Announcement: PokerStars Changes to Rake, Spin & Go Prizes, and Battle of the Planets - Page 9 - Internet Poker

Dig one's own grave
Meaning - To be responsible for one's own downfall or ruin. If you try to cheat the bank(read regs), you will be digging your own grave. Those politicians(read amaya) have dug their own grave with their new tax bill(read rake, currency conversion).

So i imagine most of the sponsored pros (certainly the team online) as well as 2p2 pokercast may be next in line to get penetrated?

While I highly doubt that much can be done, spreading the word helps. I know most losing players wont come across this post, however, there are a number of ways to help spread the word. Like everyone in this post decides on the same avatar, people ask why, you explain whats going on in chat, etc, tell them what to google.

Yes, I would imagine most sponsored pros are gonna get ****ed. I was speaking with a lot of them recently at a live tournament, and all of them had gotten dropped at end of years end/sooner then that. They all had nothing but bad things to say about pokerstars.

RIP PokerStars indeed.

PokerStars became the biggest site in poker because of the reputation. Im quite sure that now when its almost all gone Stars will destroy everything they have built in the past.

Well done!

"PokerStars - was one of the greatest company that died because of greed"

Party etc. This is your one time opportunity!

What do you guys think who will take nr1 place in 5 years? Need to buy some stocks.

What is the big deal? More rake = more vpps. More vpp = more FPPS. More FPPS = MORE Rakeback. More Rakeback = More money.

Unfortunately everybody else is incapable (Party), pretty broke & incapable (Most ongame sites), not so interested in the Poker business (most ipoker sites with the casino/sportsbetting background), actively screwing players (Merge). And what's left? 888 with not much of a vip-system, Microgaming which is just a micro site and we're pretty much done with the online pokerroom landscape...
