Repeat elite
I finally finished supernova elite today. I was on pace to get it in 10 months until everyone got back from the WSOP. The tables really got crappy so I decided to slow down and table select. Overall, a pretty good year (my 1st full calendar year as a pro). I didn’t make much from the tables but at least I was in the black unlike quit a few grinders this year (I noticed one high stakes grinder hit $100K on his downswing before moving down). Just the FPPs and milestones getting to elite is a six figure gig so I can’t complain.
A few stats:
Games played 28,500
Avg buyin: $89
Hours played: 1736
Plans for next year? I honestly don’t know. I would really like to get elite again since it’s a really good guaranteed income but the tables have gotten so much harder I’m not sure it will be worth it. Grinding -EV tables to get SOME of my rakeback is just silly. I plan to at least get 50K VPPs/month to maintain elite. If the tables are good I’ll go for it again but it’s hard to tell what they’ll be like. It was much harder to get there this year than last. The volume isn’t an issue, it’s just that the high buyins aren’t running much anymore and the ones that do are really tough.
You may have noticed on the front page that I’m exclusively at sitngogrinders now. Feel free to leave comments or questions. I have to approve them before they get posted so it might take a little while but I will read them. As you can see I also finally figured out how to post images so hopefully I’ll start adding some pictures so my blogs in the future. Happy holidays!
