lol @ these midstakes games for 6m and fr, i want to not be on the computer but this is insanity

[vinivici9586]

best things that could happen to online poker right now
1. legalized/regulated in US
2. return of FTP, funds to players, some confidence
3. body governing both player and site behavior

[NatisFinest]

4. World comes out of Global Recession

[vinivici9586]

there should be a site for massive multitabling nits (stars). a site that caters to nosebleed action and flat rakeback system (ftp). a site that caters to people who dont want to play multitablers or guys with huds (cake?)

like as much as i dislike the nvgtards and IP people that think huds give an insane advantage and that multitablers are just autopiloting, there should be different places for people to play based on what's important to them.

How many hours from now do I have to wait until I can play again?

I would guess 24 hours, but if u email stars saying how much u love their site and that you where just manipulated by the big and evil 2+2 community, im sure they will let you pay them some money at the tables. But try to be creative with your story, probably lots of people already used that one.

[ferdinand bardamu]

i don't see a point to not playing, in the end 6max guys gonna **** us over anyway when negotiation time comes, they just gonna ask for a 6x multiplier across board, be in a little better spot and were still gonna be ****ed.

i'm not banned. i'm just asking how many hours the strike-thing should be going on

edit:
just looked it up in the sitout thread.

The date/time is STILL Jan 1st at 12pm EST and the sitout should continue indefinitely until we see USEFUL changes.

im not talking about regulating what a site or player chooses to do in a free market. im talking about behavioral infractions. there should be a governing body that bans russ hamilton from every casino in the world and bans DIH and girah for a year from any online site, any live tournament, and any poker room. the EPL shouldn't be infiltrated with scumbags. etc.

[vinivici9586]

to a lesser extent, multiaccounters from back in the day like ZJ got off way too easy. theres not enough disincentive against cheating/scamming.

[Slugant]

im gonna play again

[ROM Amnesty]

The reason the tables are much softer than usual right now is because the regs have effectively agreed not to play. It will be interesting to see who can't resist and put their own needs first.

(It's hard to say when it's "OK" for players to start playing again, but I won't be playing again less than only 3 hours after the start!)

[Mayox]

It looks to me like this sit out hasnt happened atal, I gave up as soon as could only sit out on 1 table. I feel that just not playing isnt gonna have any effect and we need to get our views across in other ways
