Yay! Finally Supernova

#1 14th July 2008, 9:10 PM

I finally made it to Supernova, woohooooooooo! Have been waiting for this day for quite a while now
Since I'm also back to playing NL600, I expect about 2.3 FPP / hand or ~1000 FPP / hour. Time to save up on those points and buy myself some stuff without having to touch my bankroll.

#2 14th July 2008, 9:12 PM

Man, I didn't know you were playing 600nl, you should put out a cash game rail request from time to time, I wouldn't mind watching a session of your tbh. Nice JObe def a good acheivment!

#3 14th July 2008, 9:17 PM

I was unaware that someone like you was a member of cc, I.E. a big baller. Congrats dude

#4 14th July 2008, 9:25 PM

Very impressive, silver is even a dream for me.

Grats

Thanks, but hey, I'm not really a "big baller" yet.
Have moved up very recently, was playing NL100 only a month ago.

That's right. I believe you earn FPPs even faster at full ring, and you could play more tables. But I just enjoy playing 6-max more.

#7 14th July 2008, 9:43 PM

BTW Zach, aren't you very close to Supernova as well? Or have you reached it already?

#8 14th July 2008, 9:47 PM

Wow very impressive. Deff would enjoy to rail you some time.

#9 14th July 2008, 9:57 PM

Congrats on making it to Supernova.
I see in the Pokerstars VIP store,if you have 3000000FPP you can claim a Porsche Cayman S . Has anyone ever reached this milestone and got the car from Pokerstars?

Nah, I'm gonna reach it easily by the end of the year, but I'm at about 60k vpps so far for the year. There's still like half the year left though and I've made platinum the last few months so 40k vpps in 5 and a half months should be easy. I think it was Jagsti though who's really close.

#15 14th July 2008, 10:49 PM

Good job Chris, well done mate fantastic achievement. Not far behind you, should make it by the end of the month, if I haven't given up poker by then

#16 15th July 2008, 12:05 AM

There have actually been several people who got the Porsche. I remember there was even a photo series of when somebody picked it up from the dealership. I don't remember where I saw that though.

@Jagsti: are you running bad? It'll pass, always does!
And once you're Supernova, rakeback is gonna increase by quite a bit.

#20 15th July 2008, 1:33 AM

#21 15th July 2008, 1:41 AM

holy shit, at first thought this was your year so far and was thinking "sure it's good, but not exactly great, plus he plays like no hands". Then I realized it was last 30 days and that you're probably making a shitload of fpp bonuses on top of this and realized how sick it was and how much I wished I were you. How many tables do you play usually?

#26 15th July 2008, 6:06 AM

very sick

well done

From his fpp estimates (2.3fpp/hand, 1000fpp/hour), that's about 400 hands per hour, which probably means 6 tables, right?

I guess his BB/100 must be truely impressive, and so he has a high $/hour even though he plays a relatively low number of tables compared to you, Zach.

#28 15th July 2008, 9:57 AM

OH MY MOTHER!!!! that graph is unreal!!!

#29 15th July 2008, 10:25 AM

Awesome graph - why do you think reaching Supernova is more worthy of a brag thread than winning $10K in one month????

How many sites are included in the graph? I assume Party Poker is.

That's right, I always have 6 tables open. It's the perfect amount for me because I have enough time to make tough decisions and I can play them without overlap.

I don't know, just felt nice to see that Supernova message pop up I guess
The graph contains about $1400 of Partypoker, everything else is Pokerstars.

And you still managed to play close to 70k hands in 30 days? That means 4 or 5 hours / day, right? Quite a grind.

What BB/100 did you achieve at each level? Must have been pretty high to allow you to move up so fast.

BTW, Zach and other heavy multitablers, do you have solid evidence that your $$/hour is higher 24 tabling than it would be 6 tabling with a higher BB/100 ?
