Yeah agreed, what's going on. It's like every site now is scrambling to introduce short tables to everyone. Poker 2011 gonna be fun.
Man I've been sucking / running bad lately. Merry Xmas 5/10 regs who I stacked off to, repeatedly.
the whole stack-depth issue isn't actually a case of ignorance and short-sightedness like most of the other 'mistakes' made by both players and sites/networks - it's more intricate.
I have a really strong mind on what iPoker needs to do in order to both please the majority of it's customers and maximise it's long-term profits. Some of these things are not things I necessarily want for myself but things that I objectively feel are best.
- remove waiting lists
- have 2 blind structures only per limit, 20-50bb and 50-100bb for example
- have hard-coded enforcement of 1-on-1 table waiting policies
- fix the top up currency conversion theft/fraud AND pay-out refunds for this to people who request it (in order to be realistic)
- fix the rake so that ŁGBP/€EUR tables aren't paying hugely more than $USD tables, at least make some compromise here (Ł2.50GBP cap and €2.75EUR cap?) because I realise it's difficult to have these things 'fixed' 'fairly' due to the nature of currency.
- be far more active in weeding out people who regularly break T&Cs - 3 strikes and you're life-time banned for example (for chat violations this could be a ban for 3-months on first offence and permanent ban on second offence).
