Here is a calculation from me. I play 5 10 full ring and 10 20 full ring. over 90% of these hands have been on 5 10 full ring fixed limit since Stars doesnt have the 10 20 full game going that often.

90,289 hands played

93,430 VPP earned ( Ive also played a few tournaments, but not many )

I am platinum so multiply by 2.5 = 225,000 FPP

Total rake I have paid is 8,183.55

225,000 x .016 = roughly 3,100

= 37.8 rakeback % for my particular case and that is at Platinum level.


someone please correct me if my calculations are wrong. I hav been on a bad losing streak so I havent been winning much so my paid rake is pretty low, although my paid rake is always low because I play 12 / 11 very tight aggro style

Hope this helps some people

O we can also add about 500 dollars in tournament rake paid

"Top 5 reasons why Stars is better than Absolute despite the above stats:
5. Stars has better game selection
4. Stars has games availabile at my preferred limit 24/7
3. Stars' FR LHE games are 10-handed vs. Absolute's 9-handed. Bigger pots and higher percentage of pots reach the level required for a VPP.
2. I have a higher win rate at Stars than I do at Absolute (simple, though possibly flawed, conclusion: Stars is fishier)

And the #1 reason why Stars is better than Absolute despite the above stats:

1. Lee Jones"


Thats why i added in my post, "I see other reasons that make Stars attractive to play at,but just ignore them for the sake of arguement."

Hog, I've noticed in a couple of Absolute-related posts that you're mainly a $1/$2 FR LHE player too. Have you played much since the bonus change? What's the clearance rate been at that level?

I would use the total MGR figure shown on the Game Notes tab. Make sure to set the Rake filter to $0.00. How does that compare to the Total Rake figure on the General Info. tab?

[/ QUOTE ]Horrible,im pretty much done there.It clears about 1/3 the old rate at small stakes.Thats why i wanted to discuss this.I need somewhere else to log alot of hands.I have nothing against PS.The only thing that keeps me from choosing them is the no RB policy.Others seem to believe there is one,i just dont see it.I was hoping someone could convince me otherwise,but people seem to get offended just to even question this.I love some of the other things PS offers.I dont know,ill just quit angering people lol

On Stars, you earn points.
Your points have a dollar value
You turn your dollar value, into dollars. Or electronics. Or cars. Or trips.

I'm not sure what your not seeing.

Let me explain,if i owed you $20 dollars and showed up at your house with $20 in socks,would you consider this equal?I want cash,i dont consider receiving gifts that i dont even want to be the same,even if they are equal in value sorta speak.On top of that,every site gives me this on top of RB and Bonuses,wheres the edge??? Im not sure what your not seeing.
