I did the math for you. Pokerstars Rakeback

[Barrin6]

Don't even ask how i did it. Just believe it.

19482 hands 1384.40 rake
NL 100 6 max
Rake per hand= .071060

% $0.40 =33.71% 6567 FPPS
% 2nd fpp for above 2$=7.54% 1468 FPPS
Total FPPS=8035
FPP is worth .0159$ if used on sunday $215 ticket

Rakeback in terms of VIP status
bronzestar=9.24% Busto rakeback
silver=13.84 % Pity rakeback
Goldstar=18.45% "OK" rakeback
PlatinumStar=23% ohhh not bad rakeback
Supernova=32.22% Baller status rakeback

Conclusion:

Though it's a bitch to get to supernova, it pays off. Also you can brag to your friends how you are a vip and they will think you are a good poker player when in actuality you are busto. And they will bask in jealously.


If you want rakeback for nl 400 or higher, go ahead and send me money. K thanks

How did you do it?

[BlueBear]

I concur. Using the 1FPP = 1.59 cents assumption, I calculated a rakeback of 31.8% over a smaller 13000 hand sample.

how many hands at NL600 do you need to play to get supernova?

[wtfsvi]

Assuming I get the 42" plasma, one full tilt point is worth 0.78 cents to me after I subtract for loss of mgr. That should put full tilt back on top for rb, even disregarding the time spent to reach supernova.

I don't know what plasma TVs cost in other countries, though.

Why are you subtracting loss to MGR? Unless you're somehow getting PS rakeback the FPP are worth more than FTP because your stars "rakeback" is rolled into your FPPs, so they should be worth more.

That is why I'm subtracting for loss to mgr.
