Can you expand on exactly what you mean by this?

I assume it's just Brexit being #1 way to destroy the economy and make a bunch of consumer goods really expensive as well.

Yeah pretty much what TDA said, have extreme fears for post June 23rd.

I've been stock piling USD and EUR for a while now to try to offset the fact most of my net worth was in GBP.
I assume that whilst I'm not going to be able to speculate profitably, diversifying to reduce variance seems sensible, but was interested on opinions.

500z has stopped running for 2-5 hours or the day now pretty often. With extra rake increases coming and Stars trying to shift all their players to casino and spins, I doubt it will run more than 12-16h/day next year but I'm a pessimist.

Which incoming rake increase are we talking about?

A lot of bad regs quit because of SNE and the games have gotten much better.
Another rake increase will just kick out more regs, so the reg/fish ratio is higher. Though the average reg will obviously be better.
Overall, you win roughly the same, maybe a little bit less. Assuming you can still compete with the pool.

The games have not gotten much better, they have gotten worse imo. Note I only play at like 4am-11pm europe time or something but at those times they have definitely not gotten better.

Also, if what you say is true, then only ZOOM benefits from regs quitting. At regular tables having bad regs quit is bad for you, since there is only ever 1 fish per table.
If Stars increases the rake by 10% tomorrow, I doubt enough regs will quit so that it balances the offset of extra rake.

In any case, there's definitely less games running.

"Poker Automatics" is the name of the outfit - they are at pokeram.com. The bots don't exist - it's just a standard Ponzi scheme that has been making money [for the scammers] for a few years now: http://www.flushdraw.net/news/misc/p...er-ponzi-scam/

The game has got better in 2016, and it's even better this summer. z100 is very soft anytime of the day and z200 is also soft depending on the hours u play.

When 30-35% of entry are one tabling, and another 15-20% are just terrible regulars, well half the pool are just ready to give you their money.
