Message: [QUOTE="robwhufc, post: 833144, member: 4289"] Yup, and more emphasis on how many VPP's you accumulate, obv! ;) The fascination and excitement regarding accumulating VPPs and FPPs is the one thing in online poker that I find hardest to understand. The way I see Pokerstars is - You play against opponents, and everytime you win a pot, a portion of what you would have received goes to Pokerstars as rake. They then give you a small percentage of that deduction back in VPPs which you can then use to buy books or Pokerstars branded merchandise. Shouldn't people be playing poker to accumulate MONEY, and treat the VPPs as an additional bonus, and not keep focusing instead on acheiving a certain VPP status (with the actual money won/lost in doing so apparently being a secondary consideration)? Or am I missing something here? [/QUOTE]
