I'm a 3x Supernova Elite, going for a 4th this year. You'll probably have heard the news of PS being bought out, and like any change in ownership, it brings a vast amount of uncertainty, which is bad if you are planning for something like Elite.
If you are going to go for it next year, you'll definitely need to put in a good 2-3 months of solid SNE type volume before the end of this year to see if you can keep pace. Definitely have a schedule set in place with plenty of breaks/off days (these are essential).
From my experience, SNE has got alot tougher year on year due to the usual factors (vpp rates dropping, less fish etc). For your own sanity, it would be best if you are a solid winner at the stakes you want to play before attemting SNE.
Best of luck to you!

Hi RIO community!
So I've just taken the first steps towards improving my overall poker knowledge and diversifying away from one game type that has kept me busy for the past 4 years (3 times Supernova Elite).
I'm a cash games reg but looking to move away from the rakeback grind that is Stars, specifically CAP poker. Been talking to a few people about 6m hypers but decided not to go in that direction given the huge variance and the 1-2% roi that the top guys are achieving right now...so the decision is to try something new like MTTs. My past experience of MTTs has been the VIP monthly and quarterly freerolls on PS, aswell as midstakes SCOOP/WCOOP tournies where frankly, I didn't really have a clue what to do.
WCOOP is coming up in September, and I have around $5k of buyins to splash around as part of my SNE rewards from last year. So this time, I'm going to learn some new things in the next few months before that comes around. Hopefully I'll be able to keep this going along with my regular grind.
I chose RIO because it seems like the community is really active here, and pros give feedback and answer questions on the videos they produce. Its quite funny because I actually have a lifetime membership without cost at another well known training site (not going to name it) but I never really used it because it went vastly downhill.
First stop at RIO, look at the essential MTT videos and get involved!
hi jonas, I've watched a few of your videos and am amazed at your though process as you analyse hands. I read in previous video, you haven't read Matthew Janda's Applications of NLH book, but from what I gather the topics you discuss (like blockers, defending ranges etc) are very similar. Can you please expand on how you've managed to obtain such a high level of skill in this area, and any tips/pointers to how to get to this level? many thanks, and keep up the good work!
