Supernova Elite update, etc.

Like I said, not going to make many journal-type posts, but here's one:
Spent the last two weeks of July grinding the headsup turbos during the 1.5x vpp promo and playing a bit of PLO. Neither went very well - some shots at higher PLO crahsed and burned. The hu turbo regs went from chastising me for getting in their games (apparently game-selection is a big deal to them and regs are supposed to avoid each other) to calling me a fish (thanks sharkscope!). I'd like to think I ran bad, but who knows. I've definitely got some work to do on the shorter-stacked open-shove and 3bet-shove game. Some game theory stuff I'm doing on raise/reraise ranges with 20ish BB may turn into an article at some point. Next couple articles will be on PLO; something on AAxx play is probably next.
But I racked up some vpps (~50k since getting home from Vegas) and am finishing July at 375k vpp, which is close enough to where I wanted to be to feel ok. I need ~125k/month from here out, or ~4k/day. August plan is to play ~100k hands of 2/4 PLO, mixing in some other stuff here and there. 2/4 PLO gets ~1 vpp/hand.
Also took a baby step toward getting my Stud High game stronger by playing a bit of 10/20. Really need to work on handreading there.
Final note, I just agreed to do a plo 3-video guest series for pokersavvy. First one should up fairly soon. If all goes well, I'll probably be working more with them.
