I thought stars job was to create fair games that their players, especially losing players that deposit (we all starve without those players) want to play in. You seem to think stars job is to create the exact conditions you want.
Honestly I get so tired of everyone that thinks everyone should be forced to play exactly as they want them to play. That isn't what being a professional poker player is about. The fish play what they want to play. They always have, and they always will. Us pro's dont determain that. Our job is to exploit the fish whereever they show up.
I'm hoping the 40-100bb games will get softer (or at least stay the same as the 50-100bb games have been, which is pretty good lately) but if all the bad players decide to play 20-50bb I'll figure that out. Things change in poker, and pros change with it depending on what the fish do. I don't sit around biching because nobody plays 7 card stud anymore, or limit, or standerd speed sng's. If for some weird reason all the fish decide a stupid 20bb game is the most fun then I wont bitch then either, as long as the fish keep showing up I'll figure out some way to feed the kids.
Just keep the fish happy and depositing. I don't really care if any fullstacking or shortstaking pros are happy, as long as the fish are.
anyway, I'm fine with all the changes and the reasoning.
SteveD- I told you going in the bitching would never stop no matter what was done. I wish I was wrong, or at least less right. This is sadder than what even I imagined.
