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.

Jason is an unknown quantity at this point
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?
