Midyear 2010 PokerStars VIP Program Change (and MicroMania in July) - Page 4 - Internet Poker

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..

Yeah, this is kinda its true. They raise the rake, they get MIIIIIIIIILIONS in rake and we get incredible 6$ INSTANT bonus for 375 FPP

Why would you think that?

I haven't seen anywhere that anyone has said that nor any reason to make that assumption.

Its equivalent to $.016 per FPP which i believe is the highest rate of conversion you'll get for FPP directly into cash, so its probably worth getting unless you really want to save for something in the store.

Guys, come on, Stars are still the best site, even with rakeback u wouldn't play FL at FT, even at 0.05 they play betfold there, and at stars at 0.25 nobody ever folds

steve- realizing the limit player oversight and quickly adding them was well done.

Seems like this is a attempt to do something for the micro stakes guys after the huge blunder a couple weeks ago. (unannouced rake change) at least they realise there mistakes and are trying to give a little something. Even tho its not much its better than nothing.

Its worth 0.016, the same as the 4K bonus.

Heres to hoping they get around to fixing their other blunders as well....

So just to clarify, .05/.1 PLO8 is or isn't included in the micromania promotion?

I see no reason it shouldn't fall under the "pl" part of the promo.

Why is this gold? The $6 instant cash IS good value, but the other three are not good value @ 100 FPP's per $1 for $25, 90 FPP's per $1 for $50, and 87.7 FPP's for $285. It's widely considered good value to get 62.5 FPP's per $1. Plus, you have to clear them.
