Its valentine's day, the reason for marketing imo. Be sure you get some today though.
Let me hit some X.O., courtesy of my buddy XTR



Some simple calculations.

To hit Nova, I have to get 10K VPPs in a month, on average, for 10 months. Then I am nova for at least until Feb. '10.

For every single 15+ 1 or 10+1 I play, I get the equivalent of 5 VPPs. So, in a month, I need to play 2K SNGs and maintain this pace to get Nova.

This translates to 80 in a day (25 day month), which 6-tabling translates to a little over 13 per table. at .5 hours average each, I have to grind about 7 hours each day.

This is why I have to increase my amount of played tables. But currently I need some hardware upgrades to do that.

If I double the amount of tables I play, and I think I could do this easily, it would take me a little less than 4 hours a day grinding. Of course, I have to assume I can maintain the same level of play 12-tabling that I can 6-tabling, but this would be no real problem except when headsup, but I tilt like a monkey if my computer slows down, so maybe the times I failed HU while 8-tabling were all hardware related and not my entire fault.

This is my eventual goal so for now, I will withdraw 1.9K to get me a fucking new laptop.

But, at a higher buyin, I may need a larger padding to withstand the swings, so I am shooting for 200BI minimum again. I currently have a little over 2K in my poker account, which means for now the goal should be:

1.9K + (200*16) = 5.1K, rounded up = 5.5K.

if I keep having days like this, it will not take long



Edit: make that 6K, so I buy a good pair of fucking noise isolation headphones.
