same number of vpps are awarded, but the recreational players who play much looser get proportionally more.
however, these recreational players get a lower fpp multiplier, so less total fpps are awarded per dollar raked.

yea i was confused when jorge said that too

In simple words, if they change to contributed, Stars are taking some money off the regulars and keep it for themselves.

When I used to play loose, I was always pissed bc I was contributing way more rake than I was getting credit for. I'm not sure how it would affect everything, but I know it would be a lot more profitable to play higher stats with contributed rakeback.

Lautie isn't the one I would have suspected Teddy Wong to be involved with.

they probably just live together now or something.

crazy people are honest. and lautie is crazy.

btw if i was antchev, id email stars, say what happenned and ask for good information.

Lautie seems to be a very nice guy in chat compared to Teddy whos just crying whenever he loses when hes roughly 55% fav.

Are they both dutch?

Wong was dutch and Lautie was Spanish I think.

ya wong is germany and lautie spanish.

I don't think lautie is colluding with anyone. Played tons with him and he seems pretty nice. Wong is such a crying baby

Other topic: are some of you guys are playing the PCA?

Did that. They said they're initiating investigation, but I think they already gotta know what's the case. Probably nothing wrong but it was too weird to pass.

Agree with all of this.

doesnt mean hes spanish- i always thought he was a scandi. 0.01% chance they were colluding(they wouldnt still be playing if there were for a start).

Like adi said, they prolly live together.

He's dutch aswell I think

Hello, Lautie here.....

Normally I dont post on forums so I do this from a friend's account.. The explanation why Jorge asked us to do that is quit simple, me and Teddy Wong are brothers. Until last week we have never ever played one hand on the same table because we wish to protect ourselves of any kind of suspicion of collusion. Unfortunatly we play about the same stakes and we are both in the hunt for supernova elite, (135k vpp to go yay!...). Because of this and the lack of sufficient games for both of us we played some of the same tables since about 5 days or a week or so. Obviously we talked about it and we play against each other as we would against anyone else. If people think otherwise than please reply with hands or situations or whatever that struck them as suspicious.
To ensure all of you that nothing dodgy is/was going on ill promise, like in the many years before, that teddy and me wont play at the same table anymore. If necessary me or him will drop down in stakes to be able to play enough games. Hope this explains sufficient, if not ill keep an eye on the forum to respond to questions.

all the best,

lautie

Sounds pretty legit lautie. Wow, NEVER would have guessed you two were brothers. And you guys are friends with Rebuy Roope? Crazy revelations to me....small world I guess. I believe you when you say the two of you would never intentionally softplay or collude with eachother, but its definitely best that you are not at the same table in the future.

Out of curiousity, did the Dang bros ever play the same table at the same time?

small effin world

Could have guessed 100 times and probably wouldn't have come up with that explanation!

^^ sick poker family

[x] feels like a twist in a soap opera
[x] i approve of this twist

wow sick.

Pretty nice you came out that str8 forward and that fast too as well. A+ .

thats how its done

so all the 4 handed 5/10 games where i had a brother on either side of me during the promotion seems fair

especially starting games shorthanded i just dont see how its possible to not play differently

so is rebuy roope the father?

hate wong, and if i ever meet him irl I will beat the living **** out of him ( most likely ) .. hes a huge scum bag

how the f is lautie related? blows my mind as lautie is nothing like his brother ( very good thing, respect lautie a ton )

wierd

I had/have no issue with either of them, but the fact that Stars had to step in and stop them makes me worry.
