For SNGs, 5 points per dollar, and there are multipliers based on your star level (gold, platinum, and supernova).


If I recall correctly it's almost 27% for Amazon gift cards, and now my math says 19% for cash. Take that for what it's worth.

well actually normal sngs should stay, as they are, but turbo sngs are meant to be turbo and not slower than normal party sngs [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Something like $1500 for 100K FPPS?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's 100K to buy a bonus, which is 10,500 base (not 3.5x) FPP for $1,500... Which if my math is correct ~19.19% "rakeback." Yeah, you use to get higher on PP... So who cares? Stop complaining about no RB. Seriously. (this isn't directed at OP or anyone else, just a general feeling).

I think I'm sticking with Amazon FPP anyways - I'm really liking them [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

eric,

i'm so unclear on this stuff, please help:

what do you mean 10.5k base? is this something about the distinction between fpp and vpp i'm missing again?

VPP doesn't have the multipliers that FPP have. So you need to get 10,500 @ 5points/dollar.

He's talking about clearing the bonus after you have earned it, but those points still count towards your next certificate or whatever as you are clearing, so it doesn't really make sense to count that against your rakeback IMHO.

Actually like this better than party. It at least gives you time to see the backdoor flush get there.

Amazon gift cards in U.S. dollars are BUSTO.

Not sure what the constraints are on buying UK or whatever gift cards and using/selling them.

You guys do realize the info tab lists how much time left in level right?

Can't....I'll lose! LOL
But I figure by playing 3-4 at a time I'm probably more in touch with what the fishes want vs what the 5-10% that are pros want. BTW what % do you guys think are pros playing in SNGs. Or at least 6-8 table SNGs?
