So i guess i read it right 25000$ in rake wow. I dont know if i can say quite an achievement there, since ou are saying he rake is more than you have earned so far. But no matter what its an accomplishment and you are running more on the plus side than most of us in here. Nice one

Yeah.. Basically my PKRVIP manager offered mega deal to good to refuse to come back. Ultimately it is simply to hard to give up all my rake back and deasls last PKR.. Compared with grinding like crazy on stars to get supernova which would still be significantly less rub than my PKR deal..

well you can look at jess sharkscope results which seem pretty fine even tho the rake paid is higher remember that most players regardless the amount of money they invest aren't profitable or not even breaking even. The results at sharkscope are pre rakeback right?

Yeah, they're post-rake but they don't include rakeback at all.
G'day Jess
Does this mean that you are not going to be playing on PStars anymore? I am just wondering if you have given up on going after your supernova status. best of luck to you mate.

Yeah, I've given up on grinding supernova for now.. It's just not worth it, even if I reach supernova (after a year with s**t rakeback under Gold/Platinum star) I still won't have a good a deal as I have already at PKR.
Plus, I'm not playing poker so much any more anyway, I play now around 2-3 nights a week, I used to play most days..
It's just hard to find value playing on stars, when I get so much more rakeback/reward playing at PKR. So for now at least I'll stick with PKR, but I might sometimes play some tourneys on Stars also, but yeah - I've definitely given up the 'grind'.
