I agree. Lots of gov't workers are worthless and provide no value.but they got the gov't to pay them to do nothing but spin around their chairs and watch youtube.if the gov't would pay us to play poker all day it would be a lot more profitable.
i could be the best bubble gum chewer in the world but it doesnt mean anything if nobody will pay me to do it,or lose money to me in a bubble gum chewing contest. being a great hu player means nothing in a vacuum (obviously it helps with other forms of poker) if nobody will play you or no casino/online site will spread the game.
If fish want HU so bad how come SNE players who clog the lobbies all day waiting to play have said they have 1-3k hands in a year HU vs fish?
Stars knows the exact amount of hands fish play hu, know their exact loss rates in those games, and know that for the most part the amount of hands is negligible, they would play other games if HU wasn't available and their awful play would generate a lot more rake at 6max than HU.
Regs for the most part aren't playing HU for fun or for the thrill of ****ing victory.While they might overestimate their edge (or not have one) they're playing HU as a business decision and there is nothing wrong with that.They aren't doing what's best for stars. And they should expect stars to operate by making business decisions in star's best interest as well.
