tbh this change only impacts people who were mass multitabling exclusively on stars

prob going to be a blessing in disguise for some people

$10,852.99 in rake so far this month for me, in the z500 games. jesus christ haha

This is 20yrs overdue.

If I could only get a refund on the infinitesimal amount of my life that has been wasted 30 secs at a time by inconsiderate, slow POS multi tabling imbeciles.

I lost count somewhere in the millions of times that an inconsiderate, slow POS multi tabling imbcile chased away obvious ATMS by being an inconsiderate, slow POS multi tabling imbecile.

Just like the colluders will always find a way, the inconsiderate, slow POS multi tabling imbecile will most likely still find a way.

This has been one of my "craziest" theories for the past few years, I don't think I could ever have it make sense to the majority

I do think things changed in some large way recently.

This is fantastic for a lot of olds (30+) who have a hard time playing 12+ tables. There's almost no way this won't increase the winrate ceiling.

Multitabler != slow POS

You can play multiple tables and still be annoyed by imbeciles timing down because they are playing more tables than they should/can handle.

Good post though.

I for one am curious to know how many beginners have been pushed away from online poker because of thoses 24 tabling nitregs prefering to play at the lowest stakes (thanks to their HUD taking notes and stats for them, revealing the obvious leaks found in noobs game) rather than 1-4 tabling against players at their level, paying attention and trying to improve their game to climb up the stakes. While I agree that Stars has become greedy and abuses it's quasi-monopoly, I wouldn't be too surprised to find out that these type of players have had the biggest negative effect on the poker ecosystem.

Winrate might be higher but it's the hourly that really matters.

my guess is King10clubs is over 30. he's the last person to really be able to multitable highstakes on stars. He seem like the person who only get's faster as he get's older, like he has limitless potential and isn't hindered by biological constraints, he simply incrementally improve's until he's 100 tabling high stakes when he's 1000 years old after scientists figured out how to extend his life.

how could they hide this in books and why would huge companies like GVC play along with this scam (which would violate trading regulations)?

and anyone surprised by PS' recent actions didn't follow the industry changes over the last years. as soon as the deposits dried up, smaller rooms went for the "recreational players model" to get rid of regs. then the 2nd tier rooms followed and then the big ones.

the only one (i can think of), that recently tried to undo the rec model was pp (well at least until rob found out, what HUDs are). and due to the limitation of deposits, the overall impact for regs is/was limited.

deposits are getting smaller, and the costs are getting higher on a global scale. not sure why people are in disbelief, that there are less crumbs are left for regs.

So much salt, let's just wait for the Douggie YT Video.

Basically guys it's like this:
Poker in the format of No Limit Holdem has been long gone. Many OG's tried to save it.. but it's GG now. Accept that guys and move on. There are greener pastures such as PLO and that silly 2 card game where 9Ts cracks aces pre.
MTT's also have infinite stacks sizes so GL with that b0t33rs, us OG's are still making $ while the sun is out.
See you guys at the tables

No.

so sad when you gave it all to this game, you time, your health, missed some life opportunities, missed education opportunities and you feeling like you been buried alive, because its just matter of time (small time at this point) when poker rooms will make poker impossible as income source.

omg this brings tears to my eyes
I didn't get laid in college cause of poker, thought it'd be worth it later down the line

Dude it was half a troll... But dont be surprised if one day all the sites raise the rake at the same time like they did with heads up almost simultaneously.....

Play on 2 or more sites to get 6-8 tables going. No need to switch to MTTs.

Only cash-based decisions.

Joey, don't leave us hanging like that. get on youtube now. would love to hear you speak on this topic.

They also added this feature which i'm against where they log you off if you're logged in and haven't moved your mouse for more than 20/30 min. silly decisions

someone update the title pls.

they recently moved from Isle of Man licensing system to Malta and as per MGA, they are required to implement this feature.

yes please!

Thread title updated.

Am i missing something?...not one full table on party at 17.33 on a Saturday at plo25 and plo50...need 5 sites to play 6 tables?

In hindsight, we could have communicated to players more often that significant changes were coming in 2019. We could have been more explicit that these changes would be significant and would take effect in 2019. And we could have noted this on our web pages that gave details of the table changes. There was no intention to deceive and certainly not to profit from this, as an increase in the number of pro players, who are on average net withdrawing players, does not provide a financial benefit to us. It was simply a function of a long internal process and an honest belief that we had given players sufficient notice.
