does anybody have a tricks on how to get vip pts on carbon faster?
shove every hand at $10/$20 no limit holdem with $1000
the more rake you pay the more VIP points you get ... find a cash game where lots of people are playing loose
In November they are giving out duble points, but you have to opt in for this in Playeradmin
i think it is the same as the way i used to clear bonuses on fulltilt, play plo. in pot limit, the pots get so juiced, and you dont even have to be in the hand to reap the rewards. I have played plo a bit lately again just for this reason. I am usuallyin the razz games which also have bloated pots. but that would be my advice, go to limit or pot limit games.
LMFAO... See how long that lasts... and since you don't make a cent in rake with folding pre-flop... have fun with someone hitting quads or something else gargantuan and losing it all... I know this post had to be a joke... HA!Quote:

it takes time to get points then they change the structure and ur screwed
and this is not true. if you fold preflop, you are still involved with the hand since you were dealt into the hand. the rake that comes out and the points are given to all players that were dealt a hand, played or not.Quote:

Cash games are the fastest way to earn points.
i agree cash games are the fastest way to do it but also the fastestr way to loose money too..so gl on that
exactly they changed the program after accumulating 15,500 vip points and they downgraded everyone just like that
You only get pts for rake that YOU put in, rake doesn't get divided among all who started the hand, used to be that way. This is from carbon's site:Quote:

For example: There are three players in a hand (blinds $1/$2), the SB, BB and the Dealer. Dealer calls $2, SB folds, BB Checks (total pot $5). If no further bets were made, then the total rake taken would be $0.25. Both the BB and Dealer contributed $0.10 each, and would receive 1 VIP points each. Whereas, the SB contributed $0.05 to rake and would receive 0.5 VIP Points.
So SB only gets pts for what he contributed not share of total rake. So if you put no rake in , you get no pts. According to their website anyway.
The higher stake you play that faster you earn up your VIP points, that's how it is and always going to be like that.
Yes and NoQuote:

High stakes tables often have a rake cap ... micros there usually is no rake cap.
You have to have contributed to the pot in order to earn any points. You do not get points just for being dealt into the hand. At Full Tilt you just had to be dealt into the hand, but it doesn't work that way at Carbon.
There are no real tricks, but cash games build it up faster.
I found out, that a .44 Magnum seems to work best...
Carbon is using the weigted contributed rake method and not the dealt method (like FT had and like on Cake network)
Cash games are the fastest way to earn points.
Cash games the fastest way earn pointS
posting here?
hmmmmm.....will have to try the PL strategy you guys mentioned definately sounds like a good idea
Play cash games, specially Omaha Hi/Lo, but Omaha Hi gives a lot of points too.
Not faster.but in the table it fast `_
^^ this is true and something most people don't adjust to ^^Quote:

Yeah, this is what I do to get fast VIP points. I just play like 10 of these at once, but you have to make sure you control your hand ranges and tilt.Quote:

i looked at history, didn't see any wins from you yesterday??? You have to actually win, most pts among those that play. If you go to promo tab and click "fantasy poker history" it will give you like the last 5 tourney's and all the fantasy teams for that tourney, the one in red is the one that won, and has most pts, you get pd shortly after tourney ends, it's automatic.Quote:

Anyway, if you did win then, maybe it's not automatic, though i really think it is, always pays right away after tourney, and Zab just hasn't got to it. Anyway, if you checked history and you really won (your team was in red) pm Zab and I'm sure he'll take care of it.
Ty for the time to respond - it was on Saturday - and they are no longer there in history - I did pm Zab so lets see what happens - just wondering if you have to be ITM to get them also - just confused thats all but thanks for your reply
