So, Week 1 is done, and I reached my minimum goal of 21k weekly VPPs. I'm actually at 22k now after a late night session that technically starts Week 2. I'm hoping to get my average to closer to 25k VPPs per week when I either move up in stakes or move to 6 max games, but playing full ring $200 NL tables, 24 at a time, I'm getting just over .4 VPP per hand and around 1250ish hands per hour. I played over 52k hands this week and am working on increasing my hands per hour...
Getting the Steller Rewards was fun this week, even though they were low amounts, as I was just flying through them. I got 9 of them, I think, plus used 300k FPPs to buy a $4k bonus and my 2010 SN $1k bonus.
Regarding the $ actually won/lost at the tables (before all the bonuses), my goal for the year is to be profitable. Obv I'd like to be very profitable, but honestly, if I profit $1 at the tables, I will consider that a success. If what I have read is true, many (most?) SNE cash grinders lose maybe $25k at the tables over the year. That may sound like a lot, but over millions of hands, it's really not that much, and remember, they are also raking in over 6 figures of bonus money along the way, so it's still a decent year in the end.
I'm only 1 week into the year, but I'm happy with my results at the tables so far. I'm up a little bit and am running nearly $1000 below EV as well. Those numbers can change quickly in these swingy games, but that is over my 52k+ hand sample, and I'm constantly studying and trying to improve my game, so hopefully I'll only be getting better as the year continues.
Anyway, there is your Week 1 update. I haven't quit yet!
