So since moving to FTP, I've put in several tens of hours at the tables. I've since made Black Card, and I've cashed out roughly 1120 dollars. Pretty good stuff!
But I've been on an epic downswong the last two weeks that has amounted to 500+ dollars lost at the tables. With rakeback I'm probably down around 300-350 or so, but that is still terrible. I'm just really getting on the wrong side of variance it seems. I am not sure if I want to try out stars again or if I'll move to regular tables at FTP. I think I may just try 16 tabling some 5nl and see how it goes.
I think even the bare minimum at FTP for iron man will eventually net me a solid 300 a month once my iron man kicks in at year 4 (1000 medals a month = $200 + $100 in biyearly bonus/mo). I am currently in month 4 so I've got quite a ways to go, but it seems Rush poker is just too nitty and the edges are very small that there just isn't a lot of money to be made. So I think I'm going to make the move back to Stars or do regular tables. The good thing about playing at FTP is that I'm now pretty comfortable playing up to 25NL, and I'll probably buy in at 50 or 60bb whatever the minimum is and do that for a while until I get some solid stats on the regs.
