or they could just play a lower limit if they cannot afford to buy in with a bigger stack? last I checked you too could buy in for 100bb for as little as $2.

I don't know about what they would want. I know that I definitely prefer these changes to what the games were before. I also know that there is more room for improvement and I hope that it gets implemented in the future.

Between the two, I'd prefer the way it was but I'm dissatisfied with both.

You are way too ignorant to argue with dude. People have been complaining about this for a long time. The time period has nothing to do with it in the grand scheme of things neither do typos I make you imbecile.

If you want to ignore the points I am making and focus on other minor bullsht then so be it but I really have not seen any sort of contribution in this thread from you today or yesterday. Are you in the freshman dorms yet or is that next year Mr. Whiz Kid?

my 2 cents- The changes are absolutely great!!!

250bbs instead of 200, little change but HUGE plus.

Love it and well done Stars.

And you are way too dumb to even realize what he is saying, makes it more clear why you shortstack

Re: PokerStars Announcement of Changes to NL/PL Cash Game Buy-ins

Simple timeline for Pokerstars:

Fullstackers: Lovin these games and so are the casual players!

Shortstackers: Whoa dude you hear Imsakidd has this brainless strategy of mostly shoving or folding preflop? he makes great money because he doesn't have to adapt to good thinking players!

Fullstackers: These guys are a tad annoying. Guess I'll just take a few hands out of the bottom of my range preflop.

Shortstackers: time to multiply!

Fullstackers: This is getting a bit more annoying. Any ideas Stars?

Pokerstars: here's some 50bb min tables for ya!

Fullstackers: great thx!

Shortstackers: yay double up! time to create an open seat!

Casual players: open seat here open seat there

Fullstackers: boy these 50bb min tables are kinda tough. I love playing poker tho so I'll sit here for a while

Fullstackers: sucks that we have to play with shortstackers so we can play with more than 15 of the same people. got anything Stars?

Pokerstars: yes we do! we gave shortstacks their own 20-50bb tables and you all get medium and deep tables! should be great!

Shortstackers: thx lol. no more fullstacked regs with good shove calling ranges in our games and casual players sure love joining games with open seats that we constantly create when we double up and leave!

Fullstackers: sigh

If it's so confusing, how come they're all able to find the game they want to play in?
