    Become pro or not?
    I am over 5000 points now so I know I will be at 5000 if I become pro. But is it worth it? I don't want bitching and bickering on this thread, just real rationale and reasoning. Can I immediately use my 5000 points in the sbr store?

          Looks like you acquired 5k points fast, so yes, I think it's a good idea. It's not that difficult to get over $200 worth of items from the store in a year.

            If your 5k points carry over to pro, it's worth it. It's worth it even if they don't.

                I appreciate the feed back guys. I am going to become pro soon. I think I will use 3000 points to get a 1000 ** gift card and go from there.

                  I was pro for a year. I see no reason to renew it.

                      Correct. Still worth it.

                      I'm not the most responsible with my points, but I've amassed well over 10k and happened to piss them away, time to start collecting some things. If you can't get $200 if gift cards in a year, you have failed miserably, and lost well more than $200 on your actual wagers.

                        yea I am going to do it eventually I do think its worth it. The only that I think that makes it not worth it is PRO's (not many) thinking they are so superior. I dont like that or would I be like that.

                              Ham 100 times yes....Only the Brok dik fuks will argue no because they are fukin stupid.
                              I went Pro early Dec lat Nov not sure since then I have cashed out around 400 in gifts.
                              I have donated 200 to a charity and I can use that for a tax break.
                              Bottom line at this pace ill be cashing around 1k for the year so the math is 200 to get 1k.
                              Simple you would think but many here will try to argue lol. If you went in your bank today
                              and they said give me 200 we will give you 1k what would you do?????
                              If at this current time you can only roll 3k in pts go put 2k in pts on a future bet that is laying
                              -1000 or so. I had 7k when I turned pro an I put like 1500 on a -600 so I turned with my pts an had the future still open. You get 12 pts a day trivia twice a week and better cards in poker
                              This one is a no brainer for those that have a brain

                                I agree but for you to say that is stupid. You have been here since 2006 you went pro in late 2012 so more than SIX YEARS. Thats a long time to think for a no brainer. Just saying

                                    u would have to try really hard not to get more than $200 back in giftcards alone....i havent even been PRO a year yet and have made almost 1k in cash from a contest and tons of giftcards not even trying...and i wasnt even playing poker til Jan....it is a no brainer

                                            3000 is for renewals of existing pros.

                                              You should have become a pro before the contest was over.

                                                if u are a non-pro they changed the amount of pts that would transfer with u

                                                3,000 is the limit

                                                  Yes, and also the maximum amount of points a non-pro can bring over to being a pro

                                                    Sorry for the dumb question but can a non pro donate to charity?

                                                    That would make you feel better if you can. Congrats on your hit THam12.

                                                      I'm sure this would get me in trouble.... But anyone ever tried transferring points to another player and having them transfer them back after going pro?
