*** OFFICIAL 2012 STARS REGS THREAD!!! ***

[railgun]

damn i am tilted with all bots on ipoker... nice thing there is high rakeback (57,5%) but volume is not great as on stars
what do you guys think , compared with todays stars game.. is it +ev to start grinding micros on stars from the scratch (bronzestar)?

[pontylad]

Ha, thanks guys. Have to confess that i heard the "sailors" bit elsewhere... just seemed to fit with rumba64's general attitude.

More dear reg', to follow in future.

[NWJim]

I haven't played tons with Rumba64 but he got so heated when I called his 4b shove with ATs and held vs A9. Definitely a confirmed douche, I'll for sure troll him everytime I get him at the tables.

Anyone else heard of news about pokerstars.es? A buddy of mine said pokerstars.es is set to launch within the week and it will be gg for all the Spanish shortstacking scumbags on pokerstars.com. Can anyone confirm that cause I haven't seen anything on the internet about it. As nice as it would be to get rid of shortstackers it is a little bittersweet if it is true since the vast majority of them aren't even good at shortstacking.

[pontylad]

unfortunately it won't be the end of the pro spanish shortstacks, since most of them have moved to the UK already, and ones that haven't surely will move out of spain eventually... will lose all the spanish fish though

U realise that most of the pro 40bb Spanish players have moved to the UK or are in the process of moving to the UK, right? So we just have less fish and nearly the same number of pro short stackers.....

[El P]

yeah... but at least they'll be colder.

[Banimal]

because they have moved specifically for poker it is going to mean that they will likely be putting in a lot more hours than they originally were. Them being colder isnt a good thing either because they will have another reason not to leave the house = grind more.

[pontylad]

^^ haha solid post.

Bergluur you better not have been lying to me at the tables... if watching 12 hours of star wars is what it takes then i'm man enough to do it!


And in other news, all the Chinese regs that used to play 100 and 200nl have all disappeared at the same time, haven't played with any of the "sweat shop" gang in a week or more. Has anyone played with westxloser, Davidx444ever, doomxlance or the other one xjisbian (whatever the **** it is) over the last few days or week? I is a suspicious cat. Always fun to watch them sit in and out when fish do etc etc...

[ImSry4u]

so bad that all the spanish fish are gone. please dont ever move russians! otherwise games`d be dead.

most? i seriously doubt that
only a tiny percentage will move imo given that they are all breakeven players/slight losers

Most of the bad shortstacks weren't really that much of a problem. Loads of the good shortstack players have already moved and moved months ago. Why do you think you see so many 40-50bb players from the UK at the tables? Majority of them are pro spanish players and not british at all. All the terrible players obviously will not move, but they are far less of a concern than the better ones. the change is going to have far more of a negative effect than a positive one.

And most of the b/e or slightly losing ones still make v decent money from sne etc.

[Frenzied Deity]

nayita (500nl ss-zoomer) plays from portugal. Not sure if he's always been there or not but jussayin'. Pretty easy for any of them to move over to portugal I assume.

[pontylad]

nayita used to be from spain... (yeah i meant to mention portugal previously as well, just knew that ten's of spanish players moved to bournemouth in the uk recently).

Just look for the tards that type jajajaja after winning a hand, then you instantly recognise that they aren't british etc.
