I'll see you in Cardiff and will buy you a respectful beer!


That'd be great, after all I'm on a shoestring here.  Cheesy

In addition to this, I'll be racking up the equivalent of £6 per hour in bonuses at the Supernova level.



How does the Supernova level and other levels on Stars work?

I have had a look on their website, but I didn't think it explained things very clearly.

Yea, I would be more than happy earning what you have so far, for doing something you love.  At 23 yrs old, that aint bad at all.  Not many people at your age earn that sort of cash in a short period of time. Well done..

Higher levels enable you to earn points faster. Thus effectively increasing your rakeback. If you have bronze level its around 10%, this increases to around 25% with supernova.
It also gives access to better freerolls and VPP store items ( such as WSOP buyins etc. )

Days 79 and 80 - A combination of poor planning and a little bit of laziness meant that I only managed to fit in one sesh a day instead of two.

Have been too tired during the play zone so going to bed prematurely. If I had my evening snooze instead of unproductively dikking about then I would have managed more. It just feels natural to be awake during the day and that's what my body leans towards.

Not trying to make excuses, if sometimes I need to force myself to sleep when I'm not too tired and sometimes I need to stay awake when I fancy a nap, then that's just what it'll take to get this done. People who have regular jobs have to go to work when they don't really feel like it, I should too.

Two weekends away in the next couple of weeks mean that I've only really got 35 days left when I can play. A quick sum shows that their is no more margin for error. If I mean buisness, every day in which I play, I must complete 60 tournaments.

Note to self,  police    

Days 79 and 80 Results : +$1,225.5 (+$11,325 total)
ROI : 8.9% (after 1,964 tournaments)

Can't be all slapping myself on the wrist for not playing enough. A good couple of days results wise will afford me a little celebratory song.

Comma-comma-comma-comma-comma chameleon.
You come and go
You come and go-o-o
Poker would be easy if your colours were like my dream.
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and gre-e-een

Good going tank.

Gr8 to see that you're still going strong.

Although I gave up my job in November, I've rarely played more than an 2 or 3 hours a day. Sounds few, but I just don't enjoy it enough to play longer and playing short sessions is enough to get me by.

I echo junior's question, are you getting sick of it yet? I'm always worried that if I overdose on poker I'll lose my passion for the game.
