Default Re: PokerStars & FPP\'s, Getting Screwed?

I 4table 5/10. Just doing some super quick math, it looks like the stars VIP program is worth $10/hr to me (less than that, since I can't redeem it for straight cash). Party rakeback is worth about $25/hr to me.

How much more in rake am I paying an hour at Party? Is it enough that I'm getting about the same value playing at either site?

Remember that obtaining a higher status is relatively simple. That will increase you $/hr much.

I was already accounting for that. Buying the WSOP prelim event entries or GC's, a FPP is worth about 1.6 cents. I guessed that I get 250 qualifying FPP hands an hour with 4 tables 5/10short - I could be off there. That's about $10/hr at the platinum level. At the supernova level, Stars is almost certainly the better place to play at 5/10, but that might take 3 months for me to reach.
