PokerStars & FPP's, Getting Screwed?

[4thstreetpete]

Ok, going through the numbers again and it looks like the stars vip program is very underwhelming. I should've known because I didn't expect much to be honest.

I can't see how this would be enough to lure the high volume players over. There's better choices out there with rakebacks and it's hard to justify moving all your play over to stars with what they have to offer especially when you can get cash back instead of useless items like TVs and ipods that I don't need. At least it's a step in the right direction, still better than party. Hopefully this will get more ring game action going, we'll see how the next few months transpire.
Sometimes as poker players we get spoiled with all the great offers available. A few years ago I would've jumped all over this vip thing but now with so much competition and better offers out there, it's not even good enough to get me out of bed. This is a great time to be a poker player.
