You are wise. I truly believe this is better for one's bottom line, not to mention one's sanity.

a leaderboard of it would really be perfect, just have it update every day at midnight or something, without showing screen names. i really dont see the harm in this, and i think it would only get people to try to grind faster, thus bettering pokerstars' business. something like the top 100 would be sweet, but top ten or so is fine too.

I don't think players going for SNE are precisely very lazy...

it was sarcastic i meant to point out the extra work the big multi tabling grinders put in compared to the lesser amount of work the players who work on their game and become better have to put in to achieve the same amount of money

anyway, yes, VPPs per hand will change dramatically based on playing style
the SLAGs at 100NL get about .43 VPP per hand
the tightie TAGs get .35 VPP per hand

Every player gets the same at the table, it doesn't matter how much rake you generate.

If you play tight you make the whole table tighter, hence bringer everyones average down!

i understand the reasoning, but to me this difference in VPP/hand seems a bit too much, where did you get these numbers, are they estimates or actual documentation?

The higher the tables VPIP the more VPPs you'll generate hence the more slags and loose players the better for generating VPPs.

The real thing to worry about though is becoming a better player, anyone who focuses primarily on the SNE chase as opposed to becoming a better player will make less money, guaranteed

I'd totally be up for a VPP leaderboard. I'm at ~19k, and assume im somewhere around the top 50, but it would just be nice to see how I rank compared to other players.

Also, something that might be nice for FR players. Why do 2/4NL tables and higher get a VPP at 1$ instead of .40$? This results in a lower rakeback % for your higher stakes players. If the standard was just changed to 1 vpp at .40 rake, it would be a bit more reasonable for mid stakes FRNL players to reach supernova.

Just my 2c
