Midyear 2010 PokerStars VIP Program Change (and MicroMania in July) - Page 3 - Internet Poker

From July 1st - 31st, 50-man $1 + $0.10 'Super Sit & Go' tournaments will be offered. Every player who wins at least one of these tournaments during the month will receive a share of $100,000, divided equally amongst all Super Sit & Go winners in July.

So if you win more than 1 you get a bigger share of the 100k?

There's a difference. Pokerstars tried to accommodate all the NL players, but there wasn't a perfect decision. With this they said we'll give all micros besides limit VPP increase for July. Which to me is a bigger FU.

I'd rather double points at all stakes, but then I'd "want my life back". As is this looks like a nice promo for the "small people".

They lose more than they win (in actuality, not counting bonuses - if playing on Stars).

And where's the stick? You obviously have fed us a carrot,. When there's a carrot there must be stick somewhere nearby. U'd better have told the French and Italian governments to GTFO of French players playing on Stars.com and not in the Leprosarium called stars.fr

Are the micromania 50 man SNGs gonna be turbos this time?

Or will they be like the F40 promo thing you did in February, where they were slow speed?

Because obviously they should be turbos.

So, you raise the rake on the lower limits w/o warning : http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...e-pots-800827/ (100% of micro players are affected)

And you pretend to be nice with your micro-stakes players by giving them a HUGE 10x promotion ? (99,5% of micro stakes players don't care imo/don't play enough/will be broke before to hit a cash bonus)

Wow, congratz Stars (yeah, I am ironical).

Works on your fuc*** buy-in change and eliminate shortdonkers, TY !!!!

They can screw the fishes as much as they want, hopefully 2+2 will make every reg leave in a couple of weeks. 2010 has been pure crap fest for everyone at stars. All the way from 4nl to 20Knl.

Oh wait, i think 20knl actually ONLY has 50bb minimum tables..
