Regrind - My journey back into midstakes poker.

Rake races is an idea that I also think is terrible because why should the people already grinding for SNE get to have more free rewards? That's just my opinion of course.

Yea I agree. Also the 20 game blocks are basically only for when you heater 18 and 27 mans. What do you think about what betfair does where you get points per game, per finish position from first to last and you can play and unlimited number of games? Basically combines the two above ideas.

Good post from 2p2, one of the guys that was at the meetings recently.

Quoting this out of his post

#1 Leaderboard for grinders
How this works is fairly simple, you do usual BoP style blocks of 20, and your total score is 10*your best block + 4*your second best block + 3*your third best + 2*your fourth best + 1*your fifth best. Specifically meant for grinders, but recs can definitely still win too.

#2 (Most important) SNG-Medals loyalty program
If you earned 5/25/50/100/200/400/1000/2500 vpp that day, you would get 2/4/5/6/7/8/10/12 medals. At the end of the month, you get bonus cash depending on how many medals you have. Also, 10% of your medals earned over the last two months carry over as bonus medals into the next month, so building and maintaining a streak is important, but it isn't devastating if you lose like the usual Ironman.

Something along these lines would be an excellent change IMO.
