Hi,
I'm thinking about grinding SNGs on fulltilt now. Will grind mostly $5s with some $2.25s mixed in if traffic is too low. I've calculated the numbers and on a 100 day rolling average I should easily make diamond. Now there's also a black card status, requiring double as many points on rolling average. I have read that it's possible to exchange points for $s as black card, for 5% extra rakeback basicly. However, if I do as diamond just exchange my points for SNG-tickets, I also get 4.x% "extra rakeback".
Is there anything very valuable I'm missing? Or is it not really worth going for black card?

Hey mate glad you playing on full tilt poker great site though lower traffic than their sister site pokerstars, beofre there was flat rakeback but they do not have that anymore but still their bonus scheme is interesting for the small volume player from what i heard, you do not need to play a lot to get to gold, couple of matches per day sngs should be enough. If you play a lot pokerstars bonuses will be more profitable, you can check google for those stuffs, it clearly states lower level = full tilt , higher level = pokerstars!

Yeah I deposited $300 initially yesterday, played some games, very soft competition. However traffic is lower than I expected, can't get more than 4 tables up of the same buy in in a span of 10 minutes, obviously can't even reach platin that way, so I'll probably have to switch back to stars, can easily reach gold monthly playing normal volume there
I was simply not as active the past year or so, so I was looking for some change, there have been a few sites lately and there were some great ones in terms of VIP programme etc., but traffic is a big issue for me, 20 SNGs of one format/one buy in level per hour running is the minimum I need, but no site except pokerstars or maybe partypoker (where I unfortunately can't play anymore) can fullfil this.
You won't see me there anymore though I think unless traffic picks up
