Would be great if I didn't just cash out most of my stars roll and let my vip status slide.

I would be all over this VPPx2 week if I could get some god damned wireless connection in my house. This has got to be the most frustrating week ever.
HOLY FUCK I HAVEN'T PLAYED SINCE THURSDAY.

8k hands here + cleared a plat bonus (my 1st 1) that I bought a few days ago = good start to July.  Now if only I had more FPPs so I could buy & grind out another 1.
Quick question, would moving up during double VPP week be a good or bad idea? I've read that it's a bad idea since the games seem to get a lot tighter, so idk.

I'm thinking tomorrow I'm going to play Full-Ring and join tables with 3-5 people and leave when they get more than 6-handed.
I'll also probably be also minraising PF but I haven't decided yet, guess I'll figure it out tomorrow

I love seeing the sick number of hands/vpp being snatched up... if you see anything else around the interwebs, I'd like to see it.

I've played 3784 hands so far (another ~2k planned for today) and earned 1416VPPs. I play 50NL FR.
So..
1416/3784 = .37VPP/hand.

I've played so goddamn much the past couple of days, already 11K VPP and I won a LAPT Uruguay package. I have high hopes for the rest of the week.
The games are pretty mediocre but I've still been able to find enough good tables to keep me going, I've just had to change tables more often than usual.

During promotions like these, a good player's table selection skills are really put to the test.

played 242 SnG's for 50k FPPs. Ran pretty horrible but I should definitely turn a profit by Sunday. The play was just absolutely horrendous at the $60s and $105s. Look forward to putting in more hours tomorrow

Anyone know how the last week in the month will work?
"2X Your VIP Status - Whether you’re Bronze, Silver or Supernova, shortcut your path up the VIP ladder"
I highly doubt it'll be another double VPP week.

I definitely calculated SnG's to be a better deal than 24 tabling my normal FR game. 175 or 315 FPP's per SnG at 40/hr is 8400FPP/hr. At 2/4 FR it is about 4000FPPs/hr.

euph it's on the website and in the news thing that pops up, maybe you have that disabled.
I would think games will be a bit better today and better tomorrow, my wife got today off and for sure all US folks have tomorrow off.

I'm guessing it will give you all the perks of being one higher level up vip for a week (i.e. increased multiplier of vpps-->fpps, ability to play in vip only freerolls)
