gonna combo break to say I think stars is an awesome company and the doubling Philippine donations thing was class.

love you Stars x

stars is rigged lol

Well lets be honest. Rake at PLO is definetely beatable and there is no reason to increase it. I've never had problems with it.

was that even a consideration?

Oh sorry, I typed what I had on my mind

It's funny how people are always ok to rake more the games they dont play or to tax other people's money but have a very different opinion whenever it touches them directly.

it's funny how people can still take ninja seriously

I look forward to seeing Poker Stars Steve quote this and refer to Stars taking into consideration what the players think and want

is there any data out there showing how high is rake in terms of bb/100 at 2/4-25/50?

hey guys, i thought i'd let you in on some news. apparently stars is complying with the ridiculous greek legislation. greek players are moved from .eu to .gr and from now on for every winning session will have to pay 15% for winnings between 100eu and 500eu and 20% for more than that. losing sessions are obv not taken into consideration and "session" basically refers to day. taxes will NOT be applied on vip rewards

gg SNE for me after 11 months of grind and with like 30% of the rewards left for 1 month's grind. so long, guys.. it's been fun. i hope i managed to give u some hard times and u enjoyed playing vs me too.

Thats disgusting

absolutely awful. You have some details on how they (gov) define `session`?

1 day

greek market is isolated now, right?
by far the fishiest country

all the best donkeys are greek nowadays siiiighhhhh

plz don't let them take the swiss next, they are all we have left

obv just move for a month to finish out sne. You're in greece, you are surrounded by like 50 other countries you can travel to in a few hours

Last time i've seen a greek reg player at 200nl is quite a long time ago actually, also apparently no seperation from the player pool so I'm wondering if the normal lolrec player will even care about some random tax they implemented on winnings.

If poker ever becomes illegal in China this will be the real death, unless USA comes back ofc.

greece is trying hard to become the most ******ed country in the world

Sorry for you man. That's horrible

+1 on the holiday to finish sne

the market is not isolated, greek players will still play in the global pool and yeah, most likely fish won't care that much about the taxes. although, im pretty sure most fishes that u guys think of are "regulars"

there are some issues that keep me from moving to finish sne but either if i finish it or not, i won't enjoy the 5x multiplier if i wanna keep staying in greece...

do you really need another reason to leave greece?

The way Greece is run would you actually have to pay the taxes?

Isn't any gambling other than the state lottery illegal in China?

No clue but I see alot of terrible chinese players on stars, also saw multiple greek rec players today. There is no such thing as bad publicity...

Will not change much regarding fishies in greece bc they dont see teh big picture. They won 500 and pay 15% and think its still a decent score. For regs is obv game over but not to hard to move to other eu country.

Moving out for 1month is a no brainer unless 20k for 1mirrion milestone is meaningless amount of money for u which I doubt...

I think those news about greece are great! That will not impact recreational players, however stupid regs will not be able to do much about that. So they will go to work in McDonalds and finally contribute to society. Everybody wins, i would say. Including me!
