Is attaining supernova on pokerstars worth going for over ftp rakeback?

I play on pokerstars and im currently on pace to achieve supernova vip status. i was just wondering if im better of continuing to play there or if id be better of going for the fulltilt rakeback and ironman stuff there.

the only problem with pokerstars at the moment is ive got my rakeback stored in fpps so its not like money in your bankroll like ftp would be as if you collect points till the end of year you get better value.

is the rakeback higher on ftp or pokerstars with supernova type volume which is the equivalent to about 1 million hands a year at 25nl.

I believe Nova is worth a little bit more than FT rb, if you don't need to top your bankroll up and can go the whole year with out taking cash out that would harm your pace I would say stay. I am only going on what I have read at various sites such as http://www.fpppro.com/pokerstars-rakeback.php

Yeah, I believe that Nova is quite more than FT or Pokerstars. It has some requirements but its all worth it. Though in my case, i am still confident with FT and Pokerstars.

Stars is better than tilt as long as your going for 200k milestone and above. Its about comparable above 100k upto the 200k milestone.

You can cash in teh fpps for cash with no clearing so I dont see how you see them not as cash?

Also remember that you have to achieve supernova before you get the higher rate... All those hands before reaching it will be at lower conversion rate...

i do see them as cash but if i bought the $50 bonus everytime i got 4500 fpps it would = a less rakeback % than waiting till the end of the year where i could buy the 250k bonus where the most value is

Well obv yeah the bigger the bonus the better the $/fpps rate. And obv the only bonuses worth having are the $1.5 and $4k ones.

most of the full tilt perks are in the ironman promo...and the more months you have into it the more you get out of it.

if you can earn 50 points for 20 days each month you increase the perks...it caps out at 37 months....the downside is if you miss one month u go back to square 1.

if i were you i would play the minimum to maintain ironman status ...and once you build up months and play a little you can re-evaluate the worth of switching over.
