Default Supernova....
Ive just spent about 15 minutes on the stars website, god i didnt know they had that many benefits for being a supernova.

My questions.

Is anyone on this site - JD im guessing more - ANYWHERE near this status?

and

How long will it take to hit it if i say play 3/6 FL 4 tabling for 5 hours a day, your best guess. Im very tempted as even if i break even over the gazillion hands, the benefits are HUGE. thoughts?

Good luck 4-tabling, 5 hours a day. Good luck breaking even. Have you played 3/6 FL for any substantial amount of hands?

I'm guessing around 140 days (720 points a day) it will take you if you are starting at 0 VPP.

This is what I've been wondering too.... It's basically just more FPPs, right? And I guess a few nice freerolls here and there and that sort of thing?

I was gonna ask if you were sure since I didn't think you played that much. To get to Supernova you really got to log a shit ton of hours.

I have gotten Goldstar a few times so far but don't play high enough limits to approach Platinum yet.
