So I was out with some freinds tonight and we were discussing what was the best
way to spend my 130,000 points. If I should get the 40" LCD or 9 x $T215.
The TV would appear to be worth around $2,500 which is better than the $T1,935
Also ..I do need a TV , I have an 8 year old 42" rear projection thats started
needing ten minutes to warm up and is a little fuzzy here & there.
Plus if I take the tourney dollars Im sure I wont cash anything out and will
just take some shots in some bigger tourneys than I normally would. (maybe not a
bad thing if i hit in one or two) ...so Im gonna get the TV
Now ...one of the lads out with us couldnt get his head around the fact that PS
cill send me a 42" TV just for playing on their site. So we started to do some
quick maths.
I have 130,000 Fpps and I estimate Ive spent around 30,000 more. So 160,000
points in total ...some of these were earned before the VPP thing and since then
some at silver , most at gold and a few at platinum so its hard to work out
exactly but lets say 100,000 base points
to get 5 points in tourney play you have to pay $1 in rake (and its fairly
similar in cash games) ...so in earning these points I have paid PS $20,000 in
rake!?
Over the past 2 years I am up a little over $2k ...without the rake that would
be $22k!? ....damn! ....why is there never a decent game going on WPX!
Are my sums right ? ......if so Ive made 22k "pre tax" profit playing poker?
..im pretty fucking good then no? :)

Remember that you earn FPPs for hands that you were not involved in.
