Did anyone else notice this? I play on NL25/50 and now I'm seeing quantities preflop that I had never seen before, specially in unraised pots where they didn't usually rake and now they do! When did they announce this/change this?

yeah I noticed too, they seem to have removed the lower cap for taking rake so now just take it from every pot that sees a flop. It's going to massively increase their earnings 
shame about ours
Oh, this sucks. Now tilt actually starts to be as good choice for small stakes player.
it threw me for a while 
Of course we will be geting more vpp`s, cuz more pots get raked, but I do agree it does suck for the micros, do to the fact that there is no rakeback on stars.

false bonuses are like rakeback
Can you explain why you'll get more VPPs? I've just checked the rake taken from the pots and it's still %5 of the pot. It was %5 before. No big changes... Just no rolling numbers to 0 or 5...

Because now rake is also taken from smaller pots that didn't get raked before the update. imo.

those bonuses are useless for micro stakes and recreational players. stellars are good, but still only a first few...

Silverstar is like 20% rakeback when you include stellars.
really? whats goldstar like then? i was planning to move my nl10/nl25 roll to fulltilt as with rakeback possible there and the new rake change on pstars, it seems the much better choice..
.. but if pstars stellars are that good, i probaly just stick with stars...
I get the stellars plus turn FPPs into cash with satellites, its worth it, lots of bonuses!
