Default retarded question about Stars VPP balance

This is an easy/retarded question but seeing how I am a retard, I can't figure it out.

How can I see my TOTAL Stars balance of VPPs?

All I can see here is my FPPs:


and all I can see here is the total VPPs I have earned THIS YEAR only:



What am I missing? Do I look somewhere else for the balance? Does it reset each year?

And yes, I am a retard-o.

How exactly is your lifetime VPP total relevant?

it resets at the beginning of the year.
lifetime balance doesn't mean anything.

VPPS mean nothing.
FPPs are what have worth

Cuz I'm trying to understand the Milestone Bonus on Stars and how long it will take me to get to it.

If VPPs roll over from year to year then I should be close to having enough to qualify for the first level bonus.

If VPPs reset each year as MicroBob says, then it seems to me that very few people would ever qualify for these bonuses:

<ul type="square">[*]$2,000 at 200,000 VPP (10,000 Base FPPs to clear)[*]$3,000 at 300,000 VPP (15,000 Base FPPs to clear)[*]$4,000 at 400,000 VPP (20,000 Base FPPs to clear)[*]$5,000 at 500,000 VPP (25,000 Base FPPs to clear)[*]$7,500 at 750,000 VPP (37,500 Base FPPs to clear)[*]$10,000 for every 250,000 VPPs above 1 Million (50,000 Base FPPs to clear)[*]$10,000 additional Bonus for 2 and 3 Million VPPs[/list]
i mean good grief I play a bunch of hands each month at mid level stakes ($200 to $400 max NL, 10-20 to 15-30 limit). I played over 20k hands in September, and that includes a stretch where I was on vacation and didn't play a hand of poker for something like 9 straight days. I'm not even close to qualifying for the first level bonus, if only the VPPs that I have earned this year are counted.

that is all based on what you earn THIS year, not what you have earned since you've been playing.

Next year, you reset to zero VPPs and have to start all over

yeah, they reset each year

The bonuses shouldnt be that hard to hit if you play lots of hands

at 10/20 and 15/30 limit you make more than a point a hand

I suspect most of your hands are at NL where you get much lower points per hand.

also 20K hands a month isnt really that many at all.
