Hi there,

i am currently living in the czech republic and as some of you might have notice, they passed a new gaming legislation and introduced a pokerstars.cz site.

I have always played MTTs and would like to focus more on them in the next months, however, i realized that due to the new regulations, pokerstars had to cut some of the games from the .cz client. This includes all knockout and bounty sit and goes, as well as tournaments plus spins and hyper heads up.

I have already contacted them and here is what i got back:

"As per our Czech license regulations, there are some events that do not allow registration from the Czech players.

Those events are any tournaments with added money or a guarantee in which player buy-ins comprise less than 50% of the prize pool at the start of the tournament.

Furthermore, we are unable at this time to offer either Spin & Go tournaments, freerolls and some Hyper-Turbo Sit & Go tournaments on the .CZ platform. This restriction also applies to satellite tournaments to live events, as well as most satellite tournaments.

We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause you and thank you for your understanding."

My question is: Is it possible without those games, especially MTTs, satellites, and the knockout and bounty MTT SNGs to grind a reasonable amount per day and build a bankroll with them? All i have left are the regular tournaments and MTT SNGs. (45,180,18, etc.)

I would love to continue playing MTTs and get better in them as i suck in cash games but not sure if it makes sense with these game restrictions, also keeping in mind that stars is currently the only client allowed to operate in the czech republic.

What do you think? Many thanks and best regards.

I had no idea about those restrictions. It appears you'll have to alter your schedule according to whatever traffic there is.

You don't have to play on Pokerstars. You can get with us Americans and play on sites like Ignition. MTTs are very juicy.
