lol

You might want to see a therapist and talk about why you're so angry.

Are you really saying that doing something completely legal within a game structure is the same as CHANGING the rules of a game in the middle of it? I'm not the one that made SNE "one big game," Stars is. Given that structure and the fact that people have based their lives and livelihoods on it, making a massive change to the rules of gameplay during the process is unethical, much more so than examining the rules of a game and exploiting it to your advantage. Do you think counting cards is wrong, too?

lol stop using the word unethical like that

there will be shallow tables added where SNE-hopeful shortstackers can battle it out. from what I hear there are plenty of fish that still play these on tilt so it's not like everyone who shortstacks is going to be left in the dark. just those who are terrible at it won't have the advantage of leeching off of one fullstack trying to play vs. other fullstacks.

i doubt most of those posting ' SS die' over here are winning at $40/hour.. most are just acting as if they'll win $40/hr if all those SS-ers were gone from the game.. ! lol !

stars did something like this lot earlier, only that they gave deep stackers their own tables..!!

a huge chunk of fish buy-in for minimum (Esp, in FR).. So, this wont hurt SS-ers too badly.!!


no..

winning players must be minority ( deep and full)..does that mean they should be somehow banned from playing poker ?
If anything, that should be good for poker economy, aint it ?

I'll attempt to get 2m VPPs next year if there is still SS-ing.. I'll get 500k this year anyway and 1m if PS doesn't change the games....!!

+1

its too early to say that was for the better !

50bb tables, or table selection..!



lol at anyone thinking SS is mindless shoving.. Trust me, it is anything but that..!

lol.. full stackers will stay..
its been couple of months since FTP made changes.. You could have moved to FTP already ..!







- The fact is, all those complaining are complaining only to force bad players buy-in for more so that they can earn more. If it was purely for the pleasure of playing deep stack poker every one of you should have been playing 50bb tables on PS or deep stack tables on FTP long back. You all could have boycotted the regular tables. Ofcourse, it might hurt you in the short term, but eventually lack of full stackers on regular tables should force the SS-ers out of their game, aint it ?

- Even if FTP has had higher number of cash players due to increased BIs, its too early to judge. Many deep stackers from PS would have started playing on FTP on experimental basis, but the higher number of better players (in turn, lesser winrate) might force many to return to PS's better rakeback system. Probably a reason why PS will wait until April Mid to implement their own changes as they'll have an opportunity to analyse the effect FTP's changes has had in rake generated (aka, player pool).

- Sammykid was right in saying that mid-year changes will affect lots of players who SS to earn rakeback. FTP had a flat 27% rakeback system, something you dont have to plan for or work an year for. But PS's is different. Some have dedicated their whole year to be SNE and its unfair to have mid-year changes after announcing everything about VIP system for the year earlier.

I disagree with 100% he said...

Every ratholer who has a brain should've thought after FT made the changes:

"Well, there is something going on. Probably they will change something during the year, so I better try to learn to play 50BBs+ Poker to be on the safe side"

instead of

"Well, I make a bunch of rake, they will never do anything against shortstacker, what a lame discussion blahbla"


Must suck extremely for u guys, who made a solid living of poker so far without investing much brain or time for theory.

Many of you guys will never be able to beat games fullstacked bc you suck and many will also not be able to beat games with a 35BB stack.

Really really good would be if Stars increases Min-Buyin to 50BBs instead of 35 BBs because then I can guarantee that 50% of you r flat broke til the end of the year...

I mean, I can understand your fear, but as I stated very often the last time:

"Maybe poker is not the game created for u to make a living out of it"

Hey buddy they're a poker site. Poker is the game they provide not some player reward system. Learn to play the game of poker and your "livelihood" will be okay.

On a side note, it's great to see we now how two of these threads.

lol..exactly what I was saying.. you all just want deep stack bad players* all for yourself.. and you aren't too bothered about the 'ethics, integrity etc' that you are all really pushing forward as justification..!!

*termed a bad player since, a deep stack joining a table with 5 SS-ers must be terrible at table selection..!

and btw, if playing a 35BBs stack is so easy and so profitable I don't get all the complaints from the ratholers?!!

Everybody will be satisfied or am I missing something here??!

in which case y dont u just be content with the game they provide,which would obviously include 20bb min buy-in tables.

yes you are.. 35bb might be easy if a good SS-er decides to develop and implement a good strategy..but as of now 20bb is even better. .
