Pokerstars VPP World Record Run

Hey guys, figured I'd make my first post on here a fun one! I'm going for the world record of VPPs earned in 1 year in 2011. If anyone wants to discuss anything about going for supernova elite on pokerstars, or anything about bankroll management or grinding intense hours, just ask away!

To ensure that this isn't too boring, I'll spice it up with some pics of my gf to keep things looking good



Random drunken night, Fire Island, NY



Night at the Paris for dinner in Las Vegas, NV





At our friends wedding, NY





Scooting around in Cozumel, MX



Chilling at Glacier National in Montana



At our beach house in Long Island, NY



tat'd up in Cozumel, MX

That's it for now... more to come? definitely.

Is this a poker thread or a facebook page?

Awesome, and welcome to cardschat!

Your graph on PTR looks great, I'm amazed at the number of hands you've already put in -- if I'm not mistaken it's right around the same number as roboman nanonoko Randy Lew?

How many tables do you have open at a time? Are you using any special configurations like using an xbox controller or anything like that?

Good luck on your quest to achieve the new record, please do keep us updated on your progress.

Excellent question! I am offering strategy discussion about super grinding and ways to obtain supernova elite...that is very valuable poker information, so bring the questions and discussions

In addition, I am bringing lovely pictures to keep this thread beautiful. I can do no better thing to help this forum.

Love you,
Poopy

Thx, hopefully that graph goes on a serious upslope soon, as I've worked hard on my game! It's a ton of hands I've played...this year is going to be around 5-6 million alone to beat the record.

I play 20-24 tables at a time...and I tile them...I used to stack them and use a Logitech dual action control, but I like to see all the tables at all times.

Ty for your good luck wishes, and I certainly will keep you all updated!! If I forget to update frequently, you could always visit http://www.kevinpflug.blogspot.com

Interesting first post.

How about a little background? How long you been playing?

Stars screen name?

How many tables you play? Limits? ring or tourny?

Why choose cardschat for this thread?

I see you just answered a lot of my questions here. You posted while I was typing.

Sounds cool, good luck.

Do you know how much money you stand to gain if you make it--from vpps alone?

Great question!! If I hit 3.7MM vpps (the minimum I want...should get me the record at the very least) It comes out to $465,000 in money just from VPPs.

GL!

As random as this post is, I'm calling it to be a pretty popular thread...

How many hours do you play a day, or night for that matter?

Do you have a strict schedule that you keep, with few exceptions?

Good luck achieving your goal!

Oh, and what's the answer to the question, "Why choose cardschat for this thread"?

To get near 4MM vpps, it's going to take 10 hours of playing, at a minimum of 310 days a year. It sounds like a ton...and it is, but 55 days off isn't too bad

I made a strict schedule for myself, but I haven't been following it. It's pretty much play a session for at least 2 hours, aiming for 4...then taking a 1 hour break doing whatever I want..then playing...rinse, repeat...anytime I'm tired, I've been napping. That's about it!

I chose this site because it looks like a site not known to many players, so I wanted to come in and share some info!

if you had to guess, right now, how many VPPs you'd have for the year at the end of 2011, what would be your guess?

Hmmmmmm loving this question....I'd say about 3.75MM vpps...cuz that's a milestone...I'm pretty sure that if I get near there and the year is closing up, and I see I'm def gonna have the record...it's gonna be tough to grind the last .25M to get to 4!

Good Luck! I'll definitely check back here every once in a while to see your status.
What stakes do you plan on playing (or already are playing) to achieve this goal?... And do you always play 20-24 tables at these stakes? What size monitors do you have.. I assume you have more than one if you are tiling all of the tables, correct?

I am currently playing between 2/4nl to 5/10nl with some dabbling in 10/20nl...all 6max...I always play 20 tables, if I get excited, 24. I have a 30" widescreen monitor flanked by 2 20" monitors that are vertically flipped. I am actually uploading a video onto my blog that shows my monitor setup as I type this! check here if you wanna see it, but it's gonna take about 45 more minutes http://www.kevinpflug.blogspot.com

Gl guys

Hi mate. Do you use table ninja or any similar program?

Good looking couple, world traveler, 24 tables, going for the VPP record. Adrenaline junky Subscribing to cheer you on. GL poopy

possibly the most interesting thread ive seen in awhile here at CC

good luck dood.

for some reason this guy seems like the exact opposite of our member cyborg

Looking forward to keeping track of this post, should be really interesting. Good luck man.

This is very intriguing. Can we get a shot of you playing 20+ tables at once? That'd be sweet. I'm also assuming you do this for a living for yourself/gf.

10hrs. of playing 310days/yr. < I'm assuming this is just a 'hobby' in hopes of picking up some bar money & for some cool trips & shyte. His 'real' job is during the other 55 days of the yr. (prolly works Sundays at McD's.. when the bigger tips are comin' in).

Good luck to you man you seem to have it all, I have a question. If you get to the end of the year and it seems off target, would you consider moving up in stakes to increase VPPS earned and/or increasing the amount of tables at current stakes? What is 24-tabling like I'm just starting to get used to 9+ tabling sit and gos but my monitor is only 17" so I now have to cascade even though I prefer tiling. Is it worth getting another monitor yet or not until I'm comfortable playing 18+ tables on cascade?

Also, best thing you've bought with your FPPs?

Also, enough points for platinum star everyday and supernova in 10 days, wow

OP you're a madman, gl
