Stars FPP retardery

Annorax · #1 05-22-2007, 12:48 AM

I'd like to get an 80gb iPod Video from the Stars store. I'll have about 6 hours to play tomorrow after work before the 10B VPP doubler disappears. I'm currently at 11k fpp, need 27k, am currently GoldStar (3500ish VPP out from Platinum), and have a bankroll of about 2k. What's my best bet for getting 16k more fpps with a minimum of variance? I've been 4-tabling 3/6 and 5/10, but there has to be something better.

note: I do not have the monitor space or multitasking ability for more than 4 tables...

I am pretty sure playing a ton of SNGs is the right play.

1750 raked hands x 4 points = 7k points
1800 raked hands x 5 points = 9k points

Play about 10k hands at 1/2 LHE. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I am silvermember right now, shouldnt I get 3FPP per raked hand until the end of today? I only get 2 FPP that counts towward VIP. if I turn goldmember, just a few points short, how many FPP per raked will I get then, today when its double FPP?

4x.

do they really count towards VPP, if so why deoesnt I get 3 FPP that counts towards VPP today? I get 3 FPP today but only 2 of them counts towards VPP for me if I look at the progresbar?

No.

So, OP, how did this pan out for you?

Variance spanked me before I got to Platinum, gave it up 900 VPP short of Platinum and 12k FPP short of the iPod, down $1000 to 5/10 and 10/20 donkeys chasing gutshots and hitting them...

Step down a limit or two and grind it out?

I got my 80 gig iPod on my birthday, but I had had a lot of points sitting around.
