The road on my first attempt to get Supernova Elite has predictably been a long one but I think through strict scheduling I've allowed myself the best opportunity to a) achieve the 1 million VPPs this year and b) enjoy my life outside of poker. I'm currently at 795k VPPs with 9 weeks left. I'm not one to be results based but the year has been good, so far, pre rakeback and with every step towards the shiny black stars that come with the SNE VIP status, more hard earned rakeback comes to the fore. As well as this I've travelled abroad 4 times this year, so I think I've balanced my work and play quite well all things considered despite the demands of the aforementioned chase.
I will always preach that poker allows you to have more free time and flexibility than most so as soon as you feel like every waking minute is spent in front of a computer screen there has to be a point where your quality of life is being reduced.
So I write this now having returned from my final holiday of the year spent with my girlfriend in Gran Canaria for a week. It was a fantastic trip and the perfect setting for a bit of relaxation before pushing hard until Christmas. Here is a picture of our favourite spot at the hotel we stayed at:
This was exactly what I needed as I've returned refreshed and determined to achieve what I set out to do on January 1st-achieve Supernova Elite. I know have to be very disciplined and work hard until that 1 million mark.
Anyway, this was only supposed to be a small post. I will keep you posted on my progress both here and on my twitter:
