scotty what i find weird is you guys wont promote what im doing =( Im going to try for 400,000 hands about or 200,000 vpp in the remaining 44 days and you guys wont give me anything if i do it, i did 300,000 vpp in 10.5 months... u would think u guys would be nice and add a little incentive for me =(

[MicroBob]

can't even tell if this is serious or not.
you would not be the first to get 200k VPP's in a stretch of 45 days or less. No big deal.
They have already added incentives for you in the form of milestone bonuses at 400k and 500k. You seriously think you deserve more than that just because you suddenly decided to make an end-of-the-yr push?

i hope that stars changes the freeroll-system for SN players, because for europeans the freerolls take place at 8 pm.
saturday 8 pm is the only time in the week that i DONT want to spend playing online poker.

the alternatives i would really like:
-less freerolls, but bigger pricepool
-no freerolls but SM tickets once in a while
-no freerolls but $T
-no freerolls but free $100 for each 10K VPP´s/month

What do you mean they won't give you anything?

You should get $4,000 for your 400,000 VPP milestone and $5,000 for your 500,000 VPP milestone.

To say that won't give you anything is silly (and a lie) when essentially they're giving you $9,000. The 500,000 VPP mark is just about the best spot in the program.

care to elaborate?
imo the "best" mark would be the 750kVPP mark in terms of hourly earn rate in FPPs and milestone bonuses (the tourney packages have close to zero value for me because i have to spend time traveling and my EV is kinda low as a FL player)

[MicroBob]

The 750k mark takes you DOWN in value.
The 500k mark is the 2nd best spot in the whole program.

Actually making it to Elite is the very best spot value-wise but that assumes you have no hang-ups about playing in big donkaments and that you consider a $12k tourney package to actually be worth $12k for your purposes.

But to get from 500k to 750k you have actually gone backwards in overall value.

[badbeatLOL]

okay lets leave the SNE aside cause like i said, the tourney stuff has zero value for me, i'd rather have a 6k travel gift card than a 12k tourney package.
but i still don't get why the 750k mark should take me down in value.
the 500k mark brings 14k$ in milestone bonuses, actually only 11k because you have to spend 200k FPPs on them which are worth 3k$ in the store.
the 750k mark brings you 21,5k$ -3750$ (FPPs spent)= 17750$ bonus money.
so you play 50% more, but get about 61% more money.
what am i missing?

[1p0kerboy]

750,000 VPP is slightly better than the 500,000 mark IIRC. BUT as soon as you reach somewhere in the neighborhood of 780,000 (I'm guessing...I did the math before) you go DOWN IN VALUE BELOW the 500,000 mark.
