Pokerstars rake reduction from 1st February

[GaF]

Perhaps not quite as dramatic as it first appears (about 10% reduction) as it largely offsets reduced loyalty point rewards (by switch from dealt to weighted) - but perhaps the most significant thing to note is that the reduction is focused on micro stakes to make the games more beatable (and thus allow players to move up). For example, at NL2, the rake will fall from 5% to 3.5%, with a maximum rake per hand of $0.30 (previously $2!!).
