I haven't seen any discussion on it here yet.. thought I'd start a thread. It looks like 6-max and MTT/STT players are getting the most love.
I noticed this thread here http://www.fpppro.com/images/vpphandchanges.jpg but it looks a little extreme.. there are likely errors. Can anyone check to see if its accurate?
Highlights I have seen so far
1. +10% vpps for sngs. Pretty sexy imo 
2. Limit players seem to be getting the shaft.
3. FR mass multi tablers are getting hammered.
4. 6-max players are going to see more rakeback than before but are still paying a ton more rake than anyone else.

That's all I have seen posted so far. I hope the FR nit FPP pros would get the shaft. I think it's time to start finding new ways to get people to play poker. Having a ton of short stacking point pros have killed many sites as far as game selections, fish and point races for a lot of us. I personally would rather find something else to do than grind 24 tables for 6 hours a day, nitting it up and gaining points.

I agree completely, but those players generate a buttload of rake for the sites so I doubt they will screw them over too much.

FRNL mass multitablers are actually staying about the same. It's actually slightly better if you're breaking 200k or 300k.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

After 2200 hands, I'm getting .36 VPP's per hand or 1 VPP per every 2.77 hands. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to compare it to last years rate because I didn't write down how many I earned for the month.
I play $100NL FR usually 6 tables and I don't mind starting my own tables or playing shorthanded until they fill up.
What is everyone else getting and how does it compare to last year?
