Getting back on the stars point system.....
I just took a quick look at it. It looks like the $1500 bonus is only going on through June 31 at which time "it will be further reviewed." I would hate to work up to supernova and then have them kill the bonus. I've got 27% rakeback at FTP and I'm currently splitting time betweent the 2 sites. I haven't made up my mind which site I should make my home.

Yeah, they were saying that up until the end of 2006 too, and then extended it...

I expect if they actually cut the bonuses there would be riots in the streets. At the very least, they loose half their VIPs. I'd be very surprised if they did and even so, if you decided to stick around you could still do fine with gift cards/concierge.

Wouldn't hurt if people started letting them know that Star's indecision is affecting their choice to move to Stars. The email address is [email protected]

Anyone ever mix it up between the two just to get a change of pace??

When I need a change of pace I'll play some HU NL or some Omaha or enter a cheap donkament. But it is more just to blow off steam than to try to make real $.

Actually some HU sounds good right about now.
