Anyway, I have a question. Was going to start a new thread but it is sort of related to this.

I had a disagreement with a mate who reckons SNE is achievable even with a full time job. Total rubbish is my thinking. What do you reckon?
How the hell are you meant to achieve SNE while also working 40hrs a week at a normal job. Never gonna happen

It's possible you just have to play really high limit sit n go's and lots of them. I work full time and still get in about 30 sit n gos a day or so. At least lastely I have been.

If you could get even half way there with 2 tables imagine what you could do with 4 tables!

i can't play 4/6 tables of HU 3 at a push.
not a lot of players can/

Have you ever looked at your hourly rates playing 2 vs. playing 4 tables? I would venture to guess your ROI goes slightly down but your hourly rate goes slightly up...I would consider taking a look at it. As with anything practice makes perfect, I personally have no problem playing 4 HU tables, but I used to only play HU cash, now I play 6 handed. It was tough at first but you get used to it, for a higher hourly rate it may be worth it for you...

there is like 8-10 so far this year

there is 88 on pace

and Scotty from stars said he expects there to be around 140-150

Yes you can make it with a job. I beleive DannyOhBoy has a job and Jimmyvjv...has a job and school....

800k as of last night. Classes started up again last week so I am back in mega grind mode. In addition to passing 800k, last night I also realized something. This summer, when I just had work and poker, I would get home, do nothing for a couple hours, then play for a little bit and play pretty bad. This past week, throwing in school, I work all day, go to class at night, and then rip poker right when I get home until really late. Maybe it is because I am thinking critically 18 hours a day or because I am not overthinking the situations I am in, but I am playing much better right now than I was the past couple of months.

Either way, I feel like I am starting to get close. Time to bring it on home.

And as far as the VIP calculator goes, its so far off to what the actual rates are its not even really useable. Search my name a few weeks back I posted all the rates from every limit. Too lazy to search for it.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to answer here, but the answer seems to be a bit off the question you quoted at least.

wow, i fucked up on my math somewhere in there. so you could do that for 20hrs a week, or half the tables for 40hrs and be there.

SNE = 200,000 paid in rake

That's 4,000 buy ins of 50 nl, IN RAKE........

2 tabling.

I'd bet on the Lions winning the superbowl before I'd bet on you making SNE or even supernova 2 tabling. Sorry =/.

Maybe aim for platinum star?

well sngs is easy to figure out, time has nothing to do with it

1million vpps so $60 turbo gets u 25vpps

so u need to play 40,000 avg 109 a day

No

to give you an idea, you have to get 2,840 VPPs a day, every day, with no day off. If you take w/end off, it's 3847 VPPs a day.

my suggestion is to do it for a week and see if it's what you want to do, or if you want to play more tables and higher levels.

There are 17

I'm jimmyvjv13 on 2+2. My SN is ZepHendrix. OP, I play 24 tables of 2/4 - 5/10 NL Full Ring. I know FR is a lot different from HU but I am playing 12x the tables you proposed at higher stakes and I still have to play 4 hours a day for SNE. Your proposal will not get you anywhere close to SNE, in fact, I don't think you could get SNE if you played 24 hours a day with your plan.

Also, the VPP calculator from the site overestimates VPPs by a ridiculous amount. I don't know who built that thing but it is a joke, so don't use those numbers in your estimations.
