That's also hoe stars is setting up the identities thing, remember everything below 100bb's, but max the identity at 100bb.
I agree constant 50bb ratholing should be limited somehow.
Yes, we def need to help you stay on ur comfort level
All kidding aside, I agree that 100bb ratholing is def nowhere close to as bad. It's still lame for someone like me to play an 800bb pot with a reg and see him go south to come back with 100bb next hand.

No offense, but saying that ratholing makes it more appealing for recs is just lol. Sure there's a few who do it, but nowhere close to a critical mass. Ratholing is one of the major complaints from the fish.

Not unusual the regs don't like that, however trying to make stars have only tables that suit regs is not very likely and surely regs have to adapt to what the recs want to play.
It is a free market so let them all exist and people will gravitate to where they make the best money, if that happens to be zoom at max 100bb then so be it, or maybe just mail stars and ask for 5 fish per regular table and cancel zoom.
Good luck with that.
Let's try and stay civil, shall we?
I have no idea where this "fish don't wanna play deep" -thing comes from, but most of the whales I've encountered at Zoom don't go south when they go on heaters. IMHO, they have no problem with appearing as the table captain with biggest stack.
I might be more willing to buy the argument that many fish prefer to
buy in short, I don't mind keeping the min BI at 50bb as long as ratholing is dissallowed
