Haha some of you just don't want to accept reality. They ARE hoping it will have a drastic effect for breakeven and marginal winning regs. They have spawned in such numbers, equipped with all these extra aids like HUDs, Sharkies, Piosolvers etc. etc. destroying the ecosistem. In order for recreationals to be able to "breathe" , last longer and have fun overall number of regs, max number of tables and the list of allowed poker tools needs to be cut down radically.
This fallacy that fish will lose faster keeps repeating itself in topics like this one. Imagine a player pool consisting of 2 top regs, 15 bad/breakeven regs and 20 fish. Now if for whatever reason all 15 bad/breakeven regs leave the site do you really think 2 top regs will manage to take more money from 20 fish then 2 top regs+15 bad/breakeven regs? Can they sit 0/24 24/7 and "eat"? Have you ever seen a phenomena on big sites like stars where a lobby for a popular game is empty (for example 30$ or 60$ HUNL SNG in the middle of night CET) and fish take the first seat on the table? This happens not so rarely, trust me.
Then, some fish will turn into winners but these winners will be vastly different. A player from Denmark for example will start to marginally beat 15$ SNGs but since it's peanuts money for him he will put that money into further games, sports betting or casino, in comparison to a Belarus hobo nit who can be in the top 20% of earners in his 3rd world dictatorship country just with the rakeback being breakeven at 15$ HU SNGs, taking all that money out of the economy.
Anyway, looking forward to an Unibet like lobby on every big site in the near future, and guys like you can write "advanced konowledge of Holdem Manager 4" in your Europass CV under Skill column.
