Re: Poker Stars: VPP per hand - post-legislation edition
It's kind of common-knowledge but I think the situation may have been changing although I really don't know for sure.
You have more 1/2 limit games running with some total nits who are there just to earn points I think so that keeps the pot-avgs a bit lower. I think you will see more pre-flop liming in that game too so you will have more pots with 2 or 3 players that just won't make it to $10 whereas on 2/4 I think it is slightly more likely to make it past the $20 mark.
Overall though, I think it varies and probably mostly evens out to being roughly the same.
Of course, on 6-max the 2/4 games should be earning more points because the 2VPP barrier is only for a $40 pot which will happen often enough at 2/4 to make it worthwhile.
For a long time I thought the 1/2 games were earning a VPP at an $8 pot until I realized they didn't rake in nickels at that level. So I thought 1/2 was definitely the better spot to earn cheap VPP's vs. 2/4.
