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.
