Pokerstars fpp changes?

#1 9th June 2010, 6:20 AM

I only play microstakes .01/.02 no limit. Have you guys noticed that now they take 1 cent rake from pots after the flop for every 20 cents? Before, it used to be just after the pot was over 1 dollar. If they are now taking rake of 1 cent, does that mean we are earning fpp points, even though it may not amount to much. I hope so, cuz i play mainly for the points! does anyone out there know for sure???

I'd be really surprised to find out that they only raked $1+ pots at .01/.02, how often does a pot get that high at that limit?

It's a change they just implemented. Stars used to be the best for 10NL and below. Now I wonder how close FTPw\rakeback and pokerstars is now.

Wow, I had no idea, bummer that such a nice benefit for those limits is going away...

They may get to a point where they have to offer rakeback if they start losing players, though many may not notice the change.

I didn't even know they took rake in ring games. Thanks for the information!

Hate to hijack but, do any of you have anything in particular that you spend your FPPs on. I have about 500 and was wondering if a Step 1 ticket is the best option or if there are better satellites that run regularly?

The FPP system is a form of rakeback.

I love the 210 FPP sats to the Sunday 1/4mil. I believe there are 20 people, and 6 make $11 in tourney dollars. The Play is horrible, and it's the best value I've found.
