Pstars FPP musings
Alright so its what, 1fpp per raked hand? and at platinum status you are getting 150% bonus of Fpps? so 2.5 per raked hand?
Assuming the travel gift cert is redeemable as cash... (is it?) you're looking at what, $500 for 12k raked hands of play at platinum status mid-limit? I don't know, is this right?

Re: Pstars FPP musings
It looks right to me but I don't think you'll be able to just turn the gift cards in for cash.

Not every raked hand gets you a FPP. A FPP's worth 1.6 cents. [/ QUOTE ] AN fpp.

Re: Pstars FPP musings
Wonder if you can just request $3000 worth of gold each time you reach a specific FPP amount. Easy to sell and you lose almost nothing in value.

Re: Pstars FPP musings
I so badly want to move over to Stars, but can't justify it with rakeback elsewhere. This new VIP program is MUCH better than what was going on before, but it still doesn't cut it vs. the rakeback.
The funny thing is I don't think I would have any problem hitting the Platinum level on a regular basis, and I still don't think it makes sense to switch over. Right now I'm getting about 18-20,000 hands per month at 5/10, figure 75% of those are raked (I need to check my PT to see if this is accurate), which would get me about 13-14,000 FPPs per month. (with the 150% multiplier it comes out to 32,000 FPP's per month!) If you look at the stuff in the VIP FPP store, it looks like 32,000 FPP's (my monthly take) would equal roughly $600. Figure that vs. $650-700 per month in rakeback and I still can't see justify switching over. Why take a limited selection of stuff from the FPP store when I can just get the equivalent cash? I need to do some more homework on this to see what makes sense. Maybe I'll play a month at Stars after the first of the year and see how I make out.

Re: Pstars FPP musings
I'm in the same boat as GretasGun
If there was an easy way to transfer FPP into cash, I'd be at Stars in a second. But I play limit poker to pay my bills, I have little interest in nice televisions I don't need, or no limit tournament entries.
