It's 5 million points.

With full time (ill say that's 30 hours a week) of 6 tabling the mid stakes, that's about a years worth of play.


Even though the money will be insignificant relative to what you'd be winning if you put in that time, it's awesome to look at the hands in terms of how fast it'll get you that car.

[mikeysong]

full ring or short handed?

[aucu]

A couple of months ago some guy from Rome got the Porche Cayman, thats when they added the Aston Martin to the program, don't think anyone got one yet because PS would have put it in their news.

[Cotac]

Yeah, if someone won that car it would probably have been in the Pstars news.

Here's a link to the Porsche story; http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/2006/09/dari...s-new-ride.html

It takes much longer then that. At 10/20 and up at the supernova level I was putting in 50k hands a month and earning basically 45k base fpps.

Throw in the bonus and I was making like 150k fpp per month.

So yea if you're a supernova its going to take literally 1.4 million raked hands.


But yea stars fpp stuff is awesome. I've gotten a 6.3k best buy gift card. Cashed for some solid $ in the supernova tourney and gotten countless tourney entries

I don't get it.

I think it's still on the down low.

Pokerplayer,

30 hours a week of 6 tabling equals about 750,000 hands (not raked hands) a year. That assumes 75 hands per table hour.

Getting to supernova takes very little time at that rate.


Your points clear at 3.5 times the normal rate.
You get 2 base points for every hand that is raked $3.
So that's 7 points per raked hand.


What percent of hands do you figure are raked, and what percent do you figure are raked the max from tables between 10/20 and 20/40? Virtually every hand that sees a flop at 15/30 is max raked. For 10/20, it's something like 80%.

I figure that you can credit yourself for at least 5 points for an average hand.

That's nearly 4 million points right there over the course of a year.

[pokerplayer24]

Used to be 1 fpp max per hand. I sure got screewed out of a ton of fpps.

[Abbaddabba]

So then.. yeah... about a year of 'full time' play. It wouldt ake two years at the old rate.

They're only offering the AM until december though.

I'd probably prefer the cash value, but damn it'd be nice.
I almost want to be forced to get it, because i never would if i had the cash.


SInce i didnt get the stars $1000 reload im holding off until i finish work to move up to the mid stakes at stars. I really do want to work towards that if they offer it again next year, and i can manage those hours i think.

Abba,

The only condition is if you get it, you must take me for a ride. I'll pay for airfare, etc down to wherever you are. Aston's are like my dream car.

[kes1981]

Somebody got it and there was a story on 2+2... sorry no link

Does thunder bay even have an airport?

Does thunder bay even have an airport?

Nope but it is near Pie Island.... what an odd name.

[pokerplayer24]

20k fpp yesterday, kind of makes me want to try and save for something sweet, but instead I know i'll either get another gift card to best buy or something like that. 3 mill for a porsche would just take way to long for me.

[pokerfan1080]

I considered the Martin, but settled for a quarter zip fleece.

I wasn't ready to part with 5 million FPP's.

Thunder Bay INTERNATIONAL Airport
