PokerStars Updates Rake System: 'Weighted Contributed' Starts January 1, 2012
PokerStars announced changes to its rake system starting January 1, 2012. The new system is called 'weighted contributed'.
VPP points will be distributed proportionally based on each player's contribution to the pot. This means that players who contribute more to the pot will receive more VIP points.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes.
