    Default Platinum Star FPP - around what % rakeback?

    Has anyone done a rough % calculation of what kind of "rakeback" you can get by being a platinum star on Poker Stars? You get 150% FPP's, meaning earn 50 FPP and you actually get 125 FPP.

    There's also the $685 cash VIP FPP store item which is 50,000 FPP.

    Now that I am at 100NL I think I'm doing about 16-20,000 FPP a month.

    Stars says for NL:
    -----------------------
    First Frequent Player Point (FPP) is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches:
    * $0.40 for NL/PL poker games with blinds $1/$2 and lower

    Second FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches:

    * $2.00 for all 6-max tables (this doesn't apply for games being played 6- handed at 10/9/8 player tables - just 6-max tables)
    * $3.00 for all other tables

    Third FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches $5.00.
    ------------------------

    But I really don't know how this translates to a normal 100NL game. Anyone able to do a rough math calc? How are FPPs determined in regards to "playing a hand" -- I mean just because you are the table and folded PF I'm guessing you don't get the third FPP in huge pots, right? Or do you?

    I know this probably pales compared to rakeback at full tilt, but I am just curious.

    Also, I should be getting Supernova eventually -- 250% FPP bonus will be nice w/ the $1500 cashback for 100K points.

    it says supernova is 1/10 of 1% of Pokerstars players, that seems surprising considering i will project to make just by 5 tabling 100NL.

    I guess I will be able to figure it out myself once my rake is calculated when I have 50K points, but not quite since I just got the Platinum star not too long ago... I'm guessing its only like 5% rakeback lol

    Do a search.

    It's something around 20%.

    20% for what? I know Full Tilt has 23%, what were you referring to, the stars supernova, or?

    I don't really know what to search for, unless you meant FT, which I'm already familiar with.

    Thanks

    FTP has 27% rakeback. Do a search on here or 2p2 and im sure there is a thread about the equivalent of FPP's to rakeback.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    No, Stars platinum fpps is equivalent to 20% rakeback (do a search for a more precise number)..

    why r u talkin about full tilt?

    btw as bode said u can get 27% or even more on FT
