Games are great. Fish everywhere.

I was watching the lobby today. far fewer games than normal. But I didnt have a single person in any of the 10/20 or 5/10 marked red.

There was also a FR 10/20 where I had 6 of the players marked as full blown fish.

I was drooling wishing I could get into the games

confirmed less games but slightly improved overall game quality from 2/4 to 5/T

Pretty much and 0.5/1 and 1/2 seem comparable in quality to what they were before. My only issue now is that nobody is playing when I want to play (EST evenings and late night). I'm going to have to play earlier in the day now.

not true. 5/T is far better than it was. 5/T used to be full of games with at least 46 SNE grinders. Now its a bad table if there is one

[daiquiri]

just checked with ptr premium's table finder, 7 6m 5/T running, 3 of them has 1 big fish on it, with one of those only 5BB in front of it, remaining 4 has no big fish, some 36/15 type semifish only and not even on every table

[leprous_hand]

thinly veiled ptr premium table finder barge

[ZOMG_RIGGED!]

I guess if ptr doesnt call them a fish they clearly cant be one

[daiquiri]

I guess if someone is a bad 30/20 losing 0,8BB/100 I might not fistpump how awesome the table is with him while I pay 3BB/100 rake

I think some decent amount of non US regular players are waiting for some positive news about cashouts.
At least for me it is very hard to motivate myself if there is at least slight chance that this may turn out to be a play money i am grinding for.

Far fewer games available but a decent amount of fish if you're willing to spread tables over several limits.

Only problem now is the decided lack of FR games means all the Russian ****s like wakeup.frog are trying to play 6 max. Also Mieses is back at 2/4-3/6 sucking out on everyone.

Think of it this way, the more you grind the more of the total pool of $ in escrow becomes owned by PS. Even if your account balance goes up, in total the rake taken helps out the site. You're helping them fund their legal defense, keep the lights on, etc. At some point, you and PS will have all the money and you can talk about where to meet up and split the proceeds. It will be like the "no gambling" golf club I used to play at; just outside the exit you'd see a line of cars stopped with guys cutting up piles of cash on the hood of someone's Mercedes. That will be you and PokerStars Steve meeting up somewhere in Ireland or Belgium, cutting out stacks of Euros.

Motivated now? Go get all the monies and post graphs for us.

What a silly golf club

Agreed. Was in Bible Belt.

It did provide a spectator sport and the stacks of bills were occasionally impressive.

Might as well come clean now. For those of you 5/10-10/20 vets from 06-08, my s/n is BuffOrange. Let me have it! Haven't played much the last couple yrs though.
