You really need to be playing nl$25 to reach it, which is wayyy out of your roll. TBH its not worth that much to you anyway, just concentrate on playing winning poker and building your roll.

Dont.

Seriously, its not worth it just keep trying to build up your roll and get silver when you play high enough that it just happens, chances are chasing silver you will lose money. Even if you hit it you will still be at the micros and its not worth the extra few fpps that you would earn, its at the higher levels you want silver and gold I had gold for two months thanks to a promo and earned a few extra points, so few that I forgot I was gold.

1200 sngs would get you there, would you want to play that many? you could play higher but your not rolled cash games you need to play higher to get the fpps.

Yea - I play a crap load of poker at pokerstars and never come close to the next level.

I wouldn't worry with it if I were you.

I am currently a silverstar and am experiencing pretty much 0 benefits to it. There is 1/2 freerolls that you can use fpp points for each month, but that is it. Don't bother with fancy looking titles, play solid poker as previously stated

the only way to reach silver with a <$400 br following proper br management is to play .5/1 FL, that's how I reached it.

Even 12-tabling 10nl for thousands of hands wasn't enough to get me there

No, you're really not missing much. Other than earning an extra .5 fpp for every fpp earned, and gaining access to the vip store, the "rewards" are nothing to get excited about. They allow you to buy-in to tournaments and satellites with your fpps. The amount of people who enter them are massive, it's almost like a freeroll imo.

Thanks for all the insight. I'll add my 2 cents in too and confirm some stuff been said..

I play FL badugi and that's how I manage to hit silver.. I don't play NLHE cash on PS but I've heard how hard it will be to his silver with it.

Thanks to the May UK promotion where UK players get bumped up FPP wise, I hit platinum. Do I miss the weekly VIP freerolls, extra points and special regional (uk only) FPP goldstar+ buyin tourneys?

I do. Is it really worth it? Perhaps, but not jeopardising your BR and win rate.

I did cash here and there for some of the VIP tourneys and got caught up in all that and perhaps lost sight of the profit. I was preoccupied with breaking even so I could get enough points to join the million takedown, etc. Got my priorities all wrong! Be warned..!
