Default Re: Stars VIP Wild speculation

Yea maybe you are right.

I'm just wondering how many 100nl/200nl players would put all their play on stars if they knew there was a FPP% bonus at 550k or so. I know a couple at least personally that I talk to on AIM that switch between sites because of them thinking that they can't get to any new levels.


The main thing is I am trying to think of 100nl players here. I mean it is nearly just impossible to get 750k vpp's at that level or 200nl. There are A LOT of players at these levels. If they knew they could get 400% or whatever for the whole next year, then I think they would be more inclined to get and keep this level for years and years. I know next year if I split things up when playing 2/4 and the only level is 750k I won't worry about getting it. I might get it, but if there are better games on other sites I would worry about that first because it would even be hard for a 2/4 player to achieve. I wouldn't even try it at 1/2 at all. But if I played 1/2 I would definitely dedicate all my play if I knew there was a level I could keep 400% FPP that was attainable.


Basically I am saying it would be worth so much more for your .5/1,1/2 grinders if they could get the 400% FPP at a stage that is actually attainable for all but 2 or 3 of them. In the mind of a grinder at 1/2 or lower that tries to play for a living, I most definitely would table select at other sites before trying to get 500k VPP just for a one-off 5,000 bonus. Throughout a whole year I am sure the table selection would make me more. If I got more fpp, on the other hand, for infinity(as long as I kept meeting the standards each month for the next years), then Stars would keep my play every year.


Does this make sense? I understand your idea may be quite a bit better, but I am just throwing this out because it is geared towards the 95% of 100nl and 200nl players that cannot get 750k and might just give up and split their play equally instead of trying to even get 500k.
