I guess the new regime at Stars doesn't like the fact that at the moment,for example, at all blind levels there are:
350 tables that have a single player waiting, 25 active tables, and 3 zoom tables with a total of 25 active players.
If the current state is indeed as you describe it, with each blind-level having approx:
i) 25 active HU games running, and
ii) 3 Zoom tables with a ~25 person pool
Well...that sounds pretty anemic, no? Like, from Stars' perspective, they just have to hope that enough of the action from those 25 active tables finds its way over to the new zoom-only format, right?
I absolutely understand why HU regs are upset that they'll no longer get the chance to play an extended session vs. a fish, and from a fairness / poker-philosophy perspective that seems "inequitable", but from a strictly bottom-line-for-Pokerstars perspective, it seems like a relatively low-risk proposition. It's not like there's a thriving HU ecology that they're jeopardizing...
^^^The above is written from the perspective of a relative HU-noob, so happy to be told that I'm missing something.
