also, it will probably turn the low stakes players who are casual students of the game (like a weekend reg who plays 10 hours a week, but holds a day job and deposits $500/week to play nl100) into breakeven players or winners while those players are in the losing player pool as things stand. from my memory of the weekend games (of which I didnt play regularly ever) there are a lot of semi-regs that dont play at other times and werent winners but werent awful either.
Yeah I get that the idea is to keep losing players on the site longer. The skill matching lets donks play other donks rather than get feasted on by regs.
Not sure why you shifted to that discussion from what we were talking about initially, which was whether there will be fewer winners as a result of skill matching.
You don't seem to get that if the skill matching software works optimally that there will be NO long-term +EV players. Of course there will be "winners" due to variance.
