Please Give Me Advice
After a long break from sit n goes I am returning to the game. I generally 10-12 table $11+$1 turbos on Full Tilt right now. My question is this; If I get 29% rakeback on Full Tilt should I continue to play there, or are the $15+$1s at Stars still a better deal because of the rake reduction and hordes of bad players? Also, do VPPs for example make a huge difference? FPPs on tilt suck because if you use them they subtract from rakeback. I guess I just want to know if its wiser to play at Stars long term because of the rake break, more people, and more fish? Opinions?

Re: Please Give Me Advice
How high of volume are you playing? If you're going to be at GoldStar or PlatinumStar on PokerStars, you'll be getting pretty decent rakeback (don't know actual percents, though I'm sure someone can chime in with them). Also, FPPs will add up really fast allowing you to unlock VIP bonuses or other free stuff. Stars has multiple registering at once and they fill up faster, too. And you're paying way less rake, which might almost even out the rakeback.
But I also hang out on Stars 24/7 and have played like 50 games on FTP, so mayhaps I'm biased.. |

STARS CONVERTING MONEY BONUSES INTO RAKEBACK PERCENTAGES
Gold = 11% RB ($800 raked in a month). Platinum = 16% RB ($2000 raked in a month) Supernova = 26% RB (100000 vpps in a year, $40000 paid in rake in a year using platinum 2.5x earning ratio). Gold - 88 FPPs per $1 Platinum - 77 FPPs per $1 Supernova - 67 FPPs per $1. |

If I recall it correct, you pay 27%(the rakeback quote you get) of the retail price of the product you buy in the shop via your rakeback. |

Re: Please Give Me Advice
So wait. I'm still kinda confused.
I spend 11K FTPoints on a ballin velour robe. Let's say the retail is 100 bucks for this baby. If i earn 500 rakeback, they will subtract 27 dollars (100*.27) from the rakeback i earn and only give me 473? is this how it works? |
