I remember 3-tabling PLO500 with literally the same players at each table and that's when I realized I was not having fun. I lost more than I won but still left the site with a fair amount of money because I was bored. Haven't played online in almost 2 months, prefer to play locally in Tampa as well as destinations (just got back from 6 day stint staying at Bellagio). Would a player pool 2-3 times win me back? Perhaps but until then, I'm all about playing live.
Good post - hard to fault you for taking your business elsewhere. More proof that recs *do* pay attention to things like player pool and other issues such as players sitting out as soon as they get up or bust, etc.
Aside from that, Global is not really doing anything for cash game recs otherwise such as bonuses, jackpots, rakeback. Not sure what the draw is supposed to be other than easy deposits and cash outs. I think we'll see more and more people follow suit and head back to live now that vaccinations are in full gear across the country.
