When you play at PokerStars, you earn points for each qualifying raked hand you play in our cash games
Quote:
VPPs at these tables are based on the total rake collected at the table and the total number of players dealt into the hand. VPPs at these tables are awarded at the rate of 6 VPPs for each $1.00 USD in rake collected or 8.5 VPPs for each €1.00 EUR in rake collected. The total VPPs for that hand are then divided equally among the players who were dealt into that hand. Fractional VPPs will be awarded in hundredths.
Any further lessons on a capitalist deal, or is your Nick Bottom impression finally coming to an end? You surely don't read much and don't know who that is, so you can check wiki:

I do understand that you are making some ridiculous idiosyncratic argument in order to get something that you think would make the games better for you, larger pots. However, if this is something you want, you should lobby for three-blind games. If you find it offensive that players who fold are rewarded vpps, I think that's a fair argument and you should be clamoring for contributed rake formulae for vpp-awarding. What you should not be doing is arguing for the maintenance of an unfair system clearly the result of a programming oversight, just because this particular error benefits you in an unintentional manner.
The irony of you posting nonsense about contracts and robbery and a series of other quality wiki links is that this is fully an issue of contract and fairness, and has nothing to do with anything else. That you would like the CO to post and make the pot bigger is fine and good, but manipulating the system in a manner that is not fair to players is not an acceptable way of going about implementing your desired results.
Also, do try consider people outside of your particular situation. It is clear you are playing full ring and cannot think outside this box. Also, I would like you to try and provide evidence that most people who are given the option to post in the cutoff choose to do so; anecdotally, myself and others have observed the opposite, by a large margin, but I'd love to see some data.
