should a 200nl player be a supernova/elite status player

I don't understand your use of the word 'should'?

If people out there can successfully multi-table the 600NL tables on Stars for hours on end, then yeah the VIP program would be a lot easier than at the $200. If you are going to play just to earn points, than jump to the 600 level where any raked hand counts as a point.

Don't forget that this whole program is just extra icing. Make sure that you are still winning your own game, the points will follow, even if at a slow pace. I'd rather winning player and no points at the 50NL than break even with many points at the 1000NL table.

If a winning player is already putting in thousands of hands at the 200NL, or any SSNL level for that matter, and wants to get the most out of the VIP program the should simply make sure that they remain at Platinum level every month. Staying at this level will get you to Supernova some time during the year. To get anything worthwhile the race is then on before the year ends to earn as many points as you can with the 3.5x bonus that the Novas get.

To summarize, don't go out of your way if you are a small time low stakes NL or Limit player. If you are putting in the hands already at reasonable stakes, it's alright. If you multi-table the 600NL+ it's golden.
