January was a failure in terms of VPP rate. I knew I would be acquiring VPPs slower the first 6 months than the last 6 months but not thisss much slower. It is mostly because of my ill preparedness.
First thing is first. I need to post on this blog more often, not only when I have good news. It then just because a thread to show off results where as posting here during the rough patches would be the best usage of even having a blog. So 1st goal is to post more here about nething and everything that is dealing with my grind.
With that said, SNE is a lot harder than I imagined. It really gets to you mentally to do 40 hrs a week of mass tabling. Just putting in that much volume is hard enough but looking at results is just pure stupidity. Results of individual sessions or even daily results are quite irrelevant to someone that puts in as much volume as I am. The main reason my VPPs lacked so much was because I was reluctant to grind when the downswing occurred. After awhile I realized how stupid it was to stop playing due to that. Now I do not look at my cashier anymore. I don't plan on looking at it more than maybe once a week or so or when I have to withdraw.
I need to make a schedule and stick to it instead of putting in random hrs throughout the day after waking up 3pm earliest. I'm starting to feel like my days are going by wasted. The volume I'm putting in now, I can easily do this while maintaining some kind of job. Unless I'm going for SNE, I think it wud be a life +EV choice to get some kind of job for side income, be it part time or actually using my bachelor's degree and getting a full time job.
January basically hit me with the realities of trying to chase SNE. The hrs, mental toughness, and sheer amount of determination required is insane. Does this mean I plan on giving up, especially since I missed Jan by 30K VPP? fuck no.
I read a really good post from the official SNE thread over at 2+2:

The post really put things in perspective and gave me the extra boost of motivation I needed. I will hit the tables again hard starting tomorrow and lets see how Feb goes for me. End of Feb I will recalculate my VPP requirements and pace and plan accordingly with a 10 month plan.
On a sidenote: I justttt discovered the euro tables! With the no exchange rate fees, I think it is an awesome opportunity. In my experience so far (which is not much), the euro tables seem to be softer than the regular tables. Also, €1 in rake yields 8VPP while $1 in rake yields 5.5VPP. Thats a 1.45X difference! its hugeeee. Too bad you cant find enough euro tables running to do 24 tables but mixing in some euro tables has definitely helped me increase me VPP/hand rate. With this new discovery, I can achieve 20kVPP/week goal with less than 40 hrs of playing a week! :thumbs up:
I will end it with that. Wow just realized I wrote a freaking essay and thoughts scrambled all over the place.
Current VPP: 52k
