? It's less rake above the 50

? It's less rake above the 50 level in turbos and less rake above the 10 in super turbos.
These actually look like good changes that should bring more hyper turbo action in particular to iPoker.

Awsome

This is actually much better for hypers as stating at 5 dollar level rake is 4.18% and then the 50 dollar games at 2.6%.  So at the 50 dollar games the rake is super good and with decent rakeback coule be much better than stars.  In my opinion these will be very grindable.  Below is the break down before rakeback.

Low post accounts are

Low post accounts are sometimes triggered by spam filter with links because of how much spam we attract (poker/gambling/etc. discussion seems to hit the spambots quite heavily when you show up in search engines).
Here's a link http://www.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=290587

With all due respect, Ryan,

With all due respect, Ryan, but if you post a pokerstrategy.com link in a matter concerning iPoker, you might wanna mention that pokerstrategy.com has been absorbed by Playtech - the company who also owns the iPoker network.

Hi.

Hi RyPac13 For turbo rake

Hi RyPac13
For turbo rake will be higher: 10s, 20s 6%
This is acceptable, or it is getting unbeatable?

It's definitely beatable

It's definitely beatable because rewards on iPoker can reach around 60% reasonably.
It's also a turbo speed structure, which allows for a good amount of edge.
When playing these, you want to add up your total rewards, then look at the effective rake (in this case, around 2.5% after the changes for those levels). Then you want to compare it to other poker rooms, to see how it matches up. Looking at Stars, their rake is lower, but their rewards for lower stakes players are also lower. Their action is larger, but their action is slightly tougher too. So all in all, iPoker is likely pretty viable for lower stakes players that get a solid deal on iPoker.

@Barrin also husng.com and

@Barrin
also husng.com and pokerstrategy have made a pact.
And Yes 50-60% rb is easy to get for ipoker. So its good deal. If traffic picks up. 
TY rypack for clearing that postcount thing.

Has been a change. I do not

Has been a change. I do not think it is too benefical. I like to play turbos with 5% rake.
And now
10's 7.5%
20's 6.4%
30's 6%
This substantially reduces the ROI and I have not 60% rb, only around 30. so now I'm thinking about what I could do. I do not want to play over 5%. So I'm really thinking of switching to FTP  it will be less rakeback(20-25%)/no any random bonus, but the low rake, better structure may benefit.
so very don't like the new buy-in structure, but i love iPoker. and therefore i really don't know what should I do :S

On 10's turbo 7.5%, but 10's

On 10's turbo 7.5%, but 10's normal 6.38%... Every other limits turbo's fee are equal to normal's fee. I dont understand it...
