Rakeback on Fulltilt or FPP on Pokerstars (Aston Martin or Porsche)

[Eternal]

Ok Guys,

If this question has been asked before I apologized. What is better? Rake back at FULLtilt? Which I think you can earn about 2-3k a month if you play poker 40-50 hours a week 6-8 tabling.

Or

FPP's at Pokerstars and go for the Aston Martin or Porsche after playing full time for like 1 1/2 years.

For some reason, I think it would be better to play for the car right? What do you all think? please Reply Thank you!

It is a math problem. Figure out how much you'll get back per hour/per table etc at FTP and then do the same at PS. Also keep in mind the huge number of hours required to get the Aston Martin.

A lot of it depends on which game and stakes you play, how many players per table etc. Some games are better for VPP's/FPP's than others.

Keep in mind the huge amount of tax you are going to pay on that car.

Agreed. Just save up your rakeback from FTP and buy an Aston Martin in a year and a half or whatever. In the meantime, keep the money you are saving in an interest bearing account and make an extra few thousand bucks.

There is luxury tax and gas guzzling tax on rakeback? WHen did this happen?

Best option: take cash and don't thrown down a huge (probably majority) percentage of your net worth on a depreciating 'asset'

Take cash and w/d your rakeback and filter into a vanguard or other low cost fund provider in order to not work in the latter years of your life.

just my $.02
