Pokerstars fulltime players? Pokerstars Rb system...

Hi guys, just asking any pokerstars grinders what they think of the rb/bonus system they have? As I have a decent deal with Ipoker, but the action is just minimal and fish is getting less by the day. It's getting draining waiting to get games going.

So I am tempted to sacrifice a decent RB deal and try stars with a lot more action? I'm a fulltime cash player, $1-2 - $3-6, any advice on what they think of the games, rb system would be appreciated

Thanks :)

if you play decent volume you will become supernova pretty quick which iir works out to around 35%. if you grind tons you could become supernova elite which is like 70% rb.

all just works with milestones etc.

35% is little poo, but I gather with all the extra value in games and hopefullly fish should be decent. Supernova elite is way out of reach. unless you want to grind 24-7 ha

I think many focus too much on that %. You seem to forget that the rake is lower at stars to begin with. So even if the % is lower, it's taken from a smaller loss to begin with. As far as I know, rake on iPoker is about 10bb/100 at the micros, at stars it's 6-7bb/100.

Based on those numbers:
With 35% RB you are paying 4,55bb/100 effective on stars.
With 60% RB you are paying 4bb/100 effective on iPoker.

Now when you weight in the superior traffic and software and not to mention safety, it's a no-brainer in my opinion. And the one word that seals the deal in particular: TIMEBANK.

Very good point bud! Ipoker software has caused me 2-3 weeks off playing in total, due to their software and windows 8 not working and them not knowing how to deal with it quick! and then hours lost waiting for games and not having sessions as dead! I'm going to give stars a good go!

hey i was in the same boat and played on stars and the difference in the rb inst that big of a deal if the games r better and there certainly is a noticeable difference in the rake as well

and i played plo so ur paying more rake. its certainly worth a spin for a month or 2 and see how it goes as if u look at ur rb in bb/100 its not that much of a downer as u can make that extra bb up at the tables
