Hey, I heard you already did the math, I wanted to compare our numbers because I originally made a mistake that told me it was profitable to switch at Gear J, but now I know it's not profitable until possibly Gear Q (if you wanna get to K faster), and definitely profitable at Gear K..
The basic numbers without bonuses / VIP say that Gear Q gets 35% rakeback, and the RPM RB players get 35% rakeback as a standard.. but RPM RB players get 8% from VIP points (extra from the two double VIP days each week) .. then if you add bonuses RPM RB Players get 52.02% total
Gear Q gets 48.33% total.. Gear Q's VIP points all go towards turning in VIP for cash.
Gear K gets 53.33% total
Gear A gets 58.33% total
There was a spread that matches these figures, I rechecked the spread my calcs match these figures. So I pretty certain you are correct. J Gear is breakeven, if you have BONUS and can have a bonus pending until you get to Q gear. Also, double point days are not guaranteed in the future. J gear is a bit of a risk. Q gear is no brainer as 35% = 35% and bonus is faster, K gear is faster.
However, if you a MTT god, then no switch can match the buyins = cash in tournaments, since you have to burn your points.
