It certainly makes me think about it. I mean a macbook air is like $1500, and that sells for 150k FPPs. This is $1500 cash for 85k FPPs. It would be more enticing if we could purchase more than 1 of the item, ie $6k for 340k FPPs or something.

drrrrz

well, sometimes, when you get the chance to play a huge fish heads up, you just have to play

lolz

"Today's discount?" Did I miss some kind of special here? Sorry, I am a pokerstars VIP fish.

They are having a sale where you get like 1.75 cents per FPP on the 1500 bonus. Not getting it if you can would be pretty silly since FPPs are normally 1.6 cents.

haha wow gordo you bumhunter

holy crap not everyone sits out when a good player sits and tries to start games? the sky is falling!!

thats obv not the issue here

Just in case people weren't aware of this, if you want to donate to the Haiti relief fund on Stars but are hesitant about taking it directly out of your bankroll or whatnot, Stars has added the option of being able to give to the fund through your FPPS; these donations are likewise matched by Stars.

In the store under 'charity'. FPP conversion rate is the same as concierge.

hey, can i kindly ask you to GTFO the stars plo200 games ?

thanks

Could anyone with a decent sample tell me VPP/Hand rate at 2/4 , 3/6 and 5/10. I am calculating with 1.3VPPs/Hand for PLO 2/4 but i only have small sample .

Several replies would be helpfull to get a average VPP/Hand

Thanks

No reads on villian other than he's 27/20 over 30 hands and is supernova. ship this?

I'd fold it man. No reads pretty crummy spot with him to bluff. I expect him to be boated or have trips with fd. Also doubt your going to get a free showdown at river.

ship it in. I doubt he has full house due to the raise size

Looks like a fold. On some really quick mental maths looks like you need ~40%, if we say that the bottom of his range is a hand like the same straight as you plus a flush draw, you've got more than you need. He has less than 8 outs something like 1% of the time here, though, and often has you drawing dead or avoiding a freeroll. Raise size could easily be a full house, not like he's gonna think you're gonna think you have 'fold equity' if he makes it like $270 or something, so he may as well play the 'make it look like i'm committed' card and outlevel you.

I've heard people give estimates for what SNE is "worth" if taken advantage of fully. Any chance someone knows a "worth" number for just plain ol' SuperNova?

Thanks!

if you start the year as a supernova and end the year at exactly 100k vpp it is "worth" $6.8k. wait, must be slightly less cause you wont be sn for oct, nov and dec. but shouldnt be much.
if you start out as platinum and make that every month and then make sn at the very end and finish with 100k vpp again it is worth $5.2k.

have to take every stellar reward, the 1k milestone and spend all remaining fpps on either 4k bonus for 250k fpp or on sm tickets (or any other tourney ticket) if 250k fpps isnt doable.
if you dont play tourneys at all then you gotta save up till you have 250k or you lose out on value cause almost everything else is bad value compared to the above.

Thanks a lot for the response. Yeah, it is pretty unlikely I will play enough SMs to use fpps on that. I prob play a 2-5/year. If that is all it is worth, then I certainly won't make it a priority to get to SN.
