This really doesn't have that much to do with a player being particularly tight. As long as you aren't some 50%+ see-flop type of player you would likely be either worse off or about the same on a switch from dealt to contributed.
And right now the differences would be somewhat similar to how it is on Stars. That is, if you keep White, Silver, Black levels and the lower-level players get lower rakeback, then basically you are increasing some 10% rakeback player to 15% with the contributed points while reducing some 50% players down to 35%. Something like that anyway.
The points and redemption are worth less for the lower level players. And the net-result is the site not paying out as much in total. I am all for the lower-level players getting better rakeback. They deserve it. But the higher-volume players, who keep the games running the most and put in the most volume, should not have a reduction in value. Which is essentially what Stars has done and what I do not care to see Lock do.
I was very encouraged by the previous announcement by Lock that they were going with a dealt system.
