Yeah, I skipped MC this year for that reason but if you're a tournament poker pro it's not practical to ply your trade without paying rake to PS as they have a near-monopoly position online and control some of the most important live events, esp MC and PCA.

Protests against a dominant and oppressive power often involve breaking their rules in some way.

there is actually a deeper problem, one that was mentioned many times on these forums - the fact that players are required to do all the promotional stuff for the organizers of tournaments, not only for free, but after actually paying rake. If you want players to work for you for free, at least pay their rake ffs.

This thinking implies that Stars get a return on investment for putting out pictures of the winners of their events, which they don't. A picture of Bonomo winning a side event at the EPT will earn them diddly squat.

advertisement never gets any ROI, that's why all the corporations are doing it. tax purposes, you know. beside of that they do it, so they can pay some crazy marketing people.

Or you can organize a million dollar MTT at the local bridge club.

To the guys he multi-accounted against, the answer is obvious.

Sorry but thats not worse than the 50k pilfer. People multi account ALL THE TIME. He was just unfortunate enough to get caught. Plus this was in MTTs, not single table cash games or sit n go's. Not a single one of his "victims" lost anywhere close to 50k worth of equity.

This thread is mind boggling. Is it a generational thing? Is conformity and not rocking the boat the new rebellion of youth?

So much wrong in this thread, but among other things, someone referred to Amaya as the "sponsor" of the event -- would you call Subway the sponsor of those little stores where you can go in and buy a (Subway) sandwich? Where enthusiasts can go to participate in sandwich eating events? And if you decide to enter, don't complain if there is something wrong with your order, because you knew the risk going in, and should have just skipped that event if you don't like it.

Personally, I think it's mysterious that a even a scummy company like Amaya would want to use a known cheater in their publicity photographs.

Couldn't they just use one of the old 2+2 multiaccounting photoshops?

Did Stars adversely change the Super Nova benefits for those in the middle of trying to qualify?

I have not kept up with online poker.

Don't be absurd. They didn't change it in the middle... they waited all the way until it was about to end.
