YouTube sucks. Visit Two Plus Two and read some of the stickies in the strategy forums.

^^ Shows what I know.

Here is a good one. Also I would recommend you play on a site other than pokerstars where you can get rakeback. Rakeback is simply getting a % of your paid rake back from the poker site. You would be suprised how quick rake adds up. Click on the link in my signature and you can sign up at the site of your choice with rakeback. just follow the instructions gl with real moneys

PokerStars FPPs are better than most rakeback deals.

I disagree. Two Plus Two actually did a review of the Pokerstars vip program I can't find the link right now but here is another persons post about it on two plus two PokerStars VIP Club Analysis - Two Plus Two Poker Forum
Post #5

Assumptions:
FullTilt rakeback of 27%
Playing .50/1.00 Cash NL HU
Stars and FT rake is the same....5 cents for each $1, $1 max
Either stars Platnum or Nova status
Avg FPP is .15 / hand (anyone have drastically different numbers?)
Platnum VPP = $0.013 (Takes 50K VPPs to earn $650 bonus) at Platnum
Nova VPP = $0.015 (100K VPPs to earn $1,500 bonus) at Nova
Not comparing game quality (opponents skill level or selection) at either site

Facts:
I played 47K hands at stars and paid $2,335 in rake according to PT
Earned 7,050 FPPs (47,000 * .15)
Earned 17,625 VPPs (7,050 x 2.5) at platnum or
Earned 24,675 VPPs (7,050 x 3.5) at Nova
$229 value of VPPs (17,625 x $0.013) at Platnum or
$370 value of VPPs (24,675 x $0.015) at Nova

If played at FT, would've earned $630 in rakeback ($2,335 x 27%)

Obvious conclusion: FT would earn more $ in rakeback (630-229) of $401 or 4 buyings

Ah, see at the micros PokerStars is a better option as their rake is only 5% IIRC.
