit bonus to help boost your bankroll

Good luck

No limit

2. Which limit do you play? (example: NL25, SNG $11, FL .50/1)
SNG 30-45 man, $5-20

3. Short handed or full ring tables, or even Heads-Up?
FR

4. How much do you play? (e.g. I play 3 hours a week, or I generate $1000 rake/month)
4-5 hours a day

5. How many tables do you want to play?
I want to multitable, at least 12 tables. I am on ongame right now but there is a severe software problem with mtt sng's and I can't get more than 6 tables because the software crashes/freezes. Thus I want a multi table friendly site with no lag/glitches

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months?
Improve my 30-45 man game, and earn substantial money

Hi Maritsula,

Sorry for missing your post!

I would say it is hard to find traffic for the 30-45 mans. The Ongame network may be one of our best for traffic. Its a shame that you are experiencing software problems.

Have you tried contacting support regarding the software?

Also do you have a account with PokerStars?

Please let me know or add me on my skype Callum.Noble.ps

Thanks mate.

Yeah, I have tried everything with no success. It's 100% a software problem but they dont seem to care. I am waiting for a final reply from the technical department but I have very low expectations

No I do not have an account on pokerstars or any other platform. I was told that ipoker had 30-man as well. Also a friend reccomended that I should open accounts with "soft" networks such as 888/partypoker/ipoker and try to meet my volume goals by playing on these 3 networks (and maybe ongame) .

As I told you before I know that ipoker has 30-man sng, do you know if this is true fro 888/partpoker as well?

There is the possibility to split your action accross 888/partypoker/ipoker.

I have looked just now and there are only a few SNG's going on each room.

The best/easiest option would be to make a account on PokerStars as they have easily the best traffic for these game types.

If you have any other questions please let me know

Callum

1. Which game type you play? 1 table SNG

2. Which limit do you play? $1

3. Short handed or full ring tables, or even Heads-Up? FR

4. How much do you play? about 3~4 hours a day

5. How many tables do you want to play? up to 4

6. What are your goals for the next 3+ months?

Mastering $10 SNG, 4 multitabling.

Now I'm training with $1 normal SNG on PokerStars.

Just 1 table as rake is too high.

I'll increase the buy in when I master $1 sng, then begin multitabling.

My plan is moving to PartyPoker above $5 sng.

There is better poker room ?

Hi Newsat,

I would stick with your plan of player at PokerStars until you can play slightly higher SNG's. The rake for the micro SNG's at PokerStars is very low so this will help you on you way up.

Once you can start playing the $5 I think PartyPoker would be a great place to move to since the competition will be softer and the rake is similar to Stars.

Good luck grinding

Callum

1 BSS short hand

2 25NL but I have over 1000$ bankroll so if I get accustomed to play short hand I'll move to 50NL.(I moved to SH for tracking trouble)

3 short hand

4 I don't make it a rule to play poker by time but usually I play 90minutes session*4 and this month I'll will be pluttinum.

5 6 comfortable and I want to increase to 9

6 decrease mistake as possible as I can and increase stake with sufficient backroll management.

I mainly play party poker and 888poker and I can't choose pokerstars.
What pokerroom do you recommend considering vip system?

I'll choose willam hill because of rake size and pokerstrategy campaign.

Hi Gonchan sorry for the late reply.

I think William Hill is a good choice. With your $1000 deposit you will qualify for the $2000 first deposit bonus which gives great returns.

Once you have finished clearing that you should be at a decent VIP level and as a result will get a good RB % from the VIP system.

Best of luck on your way to 50nl

Callum

Another suggestion for 25~50NL SH player?
Especially from rake and table strength view, I want to hear your opinion.
(although I will be in rakeback eater on willam hill for some month lol)

If I was going to suggest a alternative it would be Party/888 as the games are very soft, but I see you already have accounts there :P

If you wanted to play on the PartyGaming network you could use WPT Poker so you can clear the $500 first deposit bonus. The same one you got when you joined Party

Regards

Callum
