REDBULLS ALL NIGHTTTTT

Does this mean double FPPs as well? Since ur getting 2 VPPs for every one would u also get 2 FPPs for every one?

#5 1st July 2008, 5:37 AM

yea obviously

#6 1st July 2008, 5:38 AM

hmmm . . . so will this then apply to FPP multipliers as well?

Like since I'm gold star, and I get 2 FPP's per VPP, will I now get 4? Can't see anything on the website about it.

#7 1st July 2008, 5:40 AM

obviously since you get more VPPs (say 3 instead of 1), you also get more FPPs since they are based on your VPPs

otherwise it would not be nearly as awesome

#8 1st July 2008, 6:29 AM

obv copying FTP. but hey, I like it.

#9 1st July 2008, 6:39 AM

anything where you have < 98% equity is standard in my book

#14 1st July 2008, 6:49 AM

But at least I got 4 VPPs = 10 fpps instead of the typical 2 and 5 for that hand lol. Using the $650 bonus I didn't really lose $105.05 there, only lost $104.92 lol. Yes double vpps rawks.

#15 1st July 2008, 6:53 AM

you gotta put less emphasis on exactly how much you win and lose bro

#16 1st July 2008, 7:03 AM

Awesome! I'll have one whole day to take advantage of this, why do they have to make this happen exactly when I'm going away?

Wow, so this is what it feels like to be sne? I've already cleared platinumstar for the month. Imagine how the sne's are feeling. Each normal vpp is now worth 10 fpps?

Seriously, It did cross my mind, But I have only had 4 days off sick in 8 years (so I sort of pride myself on it ) ..... and that was down to a virus I caught after visiting a rancid fecking crime scene!

#29 1st July 2008, 9:40 PM

the VIP bump as in if your bronze then your silver is best imo

#30 1st July 2008, 11:34 PM

24 tabled 100nl for 2hrs, played 2.8k hands - only 1400 points. Works out about 250vpp's/1k hands (before doubling up). Usually get around 330/1k. Probably coz I'm 24 tabling instead of 18-20. Timed out once in the 2 hr session and misclick folded QQ/KK pf .

#31 2nd July 2008, 6:17 AM

How on earth do you play 24 tables? That is sick imo.

I managed to accomplish 6 tbls and was somewhat proud.

#32 2nd July 2008, 6:20 AM

#34 2nd July 2008, 6:47 PM
