Buyin amounts in big-bet hold'em and omaha cash games has been a hot topic recently both in forum threads and in emails from players. Many players have requested changes to our table minimum and/or maximum buyins while others have requested that they stay the same.

PokerStars is diligently examining all information available on this topic. This includes reviewing player emails and posts and exchanging ideas with members of the VIP Player Panel made up of respected 2+2 posters. PokerStars is also surveying casual poker players to learn their preferences. Thanks go out to all players who have offered their input.

This is an important decision and as such should not be rushed. All player perspectives must be given due consideration.

PokerStars plans to announce a decision and implement changes (if any) by mid-April, 2010.

Thank you for your patience during this process.

Thank you for the update and timetable.

thank you for thanking pokerstars bc i am now offically a pokerstars VIP member.

what is big bet hold em

NL and PL.

Thank you Steve! Glad to have a timetable now. After I qualify for nova this month (35KVPP in Jan, 6K so far this month) I'll be excited to (hopefully) return my business back to stars 100%.. or hopefully not move my roll completely to tilt. The issue needs closure, thanks!

Do the math.

THANKS STEVE

i love that your giving them two more months of hope in their SNE chase before you crush their dreams and they have to get a job in the fast food industry. A+ imo.

Great news, looking forward to what the coming months have in store.

Hopefully, I won't be too far behind pace by Mid April. If you ban shortstackers, all of my play will move back to Stars.

Oh hello BurgerKing, any openings?!?!?

if we wait 2 more months and then they make no changes i might go apply to BK. at least do something stars plz, every other major site has..

Thank you for this.

Thank you Steve.
