So the other day out of curiosity, I wanted to figure out which game would require the fewest hands to reach Supernova Elite on Pokerstars. Turns out the 5/10 Limit Omaha H/L is the answer! Achieving SNE is based on earning VPP’s, which are awarded based on how much rake you contribute to the pot, it doesn’t do much good to play above 5/10 Limit. Rake is capped at $3 per pot, which happens about 60% of the time, and the average rake somewhere around $2.15/pot. Playing 10/20 could improve this, but there is usually only one 10/20 table which only lasts a few hours a day.

What does it all mean? Well you could play fifteenth tables of 1/2 NL hold’em, 9 hours a day, all year long, or you could play three tables of 6max 5/10 Limit Omaha H/L 8 hours a day. Still a serious undertaking, but the bankroll and stress level requirements are much lower with Omaha. Not to mention it’s soft as Hell!!

Food of thought..
