From PokerStars Announces Changes to NL and PL Hold’em and Omaha games effective March 1st:
... Pardon me while I kiss the sky

Ding Dong The Witch is Dead


I woke up this morning to a beautiful sight - no more "NLHE" 50bb max tables anywhere

i'm going to rathole you guys just because it pisses you off. gotta be +++EV.

You make completelt false analogies. SSing is just a different strategy to beat a previous strategy. Like the Cleveland Browns passing attack in the late 1940's that devastated the NFL. Like the way Buddy Ryan's 46-defense revolutionized defense. Now pro football looks very different from even the 80s or 90s. Get a grip on yourself.

Not for you though, DUCY?

wonder how the hands dealt and rake have been since changes scaled to the overall growth of the site at effected stakes

fyp

Oh hai, you people still reading this? It's been just shy of 3 months and NLHE is beating CAP by more than 3 to 1. The games are rocking. Money is flying. Talented players are making money, Stars is making rake, and EVERYONE is having a premiere poker playing experience at the tables whether they are winning or losing. And, regulated online poker in the United States looks like it's in our future. Celebrate good times, INDEED.

As of April 2, 2011 @ ~4:00 PM EST on a SATURDAY:

165 tables @ $50NL 100bb MAX
11 tables @ $50NL 250bb MAX
56 tables @ $50 20bb CAP

Hopefully we can boot CAP to its own tab and we'll all be @ poker peace will ourselves

I take it you've never played awp_map

oh, very much for me. you just can't beat me as i pay my mortgage ratholing you over and over.

Bump.

Still celebrating the good times Phatty?

hahaha, guess not )

Lol. Nice 2nd post.

maybe some bigwig at the DOJ was a shortstacker, and this is their revenge

LDO

oh hai der phatty!

lost for words budday? hows the 'premier poker experience' at merge and bodog? totally awesome i bet.

you still campaigning for CAP to have its own tab?

still masturbating over the changes fella?

PokerStars structure is still awesome. Nothing has changed as far as that goes.

Shame you wont be part of premier poker experience there.

Tip for you - get used to the phrase 'would you like fries with that?'

FFS. I probably argued against Phatty about this topic more than anyone else on 2+2, and interacting with the guy sets my teeth on edge.

But still, does this argument really need a bump? This is just pure rage trolling. What happened last Friday sucks for everyone. Bumping this thread to take a final shot at one poster is the epiotme of being childish.

I disagree with the changes stars made, but they were made months ago. It's done. The argument is over, and it's totally unrelated to the US lockout issue. I don't want anyone locked out from online poker.

Disagreeing with someone is one thing, part of normal discourse. Mocking their misfortune is just cruel and immature.

How would you know if I am or will be playing at PokerStars? But, I get it. You're apparently a ratholer whose feathers were ruffled and instead of using your regular account, created a new account to try to declare some type of "victory" now that Stars doesn't serve US customers. Everyone who enjoys poker "loses" regarding that development. And, don't worry about me. I'll continue to make money at poker at other sites, casinos, and home games like I always do. I adapt. And, just like the 50bb max fiasco, which DID pass, so too will this latest travesty. Online poker will be regulated in the US at some point and I, and others, will be making more money than we ever have.

Furthermore, I play poker as a fun way to make several thousand dollars. I certainly don't need it, as I've stated before:

Add super turbo SnGs, and HU supers with 25bb structure just like FTP has, please Stars.
