I Need VPPs!

So as I mentioned in my last post, I'm off to Vegas soon. I had initially planned to leave for Vegas with 500K vpps earned, but that is not happening! So, I've decided that it is essential to at least earn 50k vpps for the month to maintain SNE. You are allowed to miss it for a month, but with the smallest chance that I might end up playing the main event and go deep in it, I want to leave that leeway time open for July.

So right now this is the situation I'm in:
Needed- 15,500 VPP
Days to play- 3

The thing is I have so much other stuff to do before I go besides getting my hands in. I really won't have any time to play on Friday.

So, I think I'm just going to move up and play 200NL to earn my final VPPs. Yikes, 200NL my nemesis!

Here are some calculations that have lead me to this decision:

100NL = 55,000 hands, roughly 34 hours
200NL= 37,000 hands, roughly 23 hours


It's too bad there aren't more hours in the day. The 100NL 40-100BB full ring games have been GREAT. I have so many funny hand histories, but no time to search through them. So many fish just donating full buy ins to me this month.

Here are my results graphed:



Let's hope the final few days looks similar! Boy do I have some long days ahead of me when I get back...
