What happened to pokerstars changing the way they calculate fpp, has that happened yet? I haven't noticed a difference while playing micro.

If I recall correctly they made a change fairly recently where it will calculate partial fpps. This has been in effect for at least a month or two.

They are also changing the VIP levels starting next month. I believe the new numbers are 1200 VPP for Silver, 3000 for Gold and 7500 for Platinum but I could be off.

There have always been partial fpps. They just got around to showing them in the client last month. They said they would be giving partial vpps but they said it's due to the fact that they'll also be offering the games in different currencies and will not dramatically affect the rate at which vpps are earned.
 
There have always been partial fpps? I don't think so, if it wasn't an $8 pot I would get nothing. I could play dozens of $5-6 pots and get nothing. I play 5nl and 10nl where I should notice these partial fpps. I've never had a half fpp shown on my total and as far as I can tell I'm still only receiving one in $8 pots, which isn't often...I'll start paying more attention to when they are added, but I've definitely not been shown any partial fpps.

Those are vpps. Partial fpps occur based on your VIP level. For example supernovas gain 3.5 fpps for every vpp and that 3.5 used to just be rounded off in the client but now the client actually shows the exact number. That's all they've changed since the beginning of the year. They are possibly going to add in partial vpps which is what you are talking about.
 
Ran gooood today! Up 10 buy ins at 10NL. Was up 12 at one point, but the last hour of the day wasn't very nice to me.

It's funny how you can get the cards all day long and then take a break, come back and it's all went to hell.
 
Made goldstar last night at 25NL but not happy that im only beating it at 1.7BB/100 over 50k which sucks.

Congrats on the gold star. If it makes you feel any better I think I'm winning less than 1BB/100 hands over my past 40k or so at 25nl fr. Not sure what is up with that, play 6max run like god, then try fr and just run bad and get completely owned. I think I may be permanently cursed at that game but I'm too stubborn to give up. Played 600 hands of full ring and 6max yesterday, won $2.85 at full ring and $30 at 6max😕

I think I have played bad this month at 25NL which is over 40k of the sample. I keep stacking off light and making some horrible stack offs with TPTK + trips when villians have a set or boats. Going to have to make some cue cards for my game to try and snap out of this bad play from myself. Although I have won 12 BIs this month but it should be alot more IMO. Oh well 2 days to go, I can still make a few more.

but I ran goot in January + still had her then lol !

Also playing poker is so much better than lectures!
 
I was thinking the other day that maybe we should vote or put out ideas of what next months thread name should be, so here are mine...

March Madness (kinda stealing this one, but it kinda sounds like wereall madmen losing so idk)

Mo Money March

ill think of more then..

btw 25nl is treating mewell hope march is nice to me
 
Money March maybe good, "No Money March" is just asking to be cursed. I'd rather not tempt fate.
 
Yea, I like that Curtis. Nominate several names and put a poll up at the end of the month. Shortly after this thread mas named february fever I became ill for the first time in years, bad voodoo.
 
Hero call or stupid call? Villians very aggro + abit of a donk.
