PokerStars.com VIP Program and Ring Game Rake Changes effective January 1, 2012 - Page 89 - Internet Poker

I have been a 50nl FR reg for a while and have had a number of around 40k hand months, which usually gets you platinum star at only 50nl, this year so far I've played 40k hands 50% 100nl 50% 50nl and I'm still 1.5k vpp away from platinum, clearly I've lost a ****load of rakeback. SIGH THANKS POKERSTARS

Are you referring to the news that everyone else knew about twelve days ago?

So what is the most beneficial stake to play at stars atm?

(Assuming a winning player.)

I suppose its too much to hope that this is connected to the hapless way this has all been handled.

(Its still a rumour and I've never heard of him)

Don't know anything about the rumors. The writer however should read more Hemingway.

You need to play more hands if you want more VPPs. No more folding to get rakeback.

I am so pissed off.
I lost about 20% of rakeback this month instead of the old vpp rate with the same style of play. The happy hour is a great joke.

If there are no changes in near future, i will switch to another room step by step. I am glad to have this possibility.
