Crazy idea question

If we had bonus VPP tables, would you play them? Example 4-8 limit/nl tables where the top rake taken was $3.50. $3.50 drop would equal 3 VPPs.

Would these be shorthanded tables or full ring? (Or both) I can't really see where you are going with this, as far as what purpose it would serve for Stars or the players (I'm sure there's a reason that we haven't been clued in about yet). When you say 4-8, are you referring to [$4/8] OR [4-8 tables]?

Either way, I think the players would be losing out on this deal pretty bad.

Say we play 100,000 hands where the extra rake is taken and we receive an extra 1 VPP. Say there are 8 players at this table. Each player would have to pay an additional $6,250 in rake. They would accumulate an additional 350,000 fpp (if they are SuperNova at 3.5x) which is worth $5,250 (using .015 as the rate). Over the course of these 100,000 hands, each player loses $1000 that they otherwise would not have.

The extra $1000 that Novas would pay (others would pay much more) might be worth it to some who would get to Elite quicker.

But it wouldn't really benefit anybody else.
