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!

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 guess 2p 4p wont be around to much longer, just trying to get everyone to move up levels before they want to, oh and more rake, it stinks sky.

 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

Or am I off the mark here

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

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

That's just plain mean of Sky Poker. They could have increased points for higher games without reducing the 2/4

Really mean!!! Don't understand really because other changes are cool and totally natural and understandable.

I can see the 5p/5p tables becoming popular with the normal nl4 regs because you still get 2 points. But can not see them in happy hour examples , are they in the happy hours?

Hi belsi,

The Memo I received said this......I'll ask the question for you, but it read as follows

1)      Happy Hours will be extended to now cover all cash table limits (i.e. it includes 0.02/0.04, 0.04/0.08 and the new 0.05/0.05)

Arguably the world's richest & most successful businessman, Warren buffett, always tries to turn these things upside down, & look at the obverse situation.

Do you think those who spend a great deal more would be happy if they received the same points as those who spend less?
