Not sure if this helps or not, but in the latest update, you can add up to 3 betting buttons. For example - preflop, you can have a default button to raise 2.5x, 3x, pot. And post flop, those can be changed to be 65% pot, 80% pot, all in.

Under options > Bet Slider Options in the lobby.

Yeah, thanks. I've got that pretty much taken care of using TableNinja, which puts in default bets for me, and then I just increase/decrease with the controller as necessary. That's actually a lot faster for me than clicking buttons on the screen would be.

Update: Still playing low limits on my own dime, but for the past couple of weeks, I've been short stacking, which I had never done before in my entire life... I have to say, I'm actually liking it. It's not nearly the same game as playing deep stacked, but once you get the ranges down and stats on your opponents, it's relatively simple to play.

I hit 50k VPPS today, so still need another 50k by the end of the year. Yikes. Definitely going to have to move up soon, but want to make sure I'm still winning (or at least breaking even) before I do.

That's a minimum 40 BB buy in though, right? That's a lot trickier than playing at Stars 20-50 BB tables.

I'm sitting at 83kish VPPs now with less than one week to go until 2011. I've been playing $1/2 NL since Wednesday and pretty much breaking even (it's pretty swongy shortstacking - I started up $1k on the first day, but gave that back the next). I feel pretty comfortable at the tables though, so it should just be a matter of putting in the hours.

Unfortunately, I've only been getting around .35 VPPs per hand at this level (.42 is the number I was hoping for), so 17k more VPPs = almost 49,000 more hands. That's close to 40 hours I'm going to need to put in to get to SuperNova. That's certainly not the end of the world or anything, but I am not going to want to be playing upwards of 50 hour weeks next year, so hopefully the games loosen up a bit, or I'm going to have to move to 6 max or something (which I would like to do anyway, TBH).

I feel like my game has a decent foundation now, but obv will be looking to tweak things and improve all year. If things go well, I'd like to move up and play less hours while still accomplishing my VPP goals.

At this level, I'd need to play roughly 3 million hands to make SNE next year. Man that's a lot of hands.
