after you clear it you have to go to the vip store and purchase it for 1 fpp

Wait and save up all your Steller Rewards and then buy them all at once - That way they feel like they're worth more

lol wat? hahahha that's hilarious
but yeah i will just wait to accumulate them, it feels better to get it that way than in 10buck chunks which I wouldn't even notice really
this might actually be their reason for it, micro stakes fish can get their 10bucks easily, otherwise you can choose to clean more and have the slightly better feeling of getting a hundred bucks or two at the end of the month or w/e

Anyone has some decent sample on 3/6 VPPs? I'm getting 0,78/hand so far after about 2k hands.

I love that. Morons raise/3bet/cap pre, flop a set and check and then spew as many bets on the turn as possible. Great job putting 1 bet in when ahead and 4 when behind postflop.

Larry, a life-long carnivore with a penchant for deli meats, has resolved to become a vegetarian. He is just not sure that he'll be able to quit cold turkey though!

I'm terrible at foreign expressions. Take "Je ne sais quoi" for example. I don't know what, it means!

Anybody have a good idea of what rakeback percent 300k VPP`s would equal for 6max LHE assuming you start as SN?

I try and use the old squinting method but it's hard to remember every time
Seeing as GB is busy SNE'ing does anyone else have a method for this?

I created a new group in my PT3 HUD with "player" as the only statistic and "show on table for hero only".
Then I made it non-transparent, gave it a black background and black font, size 12.
This gives you a black block that you can put over your stack.
Don't forget to save the settings and you're done.

It's pretty simple to calculate now.

300k/5.5 = 54k in rake paid then just add up the milestones and $4ks.
