Hehe, funnily enough I just laughed when I opened my chests at the end of my grind. I guess I've been preparing for this day for a long time or am just a bit sick in the head

There will be both types of regs, the question is which of the types will be more numerous and by how much.
And yes of course this is correct. It's kind of ****ed up, before last year, I'd rarely reg any SNG below $100. And I remember distinctly in like 2013 pretty much playing all $200+, during COOPs even up til 2015 basically never even sitting below $181s etc etc, and now here I am battling in tons and tons of $11 sngs every single day. As you can see, I just sit the whole lobby all the way up to the highest stakes.
I posted a ridic graph in my PG&C a few years ago...it was the profit of all the other regs in all their games played against me all year long (at 6max hyper turbo sats). The pool of regs as a whole was actually losing POST SNE RB in games played vs me
.
So by me now having to sit lower and lower to keep up my action, it's going to keep pushing lower stake regs down and that really hurts a lot of semi regs who probably win at a small clip (and now will be losing players). So this situation does really suck for everyone. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
Edit: Went and found that post and the data
link to the post:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=855
It was 2015 results of the reg pool with what 2016 'SNE' RB was going to be (45%)
"Also went back through that set of data vs the other hyper sat regs and put in 45% RB this time, which is what SNEs will get in 2016. Pretty absurd, over the ~270k game sample of games, the regpool is -145k post RB...just wtf."
