This was one of the sickest things I have ever done leaving it this late as I basically had to play 10k hands per day for 3 weeks straight. Pokerstars even CAPTCHA'd me today to make sure I wasn't a robot!
This month I returned to full ring and played 236k hands which is my second most ever. Most of my hands were played at NL25 but a sizeable portion were at NL50 and a very small amount at NL100.
36056 VPP x 2.5 platinum multiplier = 90140 FPP. Converted at the SN 4k bonus rate (which I will be buying from now on) this has a value of roughly $1450. About $350 in stellars as well. And about $900 in table winnings as seen above.For a grand total of $2700.
Probably not gonna bother with some grandiose writeup for 2011. The plan is simple, grind a ton and get better and move up. If something like SNE becomes feasible at some point, cool.
Hope you all have a great new year and make your poker or life goals a reality.
Major congrats Nathan!I didn't think it was possible you are a sic grinder and to still have a good winrate while doing it is fantastic. I obviously need some help with my game lost about 10 BI yesterday. Again Props!
ReplyDeletecongrats blackrain79
ReplyDeletegreat videos.
have a fantastic 2011!
Congrats Nathan way to acomplish your goal.. And happy New yearssssss
ReplyDeletecongrats dude!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Blackrain definitely a fan. Do you have any idea, of what % rakeback would be at the stakes your playing at in comparison to say full tilts 27%. I know they do it differently then rakeback, but your still getting money/rewards :P Im a blackcard member, but honestly i think its a joke.
ReplyDeleteI think im going to try and grind for supernova this year, I play on fulltilt a friend xferred me some money to stars though, although im stuck in the microstakes :P I can beat 10/25 but i get crushed at 25/50. Sorry for the rant ;)
Thanks guys and happy new year.
ReplyDeleteJsh,
I am not sure about the exact numbers anymore or how the black card system works but I know historically SN has always been a bit better than the 27% you get on FTP.
Congrats on the supernova. Good luck in the new year. I cashed out 425$ for christmas so now Im doing a goals challenge on 2p2. Start with 80$ at nl2 end up at nl25 with 1k+. Im trying to play 6k+ hands a day. How many hands do you play on a regular day? GL.
ReplyDeleteGreen,
ReplyDeleteIt varies but I try to play at least 6k when I do play.
Thats alot of hands pretty sick I only played 10k hands once in a day to see if I could, and was pokered out after that.Much respect to you though for accomplishing your goal.
ReplyDeleteI see on your ptr that you just pretty much skipped 10nl. Do you recommend buying in deep at 5nl and just skip 10nl? I just got a dtb free trial and just finished you first vid. Good job on the series so far.
ReplyDeleteI skipped NL10 because I've been playing this game for years and at a lot higher limits (before PTR was around). I knew I could beat it basically. For anyone newer to poker I definitely wouldn't recommend skipping any levels. And as for buying in deep, I wouldn't recommend that to newer players either. 100bb is a much better idea.
ReplyDeleteSNE for 2012?
ReplyDeleteYa maybe thats a bit optimistic lol. Serious Civ 5 addiction lately. Will get back to the poker soon though.
