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.

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
Yes, I know you need to play 40,000 to reach SNE and doing those calculations are simple
but time does have a lot to do with it because I would want to know how many hours are needed to play. Based on Pokerstars calculator if you 6 table it is about 42.7 hours a week which if I decided that is what I wanted I think I could do. However, in reality you can't play 18 games an hour 6 tabling and 12 seems to be more realistic and that is closer to 60 hours a week which does not interest me at all
There are solutions to that such as playing more tables but I am definitely interested in how many hours it will take to play X amount of games which the calculator is not accurate with at all

Does anybody know how many players have made SNE so far this year? or a rough estimate on how many SNE's there will be for a year on PS
There are 17
| J_BOYZZ: | |
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. thats from jimmy anyone who wants to know whats its like read this thread.... http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28/internet-poker/official-2009-supernova-elite-pursuit-thread-376076/index543.html 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 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.

To put it in an hourly perspective if you are using Turbo SNG's they take about 40-45 minutes each lets say you play in sets and it takes you an hour total to load up your set and finish all you SNG's in a set. So if you need 109 SNG's a day and need to play about 14 tables at a time.
Cash Games are calculated more by hands per hour, but it also depends on your stakes and style. I think 1/2 NL FR is somewhere between .25 to .35 VPP's per hand. So you need to play between 1360 hands to 975 hands per hour per 8 hour day. Given a FR table gets you about 70-80 hands per hour you need to play around 13-18 tables at a time. There places to find VPP's per hand but the best is playing for an hour, because your style will dicated your VPP's an hour and hands per hour.
