The traffic on 6 max is okayish many hours but not 24/7 and not great. by removing the option play FR, the SH pool will hopefully improve. More traffic means more new Player longterm. The other Thing is... guys! it is not the Job of Party Poker to provide fully seated table with lots of tasty fish for every Nit the planet has to offer. YOU want to make money playing Poker, so it is YOUR job to make sure you are good enough to beat however sits at your table. Only reason most recreational players play FR is because that is what they are used to play from live poker. But online it is not really much fun for them playing at table with 7 13/11/3 players. So the way i see it that change is actually more good than bad for "fish" so... stop complaining
I was starting may games at mid stakes tables by sitting at empty 6-max and 9-max tables at my limit. And recreational players appeared at 9-max three times faster than 6-max.
My usual session has included 10-14 tables with 5-6 9 max of two limits, mine and higher one.
Today ive played same amount of time at 6-max at my limit with 5-8 tables (somehow getting to the table became harder than before) and made twice less rake.
Of course it's mine problem that with that amount of rake i won't make my week average and lose maximum rakeback. Of course Party won't cry if i decide to move to another site where i can same money as before, but not 1/3 of them.
But the thing is that this happened to me because there were not enough recreational players like it was before. And it is the problem that PP have created.
And, please, don't tell me about the level of play. I can increase it all my life, but when we are playing 2-3 tables with just 2-3 regs keeping the table alive, 3-4 tables with 5 regs and one lightly minus player (who also regulary plays) and 2-3 tables with a fish (that can play tightly thru the whole hour) and the site is still getting its money by taking rake from all of us...
Any smart reg will quit such kind of games and start searching the better ones...
