Cliffs:
-Link to Stars Steve's table of cash game increases:

-50/100+ stays the same, 10/20 hu is doubled, 10/20 6max stays the same
-25/50 rake is increased hugely:
HU: +400%
3-4: +33%
5+:+67%
-To figure out how this effects you, go to PT4/My Reports/New Report/Player Report/Player Per Hand, then filter for the relevant site and stakes in the filters tab, for example

-My example: I didn't play 10/20 hu this year (and 50/100+ is unchanged), so I filtered for only my Stars/FTP hands and then looked at 'My rake contributed' by number of players, then (since all pots at high stakes are capped rake) I can just multiply my rake contributed by the factor of the proposed changes (e.g., my hu rake x4). Example of PT4:

-Results are that I'll pay around 13.5k more hu, around 7345 more 3-4h, and around 13270 more 5+ handed, for around 34115 more total.
-If you're a hu reg or a high volume 25/50 reg this will effect you much more.
-These numbers are lowballed by a significant amount, since only around 4/5th of my yearly volume is in this database, and there's still 1/6th of the year left. So, an adjusted number would be around $46,600 more in rake per year. I think most people can also expect a higher proportion of 25/50 and a higher volume on Amaya in 2015 due to game conditions.
-My total expected rake was around 100k a year so this is around a 45% increase.
-If you're a 25/50+ reg you can probably expect around +50% rake on average.
