Stars FPP retardery

[Annorax]

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?

[hime]

4x.

[Lucifer9]

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?

The amount of VPPs you got were doubled this promotion, but still doesn't get the FPP bonus from y our vip level. For example, at Platinum Star, when you originally would only get 1 VPP (and 2.5 FPP) for a .40 rake in a pot, you now get 2*(1VPP)=2 VPP. THEN your 2VPP gets your 2.5 bonus and you get 5FPP. So during this promotion, at Plat star, for every 1 VPP, you are actually credited with 2 VPP and 5 FPP, as opposed to 1 VPP and 2.5 FPP as normal.

Yes, VPP amount is never affected by your VIP Status.
BronzeStar or PlatinumStar receive both 1 VPP (2 during promotion) per raked hand.
