Stars VIP

NeverLie · #1 02-13-2006, 01:40 AM

Since Party refuses to consider me a Very Important Person, I've decided to try my hand at the Stars VIP program and see how far I can climb there. Considering the different levels needed for a point at different stakes, anyone have proportions of hands that lead to a FPP/VPP for .50/1, 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6?

I assume that there already is a thread with this information, but I cant seem to find it.

A beer to the first good man who points me in the right direction or opens up their PT and reports their findings.

Your mileage may vary, but here goes:

$0.50/1 - 17%
$1/2 - 31%
$1/2 (6 max) - 23%
$2/4 (6 max) - 45%
$3/6 (6 max) - 55%

I really don't understand the question nor do I understand what the percentages are for

Ok thanks alot I was looking for that info but I'm wondering if anyone has it for .50/1 (6 max) this is good info.

Doesn't Pokerstars rake the pot .50 cents per 5 dollar pot? Cause on empire I been playing that way and my PT stats reports around half the pots have been raked.

For example.. I played 1952 hands and 974 of those hands has been raked. Does that mean that is equivalent to 974 FPP/VPP?

No and no. Stars rakes 25 cents per $5 in pot at these levels. In order for a hand at .50/1 to be considered for a point, it must be raked 50 cents. I am willing to bet that a good majority of your raked hands were 25 cent rakes, which wouldn't count. Put a filter on your PT to show only rakes over 50 cents for these hands to get a good number.
