[Closed] VIP System Changes

I don't have time to make any complex analyse, but it there's no glitch there IMO.

All lower limit/volume players get nice RB boost by those steeler rewards, SNs get that 1k too + more from milestones (most of them) and SNEs get $1200 more...

FR players are not affected but it may vary on some limits, SH players get about 9% more VPP than so far (still less than FR players but it's not that big difference now) <- this applies to NL; I'm not sure about FL..

just some calculation based on my NL50sh database:
before 5VPP/$1 change: 22 VPP/100 hands
5 VPP/ $1 (since mid of '09): 24.35 VPP/100 hands
5.5 VPP / $1 (since 01/01/2010): 26.79 VPP/100 hands

I it!

love it aswell, better VPP rate for sng's and the steeler bonus is fun

Going for SN next year? And perhaps $114+ sng's?

I thought about it for a while, but my volume and limits are pretty low, I had like 3 months where I played more then 1K sng's so far, my volume is pretty bad (never even achieved platinum status on stars)

If everything goes according to "the plan", I'll keep on studying and taking it easy, so propably no SN

about the $114 sng's, no that's gonna take a while gotta learn to play poker first

What about you?

Definitely going for SN, but I might learn to play 6max in the process, because apparently higher SNGs are all about breaking even and playing 1 million games/day to get a huge rakeback, which is quite sad =p

Looking forward to see what changes they'll implement in sngs structure though.

750vpp ->>$10

i think that looks WAY better than ipoker (even whithout FPP store)

So for a 25/50NL 6-max grinder... how does this compare with FT's 27% RB + Iron Man?

Actually, the VPP / 100 at NL 50 right now is 12,55, so it's pretty awful.

The rakeback for all the VIP levels are:

Bronze: 9-10% + 5% from Stellar Bonuses
Silver: 14-15% + 5% from Stellar Bonuses
Gold: 19-20% + 5% from Stellar Bonuses
Platinum: 24-25% + 5% from Stellar Bonuses
Supernova: 33-34%
Supernova Elite: 48-50%

That is what would apply while playing my games at NL 25, 50 and 100 anyway

Are you sure? I played 1511 hands this month on NL50sh and earned 361.94 VPP, so it's 23.95 VPP/100 hands

My calculations are from Full Ring games, not shorthanded. So from the 24-26ish VPP / 100 we got before, we now get 12,55 (over a 14k hands sample)
