I'm neither focused entirely on C4P or need C4P to earn profit at NL4, thank you very much. I'm just stating the 'grind' won't seem worth it to me anymore. Its a shame as i was enjoying it, and was actually going to target 4k in february, but this recent change has stopped me in my tracks, and has really upset me!
Poker Points The Poker Points awarded for cash games have been restructured to iron out anomolies, & make them fairer across the board. Some have decreased, some have increased, overall the change is neutral. Details of the new Poker Points at various levels are shown in detail HERE Posted by Tikay10
As soon as I saw this I knew it would be directed at 40nl which is where I play the majority of my poker. For the points to go down only 1 point and the 50nl to go up a point I think is a very good way of doing it by Sky, and not just reduce 40nl by 2 points. It does mean however if I put in the same amount of volume as other months where I made 10,000 points I would effectively now only get 8,888.
I like to think about things positively though and I think by them doing this I will see a lot less players dropping from 50nl to play 40nl leaving more seats for lesser skilled players and will make the level a lot more beatable. This in turn will make me want to play more as I should be beating the game easier and will mean although I may get less in rake back, the profits I get on each session should more than cover it.

You know jj spewed this one out about 30 mins before, just to wind him up I dismissed it first hand. But you are spot on. Happy hour was mental for nl40, we had pro's whose br is in the 10s of thousands playing nl40!
All I have to learn is to call with the second nut str8 and I might be joining you, assuming I havent binked a job by then, sigh..........
** - please note that Poker Points are rounded down to the nearest point at the end of a session
So as i understand this it is necessary to play 40 hands per hour for the levels with 1/2 points or loose the 1/2 points in the case of 2p/4p all your bonus in the happy hours?
People going mental regarding C4P ) Come on NL4 people, £5, a buy in and a bit - sure you can win this at the tables very easily question for all Would we rarther have no rakeback and pay less rake ) Very good marketing but robbing peter to pay paul is a bit much! Do players really pick the sites with more rakeback or less rake payable! Posted by rancid
Scrap rakebak altogether. Who needs it anyway??? :P

in my case it is significantly more than that.
feel like been punished 2 month in a row, 1st with the change in c4p scheme then reduction in poker points to acheive c4p.
flip side it might get me motivated about keeping my roll going north and stepping up levels
I only play 2p/4p cash and would rather have the rake reduced winning slightly more when I win and not rewarded for just playing a flop. I think the fairest for everyone is to reward people that win the games not those that play lots of flops! Or am I missing something? In truth it doesnt effect me to much either way but as Tikay mentioned what is fair I thought I would add my views.

poker points aren't rewarded per flop seen. they are based on 20 raked hands at the table. tight players receive the same C4Ps as players who see every single flop
As this doesn't directly affect me i think i have an unbiased view, (see above) but as we are talking about getting points for this an that, why on cash tables do you get more clp for winning a hand at the higher levels you play, after all a hand won is a hand won what ever level you play. The players that can offord to plat at the higher levels are already getting more c4p and less rake, so lets be fair sky, lets have the rake the same at all levels and the points rewarded the same for clp, whatever level you play. P.S i have know chance on that either lol

I don't think so, if you fold pre flop you get no C4P :S

A raked hand is defined as any hand in which you are dealt hole cards and a minimum of 1 pence in rake is taken.

as long as your dealt in the hand and no matter if you fold or not as long as 2 people go to flop it counts to all as a raked hand

If you keep fish in a tank you don't starve them, you sprinkle in Food now and again to feed them, or they die. ?
