Re: ***The OFFICIAL 2012 Stars Regulars Thread***

Some SNE 40bbers said they were dropping 50%, does that mean they 'only' paid 90k rake, instead of 180k to receive like 110k in sne rewards, thus having above 100% rb?

Re: ***The OFFICIAL 2012 Stars Regulars Thread***

No one ever got more than 100pct rakeback on Stars other than the one day loophole on double vpp day. Trust in Stars' greed...they didn't allow 100pct+ rb. They have 50pct less VPPs now, so it takes a lot more hands to get to SNE. It's not a direct correlation between the percentage loss and rb percentage.

Re: ***The OFFICIAL 2012 Stars Regulars Thread***

it's a question of method. since your rake 'paid' differs under dealt, WC and WTA, it's conceivable that the system most favorable to you could register as giving you >100% under another measurement

not true
someone folding 100% of his hands preflop would certainly get more than 100% rakeback using the "dealt" method

it didnt make a difference to stars tho(assuming all the playes have the same vip level) because they were handing out the same VPPs nomatter what so a 100%+ rakeback player was leeching of other players at the table not stars

Cashy,

It's true. You could do it. Let me rephrase. There was no possible way (or no one found it) to have greater than 100pct rakeback and net money. There definitely were some guys in the 80s, though.
