In order to complete the sticky on PokerStars Rakeback Equivalents in NL Strat and my VPP Calculator I need people with samples >25k for 25nl-200nl 6-max to post their VPP/hand. I outline how to figure this out for each level in this post http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ps-t65238.html using PT2 but keep in mind that the first VPP will happen in pots with at least $0.40 rake and the second VPP will happen when the rake gets to $2 (as opposed to $3 for full ring).

Thanks.

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.

Lost a lot of database I'm afraid. But here goes. 25nl 6max.

Hands total: 10304
First VPP hands: 1076
Second VPP hands: 105
Total VPP: 1181
Hands per VPP: 8.725

Btw PT3:
1) Reports tab
2) Available stats || Add (double click) "Hand #" and "Rake"
3) Report Stats || Filters || Expression: amt_rake > 0.40 || Validate || Save || Ok
4) (Report) Name "VPP 1 Hands" || Save

Repeat for VPP 2 Hands with amt_rake > 2

Then use the master filters to limit the shown hands to one stake at a time so the report can remain generic.

I'd like it if someone who plays a little higher stakes (who sees $40 and $60 pots more frequently) could sit at a single table for a bit to verify that the second VPP on 6max occurs at $2 raked and not $3. It probably does and I just confused myself by being surprised that the rake doesn't cap out at $2 but still at $3.

I'm not sure if you did this but it should be any pot where rake is greater than or equal to $0.40 and $2, not just greater than.
