I mean, really, i know what you're trying to say, but deciding who's right or who's wrong here isn't that cut and dry to me.
Of course every single player wants to continue making as much as possible. I dont think anyone disagrees with that, but it is also true that this is to only create more rake.
If your a slight winner in the games, and can make a living playing alot of volume, and now all of a sudden you become a slight looser bc your stuck playing really good regs and other small winners will you keep playing here?
It seems like a one sided argument here bc fish for the most part dont know what 2p2 is, nor do they care about what Lock does period. Theyre probably not even too concerned about payouts bc they dont expect to win. They play to chase their draws, have fun etc. The fish who are members here again probably dont care about this, bc theyre fish.
Regs are pissed bc anyone with any sort of winrate at 200nl and up is 100% getting grouped into the top teir. Will I still play other regs, sure. But if all of a sudden now all the be regs turn into small loosers ect the games will stop running. Essentially this is to kill higher stakes. Lock knows in time the breakeven rb guys who they put in the top teir will stop playing mid stakes and drop down to where they can again breakeven or be slight winners.
They would love to see everyone playing 50nl and under churning out rake, and only have mid and high stakes action run against the best of the best. It pretty much ensures that the games will either not run or if they do turn into a rake fest, and they wont have to deal with large payouts.
Theyre a business like any other, although poorly run, mismanaged, and shady, like Ive said before they are right that this will create more money in their pockets.
To say its just a bunch of regs crying about their bottom line being hurt isnt true. Yes its certainly a part of it, and no ones happy about it, but theyre also trying to take away mid and high stakes games all together.
Well see when the update comes out and its implemented but I can guarentee that this is the vision they have for this. Its not like Party where the player pool is big enough that it doesnt kill games ect. 200nl and up are reg games now, with some fish who swim through nightly. Once the fish arent there at all, the breakeven regs are going to turn into small loosers and probably drop down, essentially killing all action. Would you want to now sit at a table with 5 guys you have no edge on and push money around?
EDIT: Just read your last post, at least were on the same page that its all about them making more money
