hi jjandellis,
a warm welcome to our community! we are happy to have you join us.
as for the status points, as you already discovered, you earn them at different rates depending on the room. this link
CLICKETY CLICKY FOR STATUS POINTS INFO explains the system and how many you get per room.
it doesn't matter what game you are playing, whether ring games or tournaments. as long as you are earning points there, you are also earning points here, so in essence, those points count twice (one for the room which you can spend however way you like depending on their vip system/store, and second for here which allows you to unlock educational material). so if your Stars account was tracked to PokerStrategy.com, you also get status points here for every VPP you get. your VPP/FPP's are in no way diminished and you can still use/spend them as you like.
i hope that was clear.
if you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
it is very important to track your account properly though by using our download links/codes. otherwise, you wont be properly tracked and you will not receive any points.
smiles,
wendy
