We're discussing NL10.
The aim is to set the cap at 8 tables. We don't want to be too low because then people will simply play 2 sites, which won't improve the ecology. We don't want to be too high because it won't make people looser. 8 seems a sensible compromise to me.
Table cap of 6 or 8 sounds good to me. I'd guess that one reason why March might have been nittier than usual was the Prize Drop promo. I'm sure there were some people opening as many tables as possible, hoping to bink a prize. I know that PokerStars suffers from the 'mass-tabling nitbox problem' especially badly when they run their Milestone promos, and that used to be quite annoying. One of the great things about Unibet is that players don't have to wait 40 seconds for someone to fold pre.
It's great that you're monitoring the situation closely and have the luxury of being able to change things quickly (and change them back just as quickly if there are unintended consequences). Bigger sites suffer more from inertia, so your hands-on approach - and willingness to admit when mistakes have been made - is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the additional UO Slots spins btw.
