NEW: Strike/Boycott of PokerStars (xpost from Internet Poker) - Page 7 - Poker News

He did, but since he didn't seem to be offering anything of substance and appeared to be unaware that there have been multiple boycott threads before, I merged it here.

Were Ansky + others who attended the meeting at the beginning of the year informed about the rake increase or not?

sandr1x, you were/are in the front line in the battle. What is your opinion about this? What do you envisage to do next?
I'd appreciate your reply.

why should they?
Do you expect PS to call ansky or others and ask for opinion or approval?

the fact they did not say anything about is that maybe they were not informed nor given the possibility to disclose this info...
I am not expecting PS to have said that, but Ansky + boys have seen forecasts and data projected to mid-long term....

I'm sure the banks were given forecasts as well...

What someone says and the way it pans out aren't always the same.

The only thing left to do is to leave the site, I guess.

No, we were not. Something like a rake increase would not be covered under the NDA anyway.

A strike may be more effective in future if they come up with a better T-shirt for it. The last one looked like an advertisement for Stars.

another strike thread... dumb.

trying to boycott stars... dumb.

Poker is by its very definition a zero sum game. players are just as greedy and self serving as the sites.

If players can make required return on a site they will play on it. if they cant they will play somewhere else or quit poker.
