Official Census, Stars new Supernova. Good or bad.

This will be the thread stars will look at to determine the responce to their new released program for novas and nova elites. So I am asking everyone who cares, to read up on their new program, do some reasearch on your own and decide whether or not you like the new program.

Lets keep the posts short and list only whether this will likely make you play more or less on stars.

Bad all bad for me. I play about 40-60k hands per month online poker and I will only be playing about 30% of that on stars from now on.

Reasons being.

No rate jump at 200, 300, 400, excettera.

Weekly freerolls are meaningless, I cant play them in the time.

I actually think the regular system is quite good, so anything that goes above and beyond that is gravy as far as I'm concerned.

Good job Stars!

Its good if you like un-necessary kick backs and it sucks if you like to complain.

Good. Lord knows if I'll find myself motivated to do it, though. It's in the back of my mind anyway; I wouldn't mind spending a few months in the shoes of one of you megatablers.

Great improvement.

No extra incentive to play for me. If the incentives at 200k, 300k etc were better I would have devoted all my play to stars and tried to get as high as possible up the ladder.

It's all a bonus on last year, so it can't be bad, but if I had the incentive I could push for 300k or 500k, the new program hasn't provided enough incentive for me to do that so I will continue to just play as much as I previously did and end the year around the 200k mark.

Just some quick numbers I worked out for 6max limit:

Limit / Vpp earnt this year / Equivalent rakeback
5/10 - 300k vpp - 35%
10/20 - 300k vpp - 39%
10/20 - 750k vpp - 47%
10/20 - 1M vpp - 56%
