I was going for the sweat.

Had just wished boiler luck and opened his table when he busted.

I blame myself.

Nice job boiler!

#2 meh, still a good payday but A5 needs to beat KT one time...also not sure why he didn't chop he wasn't exactly a HU guru lol

Edit: My Stars roll just moved over 50$ again, yay...these DoNs seem pretty easy, I mean I probably make a billion mistakes but playing tight and pushbotting somewhat acceptably seems to work

ok I think I'm finally going to get my ass in gear and switch to stars/FT. The incentive program at party is just too terrible.

It's been done a million times, but any thoughts on which to play at the 400-1knl levels? I have no idea what the stars points program is like...I get 30% RB at FT, would it be anywhere near the same? Keep in mind i'm very unlikely to play a ton of hands (maybe like 30k/month)

Also, is there anyone out there willing to trade a few k stars/FT money for a few k party? I"m guessing barely anyone in pog will want that much Party money, but I thought I"d try here first anyhow. Or is there anyway to get my deposit limits increased at FT? I mean...you'd think they'd make it easier for me to ship a few thousand over to their company

how much are you giving up (say in terms of winrate) with the incentives at party (which not only suck, they're pretty much impossible to understand, too) versus stars (i guess versus FT, but i dont get rakeback there - any way to fix that?)

Given the volume that you play I'd go with FTP. If you make Supernova (or better) I think Stars is a little better but the difference is not big enough for me to lean either way, player pool is what you need to look for.
Also if you have no RB account on FT before settling on a RB deal, concider the training sites. I think they have the same % and toss in a free month every month that you reach a certain amount of MGR.

I don't really know what you're asking, but the top tier party incentives end up being like 12-15% rakeback. They're rolling out a new promotion with the top tier being about 18-20%, but insanely hard to achieve.

move to stars but only if u arent going to play small stakes (for my sake)

stars trumps every other site by so much it isnt close. From VPP program to service to software (with the addition of auto top up) and the new beta security tokens on the immediate horizon you cant beat it.

Biggest problem with stars is they dont flip the cards in cash games when all remaining players are all in prior to river. Ive gotten used to it but that part can be frustrating im sure when u come from a site that flips them immediately.

I'm pretty sure that 30k hands a month at 400-1knl levels will get you to supernova by halfway through the year. There's a thread in the zoo that talks about it, but you should be getting .65+ vpps per hand, it may even be close to 1 at the 1k level.

Ackbleh should know, if he ever comes back.


And the stars program is not the best bar none. At the SNE it is. At the SN level I've heard its a little better than FTP (with their Iron Man bonus and medallions and ****). Less than SN and its a little worse.

There's way better RB deals than on Stars.
The Stars software is also odd, at least they finally fixed their ******ed search (and aparently autotop).

I love it if I don't have to live off it or if it's a distraction. When I become dependent on it, it becomes a drag.

(Edit: I love it when it's a distraction)

down 14 BIs yesterday. I'm actually really really proud of myself for finally having the bankroll to be able to absorb that and not insta-tilting off the rest by playing elky or someone in highstakes hu sngs.

If the trend continues today I'm going to have to move down...sigh
