Hey man,

how you got these required hands numbers? From what I know, these numbers seem a bit off. Here is an image of what you should expect approximately:

Good luck though!

Hey acetbfish, I got the numbers from here: http://www.pokerstars.com/vip/supernova/ in the achieving supernova section.

Would be pretty scummy of stars to be lying about the number of hands you gotta play, just to get people to put in more volume...I will monitor my VPP/100 is tomorrow and see what the result is.

I played 2923 hands today, so if I maintain this pace (probably won't) will be on 1.06 million hands for the year. I will log all the guesses, and no more guesses after this post since it isn't the 1st here anymore.

EDIT: Absolute douches over @ PokerStars. Checked my VPP for the day, and its 200 from 2924 hands. Which means that it would take 1.4 mil, not 950k like they say. Pretty shit of them to put false info up for something that takes a whole year of commitment. Not gonna give up though, looks like I'll just have to keep working on my game and will need to move up a few stakes too.

it's just an average, you must understand that fishes/whales play a lot of more hands and increase the average of vpp/hand

Hi man.
First of all good luck with your goals!
Second acetbfish is right. You wont be able to get SN with 975k hands, they will give you about 40k VPP.Even tho you better don't get upset since you'll move up throught limits all year and with good volume you'll get it for sure.

Good luck mate! Will follow

U can get 100 vpps/hour playing 8 tables of zoom @ NL 10 LAG style, bluffing alot etc

Set two records today:

Most hands played: 4007
Most bb lost in a day: 1050

No way I can make it only at nl10 so better start moving up!!!!

Second hand, with AA I would fold river. Dont know if mine play is good, but I would think that AA is bad there. he got flush or 2+pairs or better to jam river.

In that hand, I would check-raise flop and would want to go all in there.

In hand 2 when the 3 pairs we beat TJ, so we're only losing to a backdoor flush or set. Its kind of sick how he changes his betsizing, but as played it'd still call river. He has enough Jx and bluffs imo.

1% of the way!

Dunno how I will ever move up when stars keeps gift wrapping my stacks for others...
