how is weighted contribution likely to work
i understand how it works i think - people putmony in pot and then get C4P's depending on how much they put in, more points for bigger contributors ?
my question is how will the C4P system likely to be changed and what is the likely % of rakeback that will be given
don't play here no more play on different site but still like the forum and noticed the other site i play on now has weighted too so thout id get a discussion goin.
also how do vthe top grinders who play a tiny amount of hands think this will affect their play
the likes of that guy tintin who won the kings for cash does he think it will make him play looser
or what about the hi stakes 'reg's who just buy in for 100bb no matter what the table and then just fold for a living?

Hi there
The actual cash for points system will likely not change in the short term.
However, the way you earn points will and will be proportional / weighted to the rake & fees each player contributes. It is a fairer system. Those who contribute more (possibly from playing looser) will earn more points and vice versa.
The more points you earn, the greater your cash for points bonus will be.
Thanks

i understand all you have written
what i meant was right now it's 20 raked hands per point, how many points are you likely to get per raked hands? will it be something like X amount of points per X amount of £ paid?
no i dont think the change will make me play looser as im not uber tight as it is. i cant comment on how my bonus payments would change as ive not seen the official release from sky on how the points will be allocated.
i can only assume that the cash points will be of same value as the raked fees that people pay in stt/mtt. ie as it is stt/mtt get 10 points per £1 in rake so i would imagine rightly or wronly this scale will be introduced to the cash element, so for every £1 in rake on the cash tables theres 10 points to be divided up
It will reward players who create the most rake. Rake is created when someone presses the call button. So if you like to limp in to a lot of pots you will receive more points. If you like to raise or fold when entering pots you will be worse off. So if you are a 15/12 (vpip/pfr) 22/18 or 30/26 you will be worse off. If you are a 55/3 you will be better off. 55/3 don't play much so the extra points to them will be worthless. The first 3 examples will have worse c4p payments.
The first 3 examples will most probably play less (these people generally play 4 to 12 tables), so less tables will be running, but the tables that are running will have a better ratio of the first three examples to the fourth example. So the first three type of players will see a loss in c4p but a rise in winnings.
From a personal point of view I am not for or against it as I am not sure how it will affect what I make. If the overall amount would go up I am for it. If the overall amount went down I am against it obviously.
In the interests of keeping this friendly, we have deleted a couple of posts.
Thanks guys.
