			With that kind of valume, I can't believe you choose: Stars Points over FTP points + RB Do you really think you come out ahead, looking at it solely like that? Or is it the other factors (game selection, game softness, etc) that allows you to make up for the tens of thousands of dollars you give up in RB each year? |

			I technically can't get RB on FTP.  I know there are ways to work around it...but I really don't want to do that. Also, I really don't feel like I'm giving up anything at all. With the equivalent volume on FTP, the difference in value would be around 2%...I really don't know how much FTP points are worth. PokerStars FPPs, are as good as cash for me. Supernovas can use concierge service to get almost anything they want. And my rakeback equivalent rb starts at 28%. That doesn't include all the milestone bonuses, which can make it jump to low to mid 30% wise. There are other added benefits such as weekly 50k freerolls, (not high on my list), superior customer service, and more games running that I like. Everyone has their own preferences. |

			when you include milestone bonuses stars concierge program is pretty equivalent to rakeback.  I just bought a couch through the concierge program and I will be having stars pay for a lot of the travel expenses for the WSOP.
