PokerStars & FPP's, Getting Screwed?

In shorthanded limit games 10/20 and up what they offer is basically 13% rakeback once you reach Supernova. Nothing to write home about.
I'm very disappointed.

To be fair you would probably need to calculate in the insane number of free rolls that will be avaialble on a weekly/monthly basis.

If my quick calculations are correct, once the SuperNova Free rolls start in April, PokerStars will be returning back to players well over 2 million dollars a year in free rolls. It is my understanding (hope) that these free rolls will have flat payouts, i.e., that is paying more places a decent amount and not so much at the top.

I was hoping for some rewards for cash players, but it looks like the entire program is aimed at tournament players again. I don't care about freerolls because they are tournaments and tournaments are stupid.

Did you happen to notice the TVs and monitors available?

Although, I'm thinking it'll take me forever to get enough points since it's easier to get them in cash games and I mostly play tournaments :-)

It's kind of odd. It is much easier for a cash game player to earn FPPs than a tourney player but the rewards are heavily tilted towards tourney players.

trash for low-mid NL/PL players
couldn't they at least keep track of fractional FPPs for pots with rake <$1
