2009 Review - Mission Accomplished

After starting to take online poker seriously in February of 2008 and grinding an initial $500 deposit into just under $80k during the remainder of the year, I made the decision to play professionally and chase Supernova Elite status in 2009.

I succeeded in my major 2009 goal of becoming a Supernova Elite, obtaining the status on December 3rd. The effort required was quite close to what I expected, though thanks to a Pokerstars WSOP promotion in July I managed to "invest" $9000 into 90% of a WSOP ME buy in (I sold the remaining 10% action of the $10k buy in) in order to be credited with an instant 100,000 VPPs, 10% of the necessary amount to achieve Supernova Elite. Thus, from the middle of July onward I began to play less volume monthly, though still a very high amount compared to most. Unfortunately, I busted fairly early on in the WSOP ME due to a very standard cooler hand (KK < AA).

While only having to truly grind out 900k VPPs on the year was nice and very likely prevented a great deal of burn out, it also meant less profit as both the winnings and FPP value I would have generated over what would have been an additional ~285k hands did not happen. In addition, the 100k VPPs cost me the $9k WSOP ME buy in. I certainly don't regret the choice to play the WSOP ME (and I'm confident that I was +EV in the event). From a purely results oriented perspective however, when you combine the opportunity cost (lowball estimate: ~$16k) with the direct $9k buy in cost I ended up sacrificing around $25k cash for 190 hours less grind (basically, a little over a month off). Of course you should never be results oriented when analyzing anything to do with poker, so provided I was at the very least neutral EV in the ME it is only fair to compare the opportunity cost alone with the time off benefits. Regardless, I'd do it all the same again in a heartbeat.

Enough rambling, where are the results? I'll start with a pure table winnings graph:


Here's a monthly profit breakdown:
January: $13,029.30
Febuary: $7,812.12
March: $17,465.79
April: $17,501.58
May: $18,943.89
June: $21,942.20
July: $14,371.73
August: $12,910.21
September: $15,697.45
October: $16,343.63
November: $11,696.77
December: $996.02

Finally, the bottom line:
$93,464.65 winnings
+$50,400 FPP value from 900k VPPs @ Supernova (3.5 FPPs/VPP, 1.6c/FPP)
+$203.60 FPP value from 2,545 VPPs @ SNE (5 FPPs/VPP, 1.6c/FPP)
+$23,200 milestone value
+$1,462.44 staking, deposit bonuses, etc.
-$9,000 WSOP ME action
------------------------------------------------
$159,730.69 USD cash profit + 2 SNE tournament packages (PCA and EPT Monte Carlo) + 2010 WCOOP ME entry + 5x FPP modifier next year as long as I keep SNE status (which will be through the end of September at minimum).

Overall I'm happy with how the year went. I successfully pulled off the major challenge I set for myself. Obtaining SNE did come at the cost of neglecting to spend significant amounts of time working on my game and taking shots at midstakes. That said, I made good money and soon get the reap one of the rewards of my commitment by spending 8 days at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas (in an upgraded Cove suite, too) for the PCA and then returning to grind with a 5x FPP multiplier. It sure would be nice to start off 2010 with a major live donkament score!


... and no, I still haven't decided if I'm going to chase SNE again in 2010 or have a slack 600k VPP year.

December Review - A Well Deserved Break

After reaching SNE in very early December, I took the rest of the month off from poker aside from donking around playing a tiny bit of HU and microstakes PLO. It's not really worthwhile posting a monthly graph/summary, but I'll do so anyway because I'm a completionist and don't want a gap in my monthly reviews!



The bottom line:
$650.90 winnings
$345.12 FPP value ((2527 VPPs @ Supernova = 8845 FPPs) + (2545 VPPs @ SNE = 12725 FPPs) = 21570 FPPs x 1.6c/FPP)
-------------------------
$996.02 USD profit.

My lowest profit month since my first month ever playing online poker! I guess I can't complain given it was all vacation time. The break felt really good, and in a way it extends a bit into early January as I'll be at the Pokerstars Carribean Adventure in the Bahamas from Jan 4th to 12th.

I'll be posting a yearly review shortly, though I might have a hard time making it terribly interesting as my year was so focused on achieving a single goal. Happy holidays!

Choices

It's December 23rd, and as promised Pokerstars announced the changes to its VIP program for 2010. While there are significant changes (lots of value added for low volume players, milestone values shifted to increase the rakeback of those earning 200k-500k VPPs/year), very little is going to change for me personally. As expected, full ring games are being changed to a 6x VPP system, which while not nearly as bad as what was originally proposed will still result in a rather small decrease in the VPPs/hand earned at the limits I play (primarily 100NL and 200NL FR). On a positive note the addition of the low volume "stellar rewards" and a tiny bit of added milestone cash results in an extra $1.2k in yearly bonus value for someone reaching SNE compared to 2009.

So the question becomes, what am I planning on doing in 2010? I posted in a 2p2 thread a couple weeks ago that I was intending on slacking off a bit next year and earning 600k VPPs, while maintaining SNE status through the end of September 2010 by putting in the required 50k VPPs/month. This made a lot of sense under the previous system because the milestone bonuses were structured such that if you weren't planning on going all the way to SNE, 600k was the sweet spot to stop to maximize your rakeback percentage on the year. Under the new system, this is no longer the case - although interestingly enough reaching 600k VPPs in the new system I would actually earn $400 more in bonus value than with the old system.

If I did go ahead with this plan, I'd expect to have a lot of free time (especially relative to 2009). I could use this time to work on broadening my poker horizons, as well taking on some non-poker related endeavors. I'd earn an estimated ~$135k from the base 600k VPP grind - but as I'd hopefully be improving and learning different styles/games (playing HU, 6max, PLO), I could potentially turn a nice additional profit from the learning and finish over $150k profits for the year. The extra time off would certainly be nice, as I'd only be putting around 100 hours of true grind per month.

The other option I'm considering is pursuing SNE again in 2010. During my 2009 SNE chase, 10% of the grind was mitigated by the WSOP ME promo which rewarded 100k VPPs. This promo increased my time off significantly and took a lot of pressure off the end of the grind, at the cost of not being forced to earn the winnings/FPP value I would have made grinding out that 100k VPPs. It has been suggested by Stars that this promotion will not be repeated in 2010. Thus, to achieve SNE again I would have to earn 100k more VPPs from grinding than I did in 2009, though it is quite likely some other promotions will be launched to help with this. Assuming no promotional help, I estimate I'd earn around $200k in pure winnings/FPP value/milestones during 2010 going down this path, in addition to the ~$40k in tournament packages I'd once again receive. Add to this having the 5x FPP modifier heading into 2011 and it's a lot of financial benefit, though requiring a very high level of effort: around 167 hours of grinding per month.

So, those are the options I've given myself. I haven't decided which one it's going to be yet, but here are some points that have crossed my mind lately:

• I'm at a place in my life (25 years old, bought a house last year, no kids, etc.) where I have a lot of freedom and with good money management maximizing my income now could result in exponential gains a long ways down the road.


• Last year's SNE grind was a lot of work, and I only had to do 900k VPPs thanks to the WSOP promo. I know I'm capable of doing the full 1 million, but playing that kind of volume for such a long time can be soul shattering during the periods you run bad.


• Playing a lower volume and trying to pick up additional income on the side from different forms of poker would make the game far more enjoyable and provide more of an intellectual challenge.


• My girlfriend loves to travel, and earning the two tournament packages again for 2011 would be really nice. I guess I'll have better insight on how significant this is once I get back from the PCA in a few weeks. Too bad I'll be making a decision before then, though I suppose changing my mind in early January wouldn't hurt.


• There may come a time when earning the kind of money that is currently achievable playing a high volume of small stakes games (and thus having fairly low variance in one's yearly earnings) is no longer possible. Taking maximum advantage for future benefit might be a really good thing. On the other hand, perhaps another poker boom is right around the corner and significantly better results will be attainable in year or two for an SSFR grinder...

Supernova Elite

It took a very solid effort, but on December 3rd I achieved my goal of reaching Supernova Elite for the year. For the uninitiated, this means I earned 1 Million VPPs over the last 11 months and 3 days. Because I started as a Supernova VIP from last year, I generated 3.5 million FPPs, worth $56k USD when used to purchase $4k bonuses for 250k FPPs/each. In addition, along the way I picked up $23.2k in milestone bonuses. However, these earnings have been well documented in my monthly reviews.

So what do I get for achieving that magical 1 millionth VPP? First, my choice of two tournament packages or $10k USD and one package. I will be choosing the PCA (Pokerstars Carribean Adventure) package which includes the $10k USD buyin to the PCA main-event, along with 10 days accommodation at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas (Jan 4th to 12th), $1k USD for expenses, and $1k food credit at the hotel. The total value of this package sits a little over ~$14k USD.

My second package will be the EPT Monte Carlo selection, which is by far the most valuable one available. This is mostly due to how expensive everything is in Monte Carlo, but the package is valued around ~$19k USD and includes a buy in to the EPT finale main-event. Additionally, I will be bought into the main-even of the WCOOP (World Championship of Online Poker), a $5400 value.

Finally, my FPP multiplier will change to 5x for as long as I maintain the status, which will likely be until the end of September 2010. To break down the significance of this increase, as a Supernova VIP with a 3.5 multiplier playing around ~1500 hands/hour (earnings ~500 VPPs/h) I would earn roughly 1,750 FPPs which is ~$28/h in pure FPP value. Increasing this to a 5x multiplier and thus 2,500 FPPs/hour the hourly jumps to $40/h in FPP value alone. Not too shabby.

All in all, the endeavor was definitely worthwhile and I am looking forward to reaping the benefits while taking the rest of the month off poker. This doesn't mean you won't see me on the weekends testing out the 5x multiplier and separating some fish from their money, but I certainly won't be playing anything near the volume I've been used to.

Good game 2009.

November Review - Five Hours Of Grind Remain

November was a pretty mediocre month from a poker perspective. As I write this I'm sitting at 997.5k VPPs on the year, so I will be reaching SNE in the next few days, most likely on Wednesday the 2nd of December. I ran a little poorly in November (especially at 100PL games and to a lesser extent 200NL), but the overall results aren't awful. Like October, I didn't get any help from milestone bonuses so all my profit came from straight winnings and rakeback (FPP value).



The bottom line:
$7764.95 winnings
$3931.82 FPP value (70,221 VPPs * 3.5 FPPs/VPP * 1.6c/FPP)
-------------------------------------------------------
$11,696.77 USD total profit. Or around ~$12,351 CDN for those that care.

On a more decisively positive note, the Calgary Flames (and especially Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff) had a stellar November, capped off by a 5-0 dominating win in Nashville tonight. Unfortunately the Patriots were not able to play anything resembling competent defense in New Orleans. At least my fantasy squad moved to 10-2 this week (defeating the well known Chicago Joey for the second time this season), despite my having to start Dennis Dixon after Big Ben changed his mind about playing against the Ravens. Lucky for me Joey was starting Matt Ryan at QB who exited with an ankle injury during his first series.

That's all for now, next time I'll post it should contain a screenshot with black stars.

After a down right terrible session on Thursday, I pulled out a decent Friday shipping a little over $1k. On another positive note, the Flames shutout the Red Wings in Detroit despite being outshot significantly. It is really great to see Kiprusoff in Vezina form again.

During the latter half of my Friday session one of my 200NL tables had a huge donk running around 75/13 or so. He had built a stack from something like $50 up to $600, but then lost a good bit of the $600 mostly to me in a series of smaller pots, eventually making us both around 200bb deep. He probably was a little tilted towards me at the time the hand below took place. In previous hands he hadn't been completely retarded postflop (though still very bad), but luckily for me he decided to spazz off a 200bb stack my way. I took a fair bit of time deciding on a good river bet size, and settled on a little under pot because he's likely going to be able to fold pairs to an overshove, but even a large bet has plenty of room for him to spazz bluff jam without me being obviously committed.

Not too much to report lately, finishing the home stretch grind to SNE slowly but surely. SNE ETA is November 30th or so. My FFB team went to 9-2 this Sunday (sorry Schwatt) which should clinch me a playoff spot. Today I spent some time doing some minor home renovation work, which is still in progress.

When I checked the SSFR board at 2+2 this morning, I saw that Vinivici (a regular at my stakes and one of the biggest winners, also a participant in earlier mentioned FFB league) had posted a list of SSFR all stars (that's small stakes full ring for the uninitiated). You can find the thread here. I appreciate that I am mentioned first, though it occurs to me that had any other SSFR regular made the thread, Vini himself would very likely be in that spot. I guess my ego is lucky that it was he who authored it. By far my favorite part of the post was Coordi's entry, comparing him to LT - you sort of have to be a Stars SSFR reg (and an NFL fan, obviously) to fully appreciate it, but I assure you that it is brilliant.

After an utter thrashing at the hands of the Chicaco Blackhawks, the Flames placed foward Rene Borque on the IR (despite the fact after sustaining his injury he stayed in the game and actually fought with a few seconds remaining). This is very bad news, as he has been our best forward so far. I suspect he has a mild concussion, and hopefully won't be out longer than a week.

I've been running absolutely god-awful of late, though on Friday I managed to just run a little bad (only $250 below AIEV) and shipped a nice +$1.5k profit day. I'll post two hands from the last couple days below, my favorite beat and my favorite non-beat.

Villain is some random fish. Even though it's only a half stack, I'd like to think that 97.5% equity is enough to occasionally win a pot. Note that if he makes a full house using the ace of spades or nine of spades I make a straight flush.

Results:

Hero had K, Q (straight, Ace high).
Outcome: Button won $87.50

This next hand has some strategy value so I'll comment street by street. The villain who opens is a nitty FPP pro who occasionally spazzes out. The 3 bettor is an active 2p2er and decent TAG type player.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9, 9
2 folds, MP1 bets $6, 3 folds, Hero calls $6, 1 fold, BB raises to $22, MP1 calls $16, Hero calls $16

My call of the 3bet is definitely questionable, despite the excellent price being given, and being in position. I think it's marginal but ok.

Flop: ($67) 7, 9, 7 (3 players)
BB bets $44, MP1 calls $44, Hero calls $44

At this point I'm obviously just trying to maximize value. Anything I do is going to look super strong, especially after MP1 calls. The only real positive is that people don't like to give people credit on paired boards, and it is very possible that I would flat KK preflop vs MP1's original open (although if I did, I probably would have backraised his 3bet...) BB might be aware enough to realize this, though it may just be wishful thinking on my part. I suppose I could also have flush draws in my range.

Turn: ($199) 6 (3 players)
BB checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets $65, BB calls $65, 1 fold

I elect to bet a really gay amount here, expecting AA to jam and KK to perhaps make a crying call. I think checking is fine as well.

River: ($329) A (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $132 (All-In), BB calls $132

When I first saw the river I threw up a little in my mouth. However, after villain checks he basically never has AA. He either has a stubborn KK (maybe even QQ), or a hand like AdXd which just binked some showdown value but really doesn't want to put anymore money in the pot. Since I was quite positive he'd open jam AA every time (or have gotten it in on the turn), I shove for value and am happy to see a call.

Total pot: $593 | Rake: $3

Results:
Hero had 9, 9 (full house, nines over sevens).
BB had A, 10 (two pair, Aces and sevens).
Outcome: Hero won $590

The weekend has been disappointingly break even poker wise, but I've been thoroughly entertained by sports happenings in the past 24 hours.

First, my fantasy squad will be moving to 8-2 (and remain in first place) after squeaking out a second win over fellow Stars regular Vinivici's team today. This despite my stud RB Maurice Jones-Drew pulling a Brian Westbrook on me. Instead of running untouched into the end zone for a TD with 80 seconds to play, he (smartly, granted) took a knee on a one yard line, allowing the clock to run down and the Jaguars to kick a game ending field goal. He apologized to fantasy owners after the game.

The Calgary Stampeders won their divisional playoff match up against Edmonton today. One more win and they'll advance to the Grey Cup which is being played in Calgary this year (the Stamps are defending champs, repeat one time).

The Flames played a terrible game against a really bad Toronto team on Saturday night, but thanks to an exceptional effort from Kipper and passable efforts from Iginla and Boyd still managed to win 5-2. Winning despite playing poorly is the sign of a good team, right?

Today I booked flights to Nassau in the Bahamas for myself and my girlfriend. We will be attending the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure as one of my two SNE tourneys (I'll reach SNE around the 30th of this month). The vacation will be from January 4th to 12th, we'll be staying in an upgraded Cove suite in the Atlantis resort. I'm really looking forward to the water park, dolphin/sea lion habitats and snorkel activities. Maybe I'll run good in the $10k buy-in main event too, who knows?

Finally, I finished Disgaea 2 a day or two ago. Or I thought I did. It turns out the PSP remake has a whole additional game that becomes unlocked after you finish the original, so I am enjoying that content. My roommate texted me to say he picked up the new Mario multiplayer platformer for the Wii a few hours ago, so I imagine we'll be playing through that over the next couple of days. My girlfriend is still working her way through Dragon Age Origins and making good use of my surround sound gaming speakers in the process.

On Monday I elected to take a day off poker and ended up purchasing some Logitech G51 Computer Speakers. I had been toying with the idea of getting surround sound speakers for my PC for some time, and finally pulled the trigger. I did my homework and despite no longer being produced, the G51s had such glowing reviews I tracked down some old stock and picked them up. I also bought Dragon Age Origins for the PC. I'm not the biggest fan of "Western" style RPGs, but it had been reviewed very well and I do have a brand new gaming PC to use, so the decision was easy. It seems like it should be a very good time, though my girlfriend has spent more time with it so far than I have. She really likes it, and thankfully doesn't have the same bias against western style RPGs that I do.

Another positive, my fantasy football team the Nit City Nutpeddlers moved to 7-2 this week and continue to lead the league consisting of mostly small stakes Pokerstars regulars. The Flames won 1-0 in Montreal tonight thanks to a stellar shutout performance from Kiprusoff, improving to a very respectable 11-4-1 on the season. We'll start planning the cup parade shortly.

Finally, here's a fun hand from my Tuesday session. A few minutes previous to this hand villain (a megadonk, obviously) won a 400bb pot with a reg in which his J7o made the second nut straight versus the reg's middle set. I'm obviously not raise/shoving the flop because I think I have any fold equity, it's pure value against his range.

I feel like I've got an awful lot of stuff to talk about, so I'm going to try a point form format until I get to a funny HH.

• I'm running like complete ass this month so far.


• On Friday I managed to make right around ~$2k with rakeback, yet I've never been so mad about a $2k day. It could have very easily been my best day ever had I run mediocre instead of laughable. The 17k hands I ground out is one of the highest volume days I've put in this year.


• The one hand I actually had hold up where a fish wasn't already drawing dead ended up being my second largest pot ever won, stacking two fish at 400nl. They both had between 50 and 70 BBs behind.


• It is fortunate so many people are willing to stack off drawing dead or I'd be an FPP pro.


• I'm a good ways into Disgaea 2 for the PSP, which is actually very entertaining. For some reason I expected the plot/characters to be inferior to Disgaea 1 and 3, but they aren't. The only downside to Disgaea games is they all use the exact same engine, same classes, same monsters, etc. Never anything new besides plot/special characters.


• I did not finish Persona for the PSP, though I am near the end. The game just got tedious and unfun. To start off I was impressed that its combat system was a step up from the more recent entries in the series, but its plot/story/other gameplay ended up being so vastly inferior that I moved on. At least the Persona 3 remake for the PSP will be guaranteed awesome when it is released.


• The new 2D Mario platformer for the Wii is going to have wicked fun multiplayer. My roomate and I are almost through the Wii VC version of Secret of Mana, my undisputed favorite game of all time. SoM has really aged well. That Square-Enix hasn't announced plans to release Seiken Densetsu 3 (SoM sequel) for the Wii VC is criminal.


• The Flames won two overtime games in a row on the road, basically due to strong goaltending in each. Surprisingly, one of the two performances came from backup Curtis McElhinny. The Flames host the Rangers in about 17 hours.

Finally, here's a really funny HH from Friday. I obviously mislick the flop, and villain times down before he shoves. Villain is a reg, but seems to be on the casual side compared to most. He isn't very good and is somewhat on the loose/weak side (he runs 17/7). Villain most definitely is aware that my flop bet is a misclick.
