Raising the rake sets a bad precedent, I hate this idea alot.

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

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

Very much dislike any form of Bad Beat Jackpot. (Fish might like it on the very lower limits.)

What is the effective rakeback percentage of a stars player at:

2/4 NL
3/6 NL
5/10 NL

For supernova, and supernova elite. Buying 1500 bonuses and clearing 500k VPP if you aren't the elite. If elite only clearing it barely so now 1.2mill bonus or anything.

Also the expected return? Like 35k, etc, but also a rakeback % would be great. Also how can I calculate this myself as well?

One day a week(month?) Pokerstars should say that they will be having a double VPP day. But dont tell anyone that day and then everyone will play a lot that whole week. Pokerstars will get a lot of rake and on the day after the double VPP day a lot of players will wake up to a nice surprise. eh?

--------- 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.

Thats like saying that because a bar is already popular at 4-6PM they shouldn't look into having a happy hour.

Look at your number of players at prime times(I would think 6PM-midnight EST) and compare that to the dead times(I would think 5-10AM EST).


Theres a reason that so many other companies have "happy hour" specials. And I'm sure there was a reason that PartyPoker used to have it as well.



This idea seems to have a lot of support in this thread. I think you should look more closely at it.

Icy pots friend.

102,826 and counting

I am currently in dispute with one pokerstars rivals over a very trivial amount of money. I have emailed their support approx 20 times during the last month and they have replied just 3 times.. and none of their answers are satisfactory.

Then I read this thread.. and all I think is why do I even bother playing anywhere else?

Pokerstars is far and away the best site and they actually listen and take notice of their customers.

And Scotty is the man! End of story.

See you at the Pokerstars tables.
