Poker Stars VIP Tournaments

Ok so I hear a lot of people saying that they forget about these and some actually have some good prize pools, so here is the complete list with the time and days. I only see two stickies in this so possibly that could happen or I could bump it every now and then?

Good call.

it seems the only way moving up in rank could be good is if you are gold or above...that stinks. thanks for the info though.

Thx for the info, somehow I'm a bronze star and for a few fpp's those are nice prize pools

Wish I was making more of them at the tables

I know right? Like the monthly 20k for only 50fpps, who wouldn't take advantage of that??

This is handy - I stickied it. Stuck it. Sticked it. Whatever lol.

The supernova freerolls are awesome value imo

I always wonder what those meant thanks for that info

the silverstar freerolls usually have around 3k players, the gold ones have less than 1k. the payout structure is also good with almost 1 in 5 getting paid

i always forget these, never played one nor do i know how many points i got, may have to look into it, thanks for the reminder, buck

yea this is definitely a good promotional thing, i myself am only a bronze star haha

Is it worth it for bronze pokerstars also? Any idea how many players are usually in the 20k, and what 1st pays?

No Bronze FR's...

I was wondering what the field size for the bronze ones were as well. Looking at the chart it looks like the highest for Bronze is the weekly 2K.

Still worth it

Thanks for this thread.

you need like 5000 fpp to even start..the best is the sunday million tho

When you are a bronze,silver,gold VIP and have a lot in your bankroll this is for you.

To get promotion faster play open up a lot of ring game table of 0.25/0.50, I'm open up 5 table with a min of 10$, but to claimed your points you need to win your raked hands.
There is also tournament you can earn FPP, if you pay 1$ you earn 1 FPP, I dunno how much you earn while playing raked in tournament.
Silver Status was quite easy to claimed, did it really quick. :P

you need at least 2000 fpps to play this...this means 2000 DOLLARS!!

Not really you can play ring game too for getting FPP, not only for playing tournament. :P

Well they quite good in 10FPP, is very cheap.
You higher the ring game you playing even higher FPP you get. I play once in 1/2$ ring-game and earn my silver status very easy

for the tourneys, do we play with everyone from Bronze star to SuperNova Elite? or is it Status specific?

Ok nice table, but i intresting how many Fpp points BronzStar,SilverStar,GoldStar and etc?!

Im a bronze star and Iv won a ticket to the 2k freeroll before but didnt luck out.

Make a deposit - you are automatically Bronze - after that, it takes 1500 pts in a month to make Silver, and even more for the higher levels. The top 2 levels are based on points in the calendar year. Since pts are based on rake, you have to pay a lot of rake to get to the higher levels (whether you win or lose the hand does not matter, but I believe you have to see the flop to earn the points.

Its on PS's site

I have never deposited and am Bronze. It takes 'cash' play of some kind. This is from the VIP details on Star's site:

"The first level in the VIP Club, BronzeStar, is your stepping stone to valuable rewards and benefits. You become a BronzeStar VIP from the moment you play your first qualified real money cash ring game or tournament."

You do not have to be active in a hand to earn points. Even if you fold your hole cards preflop, you earn points if the hand produces at least $.40 in rake. The only way you do not receive point/s in a cash game is if you are sitting out or the rake does not reach 40 cents.

Here's a link to the entire VIP section on their site: http://www.pokerstars.com/vip/faq/

No, you cannot transfer FPP's or VPP's.

Frequent Player Points - good for tourney entries and Star's store.

Hey, Nick,

Not to parse my own words, but I didn't say that you had to deposit to get to bronze - just that if you do deposit, you get to Bronze without seeing a flop. I can't say I was able to build a bankroll just from my freeroll winnings at PS - I think I won like $0.13 the first time. And you would need some bankroll to play a hand with a $0.40 flop - not going to get there on a $.01/.02 table. But after I deposited for their bonus, I was bronze right away.

-elf

you can sit at a micro limit table with 13 cents afaik

eitherway everyone is bronze when they play a real money hand

bronze star and silver star (and gold star as far as i am concerned) are all one step away from useless

i am sure saving alot of fpps now though haha

NP. I was only claifying that a deposit is not required, either, to be a bronze star. I've built my PS BR from -0- without ever depositing and have a withdrawable balance now. If I recall, $.20 is the minimum required to join a .01/.02 ring. I never really tried since I just left my winning accumulate until I had something worthwhile to work with.

You're right though, you can't get to a $.40 rake on a .01/.02 table, and that also means no FPP's on a .02 table, but does get players the bronze star (whoopee ... ) which I have turned off ...

I wanna b silver star :P
Still stuck on bronze >.<

thnks for the info hope to get on the top but first i need to deposit some bucks regards and good luck at the tables

Thanks for the info, just checked, I have 2,000 points

I usually use my fpp in 1 and 2 table sngs.The 1 table is a 10 man sng costing 70 fpp with the winner receiving an $11 buy in to the sunday $200,000 guaranteed or you can pay 210 fpp and play a 2 table (20 runners) sng and the top 6 receive the same $11 seat.I withdraw and turn these winnings into t$.I dont like the pay structure of the $200,000 but that is just a personal choice.These tourney $ can be used for any sngs or mtts.

There is now a 20FPP Bronzestar with a $1,000 prize pool. Starts at 14:05 and 18:05 daily. Something to add to the chart.
