So question is like title say... I am short 100VPP for silverstar, and I realy would like to play silverstar freeroll at saturday :S but there is one thing you should consider... that from 13th till now I earned 350VPP thats 3 days... playing almoust 12 hours a day 4 tables NL5, and very little spins of 7$... I know thats bad to play those spins but reason is even worse... When I am down in cash game I go and take few spins, and I am preaty positive these days on those but I dont want to play them because I hate them xD My game become bad and I started to lose money almoust evry day on cash game, and I know I should quit playing and rethink, and take a rest, but only thing why I am going on is to reach that silverstar... It sliped me 2 or 3 times, now it wont...
I would not pursue a points-goal when I'm down on my game. First fix you game to the point where you're winning again, before you try to do that.
Just calculate how much this freeroll is worth (divide prize pool by average number of players), if you expect to get the 100 VPP, while making a profit or losing less than this value, given the way things are running for you at the moment, then go for it. If not, just focus on improving your game.

If you are trying to squeeze as many games as you can and with limits that you are not comfortable to play with, in a short amount of time, the results you can get from this might not worth the awards of the goal you are trying to reach.

To play to much tables or a long time every day was not really a good thing to reach a status level under pressure. You lost to much stake with bad moves and after the session you are frustrated.

It all goes well after all, even after that party of yours And the good thing is that not only you are getting the points you need, but you have made a profit also. Try not to mess things up after your break Good luck/

Hi mate hope you doing okay , if you play zoom 4 tables for a day you can get 100 VPP and would be enough to get you to silver star and participate in the freerolls , or 3 days 2 tabling is possible to for 7 days , if you play like 2.30 hours per day, try the zoom but dont lose money trying to reach a freeroll you could just play normally and if you win good if not then no problems, cheers have fun and good luck mate at the tables!

I started my 2nd session 30 min ago, and I got 13$ more of profit, and I need less than 10VPP, dont know exactly how much, maybe I reched my goal, but Ill play little more just to be sure, then rest until tournaments begin
------------ creazy thing there is 1 player on 1 of my tables, got 100% agression factor from 100 hands, and it was creazy to me and not possible, so I called 3 times his raises with mid pair... 3x I hit mid pair and he hit top pair... I was wrong... it seems realy that he is hitting his hands... just unbelivable... that was before I counted my profit, so still is 13$, it was like 15$ before I called him in those 3 hands...
but I dont want to play them because I hate them xD
