Great idea.

Funny how some people seem to think they're entitled to other peoples rake (other people = the fish), i.e. getting "their" hypothetical rakeback, instead of FTP.

Kind of like this update.
It would be cool if ridicilous one-hour wait after the first round of HU MTTs was fixed.

Poker rooms that use weighted contributed instead of dealt MGR computation typically offer 30 to 40% rakeback deals instead of 27%. 27% is really small now...

weighted contributed has nothing to do with winning the pot - what u contribute matters - and u can contribute 50% of the pot and loose it obv.

Contribute means that the amount u put in the pot doesn't matter, u just have to contribute. Weighted means that people that put consistently large amounts of money in a large number of pots gets rewarded. The optimal play now would be to play large pots with marginal holdings. Sounds like a winning strategy to u?

I don't know if this has occurred to people or not but IMHO Rush Poker was virtually unplayable because of dealt rakeback. I suspect that rush poker will get a whole lot better very soon.

if thats the case its even ****ing worse. I get like 20 extra medals a day from that. AKA ~6x what I get from making IM. FTP has done nothing but lower my bonuses. I will 100% be leaving if Stars ever introduces Rush.

Gotta be ****in kidding me.

New Rewards System my mother ****ing ass.

srsly ftp way to go. And stars has even made their own reward system just that much better taking away their VPP clearing reqs for cash bonuses. WAY TO GO FTP.

Do black card members automatically make Iron Man each month? If not they should, would be an easy fix for the "I play a billion hands but only on a couple of days and not some hands on 25 days" complaint imo

terrible terible thing w the contributed rake. my playing style is pretty standard (around 19/17 in 6max) and the difference between contributed rake and mgr over my last 110k hands is almost 2k, which would result in about 500$ rakeback-loss for me..you cant be serious with that???

welll, if you look at it like that, contributed is a lot better for the winning player than dealt, because dealt he would have to split RB with the whole table, not just with the other players in the hand...

I don't know if this is true. Most fish play tighter in Rush because they can fold and get another hand right away. I doubt they even have rakeback.

Basically all WINNING ring game players (LAG, TAG, whatever) are being fcked by this update.

I think he means that it will get the super nits out of FR and you can have more alone time with the fish.

Yes but some of us regularly do over 10K points a day which means 100+medals a day which add up. For them to take that away is ridiculous since they added the black card store which still sucks and will probably always suck.
