Hi all.

I got coaxed into playing ring games on Stars this month with the offer.

For the guys who play and make FPP on this site or others, do you think they are worth it?

Also, what do you use them for???

Thanks all.

What offer? And worth it compared to what? Of course they're better than nothing but if you play lower stakes you probably would get more rakeback from Full Tilt if you have it. What limits were you planning on playing and how many hands?

I've been earning enough to buy-in to the Sunday warm-up each week at a value of $215 for 13500fpps. Definitely worth the trouble (which is to say no trouble at all).

Must be the select few that got this months level up offer.

Bronze-Silver $50 bonus
Silver-Gold $100 bonus
Gold-Plat $250 bonus.

FPP value meh, its a trade off with the wife, she gets to choose what to do with them.

Unless you have a realistic shot at SN you are better off with rakeback if you can get it.

How do you get a rakeback??
I play at lower limits, so I don't really accumulate to much FPP's.

send an email to ftp support and they will put u on a waiting list..

takes about a month but then u will be approved for rakeback, even if u already had the account

Nice. Do they take away your FPP's or do you keep them to?

First of all, you can't get rakeback on stars, but there are plenty of other sites that offer it. And second of all, i and many other players have been on that "list" for ages so the odds of being chosen at FT with an already existing account is not good.

I've been playing there since Jan of this year and don't even have 1000 of them yet so I guess I'm not going to have to worry about what to do with points. :D

One of these days I really should try to play more than 1 table at a time and I suppose more than 30 minute sessions are a must.
