I'm very happy with what Stars is offering me. However, the question Stars should be asking is if their program is enough to motivate high volumn players to play more. For those that can achieve elite it is certainly enough. For most the rest of us it isn't. We'll probably push to the next benchmark at the end of the year, but as far as making a year long push, I don't see it.

I'll do 400K this year and I imagine many players are at about the same. What if Stars were to offer something pretty significant Like a WSOPME package at the 500K or 600K mark? I promise you, I would get the extra hands played. Even though the dollars won in those extra hands would far outweigh the prize, the cheap bastard in me couldn't pass it up.

Stars should do an evaluation and find that break point which allows them to make a chunk of change in rake while providing that significant-and achievable-carrot to us.

Win win.
