Trying to get 8 tables running at other sites takes about an hour of being on waitinglist etc, Stars and Party are perfect when you have limited time to play (was going out in a 1h)

What are your thoughts of their change to include antes in the games? Have you noticed much difference in the way the game plays?

it's ridiculous and only profits Stars (obv).
At plo10 the ante is 10% of the BB but at plo2 it's the same size as the SB, hello rake death.

With the ante everybody should loosen up preflop, so in theory, the games will be more fun and people will make more mistakes as even the regs will be out of their depth.

Hey man, I m doing kind of the same challenge but I ve decided to just skip the micros and jump right into plo25. Its a nice inspiration and hopefully I will catch up and battle it out with you
As for the antes, it is terrible. Not only it will be harder for people to make it through, it will completely drain the recreationals out of their money.
Stupid disgrace.
Once I will be able to play elsewhere, I ll be happy to drop Pokerstars...

Pokerstar is earning rake as fuuuck, before a potraise was 3.5bb, with the new ante and **** it's 6-7bb wich will increase the size of the pot on future streets by a tone.

            I'm still amazed how terrible people are at micros in 2020, i'm playing 8 tables of zoom and making a tone of mistake ( just look at my redline), but still maintaining a 3 digit winrate. One of the biggest mistake i see at micros beside just playing total garbage OOP/preflop is trying to rep hands they can't have.

              Like this one, once he checks back he never has any kind of boat or trips so when he bets turn his range is so massivly capped towards overpair w clubs or just naked clubs, so raisy daisy and bomb any none club river and profit like crazy, i don't know how many of these situations i see every session i play.

              GLAD MIDSOMMAR to all my fellow Swedes.
