His point is true, the problem is the that level of play of a 2013 200NL player likely won't beat 2016 200NL.

If you get less than 10k vpps per month next year then no value essentially. You get the extra rakeback from 0k to 10k vpps thats about it. I dont even think you get anything for hitting SN but I am recurring SN not sure about first time SNs.

its changing to monthly from Jan so if your close complete it and get the bonus. It has zero effect on next year if you complete or not. Unless im reading that wrong

the $500 bonus for hitting supernova only applies to accounts that started the year as bronze stars(?), correct?

i started the year as SN.

so i guess it makes zero sense to generate 1500$ in rake for SN...
even 500$ in extra rakeback would be sort of a small incentive given how i dislike stars and how i can probably get 60%ish at many other sites...

oh, ok, that makes sense, I didnt hit sn last year and was surprised by the 500$, as there was literally no info about it anywhere. Anyway, I thought it's just a milestone for every 100k so I pushed hard for 2nd supernova and got 0$ :s

Same situation with 5k vpp short. Was supernova last year. Consensus seems to be not worth it? I'll probably play the same amount of poker next year and get close to 100k fpps again. Just the $500 bonus is all? Do i lose any extra rakeback for the first few months of next year and how much? A negligible amount?

Simple solution. Someone who knows Trump gets him to legalize online poker as long as no TV advertisement and no rake, ie only time charges.

Silence speaks volumes.

They're making a new vip program , new = good right ? Nah we'll get even less rakeback .

I got fooled into believing the new tournament schedule was better as well , went from playing 25-30 mtts on stars per session to a handful .

Stars seems to have forgotten we pay rake to get a pleasurable experience.

Instead they want a bigger piece of the pie and pay less @ the ft , pay more people and introduced bounty builders . Money gets recycled and people withdraw less.

If rake increase is something we as players should be happy about, what on earth are changes that we may not like? Seriously is someone going to come to our houses to anally rape us?
