Stars VIP Wild speculation

[1p0kerboy]

I think I undershot the amount of E$ Supernova Elite's currently get.

Currently they get 2 out of the following 3:
EPT Monte Carlo $15,500
PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $8,000
World Series of Poker $10,000

AND they get
WCOOP $2600

So right now they get ~$25,000+ in tournament entries (not including travel and hotel accommodations).

By the way, I love the cookie basket.

I was thinking a little bit more about the E$ 'proposal' and how good it would be for both Stars and the players. A couple points for the Stars guys reading this:

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] It costs Stars nothing additional.
[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] It gives the players more choices, which makes them much happier.

Each Supernova Elite receives $25,000 E$ in January.

Basically, all tournaments that you can purchase in the FPP store are covered under this plan. Maybe the Sunday Warm-up could also be included for our European brothers and sisters. It has become quite a popular tournament.

So the following tournaments would be available:

EPT Barcelona Open $11,800
EPT London $11,300
EPT Baden Classic $11,800
EPT Dublin $11,800

Pokerboy -
First, San Remo should be only $7400...not $11.8k.

The way it is set up now the player gets the expenses included for their 2 land-based tournaments.

So the Monte Carlo package is actually worth around $18k I believe and the WSOP and PCA are both worth $12k I believe.

If you also include the WCOOP final which is $2600 then anyone choosing Monte Carlo gets a total of $32,600 at Elite.

I think you are including the expenses in the package if you want to purchase that. So if I spend E$10k on a WSOP package I am actually getting $12k total or something like that.

But doing it this way I think somebody who chooses a bunch of the smaller APPT or EPT tourneys can end up with way more value by racking up travel and expense cash or something.

Since I think Stars has a greater incentive to promote their brand new APPT perhaps this ends up being a good thing for them. Not sure they want to give away the store though.

I too would like the idea of more flexibility with the land-based tourney options and Scottyy seems somewhat agreeable to some flexibility on this and i think you are on the right track here.

Just pointing out that maybe this will end up encouraging people to rack up the travel and expense dollars in the APPT events or something if you do it this way.

Stars' site says San Remo is 8,000 Euros, so I'm not sure where you're getting that figure ($7400) from.

I think travel/hotel accommodations should only be included for events that are $8,000 and up. This won't include the WSOP preliminary events OR the smaller APPT events(unless Stars wants to throw a bone).

I saw the 5k euro price-tag for San Remo here:

On a completely different note, with the declining dollar, seems like the best value is now the 250 Pound Amazon certificates for 31k fpp. At 2.091 exchange rate its worth about 0.0168. The more the dollar falls the better the value!

Different San Remo price.
