Never played Stars, just how good are FPPs?

Don't blame him.
Martin's not the first on here to have observed that Amazon and other gift-cards from Stars are a way to get stuff that the IRS would be not likely to find.

Small question about the concierge service. What if the item you want is a little less than $3,000 USD? Let's say it's a Tag Heuer watch valued at $2.3k, do you just ask them for another item worth $700 and that's how you use the service or does it have to be a singular item?

i believe once u have 180k its like a running creidt, hence they would deduct like 135k for your watch or whatever the conversion...

correct me if im wrong

OnlinePro:
This is what I'm coming up with...

93430 x 2.5 (being platinum) = 233575
233575 x .016 (price per) = 3737.2
3737.2 / 13100 (mgr) = 28.5%

Since you are close to being SN, that number would be:
(93430 x 3.5 x .016) / 13100 = 39.9%

However, when I plug 90289 hands at 5/10, which you said you played the most, @ 30% RB - the number is $6825. The number we are looking for is $5232.08 (in mgr). Yet when I plug 90289 hands at 5/10 through rakerebate's calculator - 23% is $5233.15. So it looks like 22.9% is the RB for SN status at PS playing 5/10 FR. Does this look right?

BigBluffer:
Playing 1/2 FR at PS, you put in 26709 hands.
Platinum (2.5) = 422.32
SN (3.5) = 591.25
422.32/959.57 = 44%. According to rr's calculator = ~20%
591.25/959.57 = 62%. According to rr's calculator = ~28%

MicroBob:
No biggie. =)

All:
Why is there such a disparity between the numbers that I just figured out and what rakerebate's calculator shows? Is the RB at Pokerstars that low?

Why would you use a rakeback calculator, which is at best a bad estimate, when you have actual player stats to go on [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

We would be happy to buy you a $2300 watch. Send us an email when you have the FPPs as a Supernova and we will process the purchase.

Very cool. Thanks for the quick response stars. You'll be hearing from me in 2007.

Well, I certainly didn´t want to suggest it. I thought that
