Here is a repost of the data discussed on the PokerCast:

The resulting numbers are similar to those posted based on the November/December data. The one significant difference is for PLO. The difference is entirely due to increased play at $50/$100 PLO due to Isildur1 being active in January but not in November or the first half of December. The increased rake at that stakes weighed in more heavily due to the increased number of hands played, altering the final rake change for PLO.

Unlike previous posts, this data separates HU/6max/9max.

Pokerstars Steve in Zoo thread...I encourage you and others to make rake comparisons using data from February 5th and later, after the new rake was implemented AND milestone hands were over. Compare to January 2011, or July or October if you prefer a time period after the changes of late Spring and early Summer last year. August and September were mildly affected by the promotion that made monthly VIP levels easier to attain......
