True... but how would he maintain SNE by playing these stakes?

You could 112 table NL2 6-max 3000 hour's per year?

Wow thats alot tbh. Can i ask what u make on bonus/ffp/vpp, or easier what is your rakeback %.

I am playing on cake and i am prolly gonna make the switch to stars. Trying to figure out how much rakeback i will be earning,pretty hard though lol.

I am aiming for like 200k VPP

Any CAP players notice a decrease in their hands/VPPs per hour since Stars took away the ability to join an empty table? Ever since Pokerstars took away the ability to start tables at 5/10 and 10/20 CAP I've noticed my hands per hour has dropped drastically, and hope Stars comes to their senses and allow people to start games at these stakes again.

200k, get in the supernova thread.

www.fpppro.com for your %ages. it's not hard.

Yea it's a lot hah but hopefully worth it at the end, well i'm going for SNE so hopefully $105k in rakeback, then whatever i make at the tables on top. Rakeback % for me is about 58% i think, for you getting 200k vpp it's about 35-40% i think. And yea what daddy said, fpppro is the place to go.

dropped? cap nl1k+ is complete dead since changes, great job stars

yep 5/10 cap stone dead since changes, needs to be chnaged back asap.

did they implement table starter as the only way to start tables there?

Considering regular fullring tables are running even at 600nl while zoom fullring is not even running for 100nl I thought Stars understood that making stuff all zoom or all table starters or all anything similar to that would just not work!

There were other subjects that players debated back and forth on but this possible change has been criticised by just about everyone.

Yes, tablestarter only at 5/10 plus. Totally killed all action especially at the quiet times. Bad move by stars as 5/10 cap was really picking up in the weeks prior to this.

I've noticed a dip in 5/10 CAP too especially at off peak times. I like table starter as a complement to starting tables the old fashion way. It can make it simple for new players to join tables, but why not just have both options? Are the non CAP NLHE tables at this limit functioning the same way?

Tomorrow we plan to have a server restart at 07:00 ET (12:00 UK time). We expect that the process will take about 45 minutes but it may take longer (or be postponed). Any changes will be posted to our @PokerStarsVIP twitter account where possible.

If you would like to receive emails about future, scheduled server restarts, please email vipclub@pokerstars.com asking to be added to our server restart email list. When possible, these emails are sent the evening before a restart.

well this was just a trial to see how it works for limits that didn't get that much action before.
Now that they see they get even less action the logical thing will be to switch it back in a few days.

Does anybody play PLO8 or Fixed 08 for SNE. Interested in hands/etc

Thats what they told me as well, only problem is 5/10 had been getting decent action last few weeks, now it gets none.

Also i was under the impression that 5/10 cap gets more action than the 5/10 100bb games so seems a bit strange.

I hope common sense prevails and these changes are reversed.

Not an SNE but I still play decent volume. I agree table starter sucks for mid/hi CAP. I mean c'mon, we can't start playing 2-3-4 handed now even if rec player is willing to ? It just directly kills action. Maybe it could work for some high traffic games but it kills games with smaller player pools. 10/20CAP is going to die soon if it proceeds.

+1 to removing the CAP table starter thing. Games at 5-10 were more regular before the change. Please PS, listen to the players!

SilentP and Kuhns and iirc Exit4 as well.

I'm sure either Steve or Caleb will enlighten us with this information

Definitely!
After January I thought I can make 2mio VPP with playing CAP 5/10+ only but now with this traffic I can be happy with getting to 1.25mio VPP

maybe the server update tomorrow will take care of it?

yep! support +1

Nick is monitoring the current implementation of Table Starters. Any changes in volume will be taken into consideration as we decide where and how we will deploy Table Starters in the future.
