The cap is likely set to keep traditional mass grinding winning players to play at a higher stakes as they won't be able to earn the same while having only 6 games running even at the higher winrate per hand. This softens their former stake up and losing players will have a smaller loss rate which creates more profit to Stars.
Certain players can ask for more tables? Is this based on time to act or rather that players win/loss rate?

Zoom tables don't have the same restrictions as rec players play tighter then on regular tables and have a lower loss rate.

Juk

is this on .com or is it the european stars? people seem to be able to play more than 6 tables on stars.com still

ban scripts... that's even better

From our Ring Games Manager:

Poker online is like Formula 1 . Many people lost interest in the past years, the industry is in the decline, but still very popular with many people making lots of money.

Seems OP is lyeing or idk what poker online support he is sending emails lol.


Email I received from PokerStars.

Hello Alexei,

Thanks for contacting us.

To answer your question we can confirm that manual change of the tables' number is not possible. The limits are the same for all of our players, as following:

In order to provide a better playing experience for players, we have implemented individual cash game table limits.

Previously, there was a hard limit of 24 cash game tables that any player can simultaneously play. Now, this limit will be set individually for each player, by us, using an automated system.

At the beginning of each month, we will calculate how quickly you have acted on each hand, on average, during the previous month. If your time to take each action has been too slow, your table limit will be lowered. If your actions were quick and you have played a high number of tables at a time, your table cap will be raised.

The average player will not notice any changes. Their maximum limit will remain at 24 tables.

If changes have been made to the number of tables you can play, an email notification will be sent to your registered email address.

At this time, Multi-Table and Sit & Go Tournaments will not be affected.

These changes have been made based on extensive player feedback and we hope that we can continue to provide the best playing experience for our players.

Regarding your other question about the Zoom tables' limit we can inform you that rules remain the same:

A player can join up to 4 times in the same Zoom game (except for Heads Up Zoom games, where the maximum number of entries per Zoom pool is 2), so it will count as 12 Real Money tables.

This means that a player can enter up to 8 Zoom games before you meet the 24 maximum number of Cash Game tables allowed.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,

♠ Helena ♠

Wff im not lying i can show proof of the email i got , situation is pretty weird atm , probably just a big confusion created by ps support

So funny that stars is protecting the recs and other nonsense when they still allow players to use the most effective predatory tool out there. Or they just want to move all the action to zoom who knows.

Who cares. Just play 6 tables on Stars if you want and another 6 tables on another site where you actually get Rakeback

makes sense
just makes a dangerous tool to limit winners instead of timing

Like ggnetwork

i email them again asking to increase my maximum amount of cash tables that i can play and this is their reply , weird can anybody here confirm they are capped to 6 tables ?


Hello XXX,

Thank you for contacting us.

We regret to have to inform you that we can not increase the maximum amount of Cash tables to 8 for you.

The Poker Management has decided that, as of 17.10.2018, the maximum amount of tables allowed for every player is 6. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Should you have any further questions, please let us know.

For now, we wish you the best of luck at the tables and a lovely afternoon!

Regards,


Stars Support

where are you from

Peru , i play at .com

He is from trolland .

just look at lobby, plenty of players playing a lot more than 6 tables.

This thread should be closed .

i can play 10+ tables again

What is it you don't understand? OP is not lying, Pokerstars Support gave him the wrong information by mistake. A Pokerstars rep has already posted in this thread explaining what went wrong, and why people can still play more than 6 tables. See post #30 in this thread.

+1

24 to 6. Why does everything have to be so drastic. Baby steps.

rakeback went from 40% to 3%, amaya doesnt do baby steps

This is a good decision imo

no-one bothered to read post #30 then ?

Jesus wept.

If you have better ratio rec/reg that is better for the games. If you cannot clone yourself 24 times that will make that ration better because recs don't clone themselves that much.

Even for zoom, I would limit to 2 entries. Regs play fewer hands so they fold more and they play more hands. Also, they play with 4 entries while recs play with 1-2 which makes rec/reg much worse than in real life.

If it is harder for you to make your hourly with a reduced number of tables then you would move up which means that it would also make it better for the game.

They need to introduce seat me as well.

On every table there is a waitlist of 6 players. You cant get seated down at a table

several years too late i'm afraid but at least it's a start

next step: buyins up to 300BB
