I think this is the way forward. One way to get the recreationals more willing to play in tougher line ups ciyld be that each pro would have a bounty on their head and if the recreational is able to bluff them, they win extra money. This could also create an interesting dynamic to the game because the rec is encouraged to bluff more.

I’m sure there would be many other ways too, I think alot of these live streams lack creativity on how to make the recs feel more like they are somethibg else than just food for the predators.
It's not only about the recreational vs rec ratio. It's about having recreationals that are trying to win. I think its overlooked but I feel like sometimes viewers doesnt understand the skill level of recs. Some of the asian guys are pretty good in the triton games i.e Paul Phua. Another example Neymar is also pretty good. There used to be this japanese legendary trader cis_san6889 or smth on stars that could actually legit opensit $25/50 during certain hours. Not saying this to be hating, but some of the american recs (the lodge included) seem like the recs borderline knows the rules and it's just awkward to watch. Bill perkins is another rec that clearly is pretty good and understand poker on a pretty high level.

Cash out always makes the same amount of sense. You get paid your equity. Guessing he'd rather take 97% than lose 100

could potentially make sense if he has trouble getting money on the site and the rec is a really special player

Being able to get in the games is also a big skill but there are more live streams popping up everyday and more to come.
If they start posting hhs from hustler daily in this thread ill stop viewing, IMO most people come here to see hands from the best in the world.
If you want to see hhs from a high stakes private stream game with a bunch of whales there are plenty of other threads for that.

Is this certain? People can still buy new subscriptions to GG on SH & SN and i cant find a public statement by GG that they arent tracked anymore

the tracking never was close to 100% and i know they arent on sharkscope anymore but with recent news of GG superusers at their cash games no public tracking would be another win for the cheaters
