Hi, I wanted to ask , why there are no NLHE cap tables higher then 25/50 on pokerstars? And if there is no reason for that, can you open them please?
P.S. 50/100 20bb cap in my opinion can be played without any additional verification (like other 50/100 games) because you can loose or win money there slower then in many 25/50 games ( standart stacked and deep stacked NLHE and PLO for example)

The 25/50+ players pool is probably too small to handle different tables.

the 25/50 cap tables are way more popular than the standard and deep 25/50 tables combined (like 2-3x or more i think). anyone in stars would be able to verify this. i think it would make sense to have higher buy-ins available, especially as cap lets people buy-in for smaller amounts - which is perhaps one reason why it's more popular at high stakes.

even I know at least 20 players who will play at 50/100 cap tables while not playing any other 50/100 game. With some fish coming i think it would be more than enough people to start the action ( i definitly think 20bb cap tables on stars is the only place where 50/100 game could be held regulary)

This thread needs more love. I think 50/100 is def a good idea, even though I won't play there within the next few months.

50/100, 100/200 capped tables should definitely exist, and I think that 50/100 would be able to have at least semi regular games running, attracting more high stakes action in general on PS (which certainly brings in more players to the site).

Yeah this needs to be implented, dont see any reason for it to not be, i would def play them myself

I want this also. Someone from PokerStars please respond to this before I become unhappy long time high-stakes reg, looking for any excuse to give some of my play to another website.

+1 for 50/100 - 100/200 cap tables.

Send an email to Pokerstars.

I have already sent them a letter about that on april the 30s and have got this standart response:

and nothing after that.

200/400 , 300/600 and 500/1000 tables are wanted also
let there be fun!

Serious question: Does pokerstars have anything to gain by not offering higher limits than 25/50?

The rails got packed at FT whenever people were playing huge blinds for a lot of money.

I'd be willing to bet that, say, 1K/2K Cap games would attract a lot of attention, even if they didn't run all the time.

there's a bunch of derailed FT railbirds after a new nest.

limiting cap games to 25/50 is burning some serious action potentialz

yeah, cuz stars gives a **** about a bunch of busto beggers finding a new home

afaik obs chat is forbidden on high-limit tables (25-50 cap for example, can't talk to anyone w/o playing there). So that's not gonna be a problem.

And what about hu cap tables? They'll prob be more populair then the 20-50 ones. I would love them.

So sucky to try and play hu cap and have people joining all the time.

Is HU cap really beatable ?

The games are only going to run around fish. Its bad for the poker economy since tons of soft money is removed from the economy in much shorter periods of time than it would take at lower stakes, bad for Stars for the same reason - a soft player may lose whatever he's willing to wager in a period of hours instead of weeks or even months, and its also bad for the fish themselves. Guy Laliberte got massive amounts of clearly unwanted attention for donating millions at exceptionally high stakes games. If he did the same at 25/50, he wouldn't have drawn anywhere near the attention. Most people probably don't even recognize the handle scout326 for instance.

The only reason the massive stake games ran on FTP was probably because certain owners of the site wanted to play in them for profit.

agreed. not sure why there's no hu cap

edit: it's better for pokerstars to have a cap on some hu games, which effectively caps winrates too, i.e. more rake, fish last longer, etc...

... having said that i still like the idea of higher stakes than 25/50 for cap :-)

Sure it is. Check Skaiwalkurrr's acc for example, he is playing only hu shortstacked at 6max tables .


I dont think so : some regular hu or even 6max action will be running at 50/100 - 100/200 ( as it was on FTP shallow tables). Also if some of big name pros (Isildur,KidPoker,Elky or anybody else) joins for example 500/1000 cap table, game will appear immediately. And this action will be interesting for viewers because big names + big money + high probability of seeing someone jamming with trash = big fun

I would also like to see 50/100 CAP and I will send an email to all my contacts at Stars asking for clarification as to whether or not this option will be available to us soon. And if not, the reasoning behind it.

Also, I would absolutely love to see HU CAP tables as well.


YES

My nemesis...

how is there honestly not 50/100 cap. 50/100 deep never even ***** runs. give the customers what they want plz

btw screw hu tables imo. they just clog the lobby up for fish who don't use the lobby filters when its just 20 bumhunters not playing each other waiting alone. hu tables would be great if they had some sort of lottery or king of the hill system to moderate the game but that won't happen as discussed in hsnl.

lol?

i spent a few hours railing 50/100 deep this weekend... how is that possible if it never even ***** runs?
