Petition for PokerStars to reverse the removal of deep stacked cash games - Page 4 - Poker News

Of course petitions don't work when people are negative and go with the assumption that it's pointless to sign because nothing will happen. It's like people that don't vote and complain about politicians!

Petitions like this don't work because there isn't anything to work. You're not voting for a person or law, you're making the tiniest possible effort with no real-world results.

Why would Stars care if a few hundred people took ten seconds to sign some petition, people who may not be using their real names or even play on the site, or if they did play on the site kept doing so at the same rate? The strike(s) didn't work but at least it makes some sort of sense.

Anyway, the bottom line is that it can't hurt.

Wasting your time with the false belief that your actions have any effects at all, or that they've reduced the chance of something similar happening, is not a positive or even neutral.

No, it's not going to work because it's not going to work. There is zero chance it will have any effect. FYI, zero is less than 1%. You'd have a better chance of building your own rocket and flying to Uranus than achieving anything with this petition.

I'm surprised at anyone thinking that negotiating with Stars is +ev at this point. The writing has been on the wall since before Christmas. They're not interested.

Removing deepstack games has killed my win rate

I never used to buyin for 250 bbs although I would sit down for fifty and it would make it twice as easy to get money from bigger stacks

It contributes to nitty play by everyone at the table

Its you greedy bastards sitting down for 250 that ruined it

Poker stars only want deposits from busted shortstackers. I often keep my stack with a slight profit or slight loss when playing with 150-300 bbs. But I often lose 2-3 buy ins if playing shortstacked. Why? It's psychological and when short stacked and not getting hands for an hour or so I try to force action and raise/draw with 8 outers. Either they don't hit or when they there is only one caller and I still have a short stack. Poker stars know that most low stakes losers are short stackers.

Games run 24/7. Software is still the best even amaya is trying to ruin it. Instant cashouts. Biggest selection of games. And where can you go atm? Party is just even worse choise after the recent changes. Ipoker is just ipoker. Microgaming changed the handhistories so soon it's just like party.
