              Just out of curiosity when you say someone is a "rec" in a 5/10 hand on Stars, what is the actual definition of them being "recs" in those games?

              Like, legitimate losing players are hopping in Stars 5/10 still these days? Or is that just you describing a reg you think isnt a winning 1knl player?

              rec is someone who plays for fun and not for a living.

              Yep, there are plenty of actual recreational players jumping into 5/10. Just the same as legitimate people are jumping into roulette and blackjack every single day with the knowledge they will invariably lose money.

              80% of my volume is zoom, well at least it is this month and my routine hasn't changed from previous months.

              Winrate is significantly higher at regular tables yes, but when you factor in hands per hour, zoom has a far bigger hourly

              Well i've waited nearly 5 months for this, but i did not expect to have a day this huge lol. A good 2k clear of my best ever cash game day. Volume wasn't bad either
