I'm 100% against higher rake tables....

a.) scared it'll snowball

b.) kill fish faster

c.) hurt people who accidentaly go on it who aren't going for milestones etc. (I have an auto clicker so fast tabels etc. don't "warn me")

--------- Rewards (VPPs) for play during the dead hours.

6AM today Stars had more RM players playing than 2nd and 3rd place combined. This seems like a huge cost for little possible net gain.

--------- Keeping/removing the freerolls and the alternative options.

The $20k weekly and $100k monthly are working IMO. Whatever happens with the $50k will upset a large percentage of the players. Nothing has been decided.

--------- Added incentive (milestones) in the 600k-800k VPP range.

The best idea I've heard is to change the $7500 at 750k into 2 bonuses. $5000 at 650k and $5000 at 800k
Same as above nothing has been decided.

What is your opinion on slightly expanding the maximum number of tables like Full Tilt has?

------1) Don't think of removing the FPP for Bonus $$$ offer on Dec 31st.

Check the website

-----2) Very much dislike any form of Bad Beat Jackpot.

We don't have one and don't expect that to change.

------Let's say you have a weekly prize pool of 5 million FPPs

That's $80,000+ and doesn't solve any of the current issues.

-----------How about a daily VPP bonus based upon a certain number of hours played with a minimum number of hands per hour?

This seems like a huge cost for little possible net gain.

-------Instead of the freerolls, how about each week there was a specific day/time where each VIP could earn DOUBLE VPPS!

MicroBob would say he can not play at this time (jk said for a laugh). I asked if you would be interested in a bonus of $70. This would be the freeroll money divided by everyone. Another issue, anything we think up most be practical. Meaning Stars is a very stable site because the Programers tell Marketing "no" if it might cause a problem.

I don't think we should allow more. The good news is it's not my call.

Was there a note before that these might not be available in the future?
