Pokerstars have still not introduced the kind of superturbos sng/mtt that Fulltilt have and they are missing out of bigtime action. Alot of players, specially a bit more casual players, dont have alot of time for mttīs with sick runtimes and i think those superturbos on FT is a great way to still be able to play tourneys.
Its not only that, I think stars are falling behind in alot of areas, FT have rushpoker, superturbos, better cashgameoptions and so on. At the same time it feels like time is standing still at stars. One department they still crush FT on is support and rewards/vipshop. Any thoughts?

My thoughts are that PS has a better understanding of what is good/bad/neutral for the poker community than any singular player that is frustrated that a specific game is/is not available.

Stars leading in the category that is far more important than all those you listed.

Getting the players their money.

Your crappy ideas belong on the site that loves them: Full Tilt.

I should mayby add that I am one of the more casual players online nowadays and my bread and butter is live cashgames. But it should concern the robotgrinders on stars that FT are rapidly becomming more interesting to the casual fishy players like me. Its simply alot more fun logging onto FT than stars if you want some quick action.
Somebody also mentioned withdrawalissues, I guess thats a US-problem here in euroland i think it works fine.

It would also be interesting to hear more from casual onlineplayers like myself what they think about these additions that FT has made the last year or so. Someone mentioned, and I have heard it mentioned before concerning rush/superturbos/shallowstacktables etc, that its no good for the pokercommunity but I dont think that will make a difference. My impression is that most of the hardcore grinders prefer stars mainly because of more generous viprewards but if you want good games on stars i think you should urge them to keep up better than they are right now. Without the steady cashflow from fish it could dry out pretty fast i think. The games are gonna change and right now FT is taking the drivingseat.

Dear Full Tilt Poker,

It has recently come to our attention that your site is associated with a rogue account that is running up recurring monthly deductions from player bank accounts.

I cannot unfortunately disclose the player names, not so much because of privacy, but rather because you have all the information in front of you and no helpsies.

As a result your rake privileges on my account have been suspended. Here are the steps I require you take.

-Please explain your relationship with the accounts PMI 8888758035, PMI Sale, and Western Clear DES.
-Feel free to post any documentation you feel clarifies your relationship in any thread that appears to address the issue. Please do so in a timely manner.
-Any direct and legible answer will be considered. So probably don't run it past your support first.

At such time when the relationship has been sufficiently cleared up and it is obvious you take the matter seriously your rake privileges will be reinstated.

Thank you for continuing to choose the online poker community as your primary source of income.

Apefish,
NVG support

OP has identified all the reasons why Stars traffic has plummeted whilst Full Tilt player numbers have shot through the roof.

Except this hasn't happened. That's because Stars is still the best site and Full Tilt's gimmicks suck.
