Default Re: Poker Stars: VPP per hand - post-legislation edition

[ QUOTE ]
50NL 6max pokerstars
.235VPP per hand
sample size 24k hands

ok someone help me figure out what im calculating wrong. I don't play at full tilt so i'm not familiar with how rake back works but isn't it MGR * .27 = rakeback ?

if i do this i get $190 * .27 = $51.30 rakeback

over these 24k hands at pokerstars i get 24000*.235 = 5640VPPs at 1.5 cents is $84.60
$84.60 / $190 = 44% rakeback, and this is before i add in VIP extra FPP bonus.... if im silver stars this doubles making it 88% rakeback...platinum is 2.5 FPP per VPP so that would be 110% rakeback..

this can't be right what am i doing wrong??

you pulled the .27 out of thin air. this number is generally used when figuring out rakeback for ftp (which gives 27%)

do total fpp value/mgr = equivelent rakeback %
