this in turn will reduce winrates of the regs of their respective pools reducing everybodys overall bottom line apart from the absolute crushers who will salivate over this development
i do agree that people with the right mindset will thrive in that they will have an easier time moving up provided hard work but overall a lot of regs will be forced to quit or switch formats.
which brings me to the last point.
regs who are driven into a corner due to lack of skill or willingness to put effort into improving their game will switch to MTTs as its common knowledge that they are easily beatable, diluting the player pool, worsening the reg:fish ratio even further and in essence also decrease most regs' winrates in that format.
that has nothing to do with negativity its a simple fact. one which we obv can adjust to but one that will simply become reality if those changes actually happen.
which sucks. god bless the fact that there are other sites than stars to play on
hey dude, yhhhh ive been not too productive last few weeks btu i have decided I will just be thinking about how I can best move foward. obv i can change nothing to do with stars and can only control certain things. so that is what i plan on doing.

Keep up the positive attitude, it'll help regardless of what happens here
if it is gg. zero regrets! favourite memories is probably the VIP Berlin party in '14 I went to
that and winning the bigger 11 and big 109!
If it wasn't poker I would have probably attempted to use my economics degree and got some terrible job somewhere.
Poker has helped make me really happy so I will continue to make of it what I can.
anyway looking foward I will try and beat whatever games I can and try and be as flexible as I need to be, despite that not being a strong suit of mine.
Last few weeks have been Meh at best.
Looking foward to xmas and then starting a fresh 2016 already
Still do not know what kind of grind I will be doing tomorrow.
