that thought cross my mind but seeing all the other bugs like missing HHs, VIP progress bar not updating, slower support etc -> just incompetence.

Basically what they did most likely was "we'll cut costs and expect the income to be the same".
Just speculation: we'll fire the current competent high cost IT dept and replace them with low costs ones, it's just programming how hard can it be to do, right?
Fire the current competent support staff, replace them with way less people who don't know much but can write a response in English, etc

What could go wrong with that approach?
People getting frustrated, Stars getting a bad image on forums and word of mouth, etc?
Sure, they lose 3x as much bc of that but at least some executive can say with pride "yeah, I cut a lot of costs, I am the man"

Rapid,

Post **** like that again and you will never be allowed to make another post in this thread. You are one of the worst posters on 2+2 as it is but that **** belongs in micro forum not here. In fact it's probably unfair on them to see that atrocity too.

Really hoping this is just variance and not the new level of amaya evening the playfield, I wouldn't have that doubt under the old Stars management.

How long did it take you to play that many hands?

You mean to say that was bad advice?

I was off running sims on the over-jam whole range in 4b pots strategy.

We're in 2017 dude. It's probably gto to jam our range 87.2% of the time and bet 13.89% of the pot the rest of the time.

Do you think I'm beating redline now? Only 10k hands just wondering if you think the sample is big enough. Wish there was a **** thread I could post this in.

Yeah I'm running 5 buyins below ev there plus the hands where I get coolered. Kind of a bad stretch of cards tbh.

Anyhow I find it interesting as I'm playing a 35/24 style which usually doesn't win at the higher limits but so far I'm very interested to see if I can beat 25nl or 50nl with it.

Starting 1st of March I'm dropping all sugar from my diet.
I want to live long enough to see the first month that I run 1$ over ev at amayastars.
Do such regs even exist anymore in 2017?

Looks like you might be getting done with old Amaya shuffle.

You are beating it but your blue line is in deep ****. It means that you overbluff and overcall.

I know you're trolling but I wouldn't be surprised to see it being real in the future.
Their IT dept is not working on weekends so maybe they haven't finished it yet.

(almost one after the other vs the same rec player that is playing almost every hand).

I'm not some paranoid guy, I've been playing since forever, been SNE twice, etc.
I'm also not some washed up reg that cannot beat the games anymore(as shown in the previous graph) and is just frustrated and blaming it on smth else.

What I've seen in the past 9 months or so - ok mathematically speaking it can be just variance but it seems that if you are a rec player you have to really try hard to lose your stack.

Sadly I am only half-joking, glad to see it's not something happening to a significant part of the reg population.
That and Stars IT dept not being competent enough to implement it is what makes me feel more optimistic about it.

P.S: I just posted a graph a few days before and already another 2k bellow ev since not counting the setups

ok I'll stop complaining bc I ran another 500 under ev in the hour after my last post(and dealt KK vs AA as a bonus).
Rigthereg dark project detects negative forum posts :-)

im running below ev like 25 bis over a 150k sample or something and many more in bigger samples, obviously people running hot will never post a graph complaining here.
im with your jonirenicus sometimes i think its very posible they can do small adjustements so fishes dont lose their stack too fast but its just speculation and variance its a bitch too.
you just have to have faith its like a religion hahaha , but deep inside i want to run as hot as the sun so i can say ok variance can love me too.
