They probably upped the "price" when they upped the number of tables you can play at a time.

When you can play 20+ tables at a time, 10,000 FPPs isn't such a big deal.

That makes no sense. So if they allow 100 tables books are going to cost 10000 points?

I think the reason is probably that before the books were too cheap perhaps. Mathematics of poker for 1000FPP with shipping included, when the shop price is 30$.

I don't think the upped the price of any other item. All is the same i think.

I thought others had mentioned that they had raised the price of some other items too...like some of the electronics or something perhaps.
I haven't been following it though.

I agree that the old price on some of their books was a real bargain though so I guess I'm not surprised.

they also upped the price of their all clay chip sets...

they used to 35,000 and 42,000 and now they're 44,000 and 55,0000.

so now... for providing them a mere $17,600 in rake, they'll
be happy to give you a $600 chip set.

Possible reason. Since the store went up there have been a couple of Postage increases, other carriers have increased rates and or fuel surcharges as well. The US dollar value sucks. Other costs involved in running the store also go up.

well its sad.....

and no,all the book went up by like 500 fpp and some even up to 1000.....

but yeah,some books were a good deal but,to earn fpp,u need to play at like almost 1$ limit or near it....so the book can cost u much more if ure not a winning player....

aboutt he elctronics,that i didn tknow....well if it s about the us$ because it ain t going great..u really thing when the dollard will go better then pokerstars will drop the price...i dont think so

once it goes up,nothing comes down after
