I thought you were going back to the US because your partner has a job there now?

Don't play on Pokerstars anymore, and I wouldn't if I stayed either. That's what I have to say about the game quality there.

It will get better brtnboarder, you've just got to believe it! :-)

Don't lose faith.

Maybe just before the first boom in 2003, everyone was solid and that's why hardly anyone played online poker as there was no money in it. Then all that changed and the same could happen again after the second boom.

Sounds about right

at 25-50NL full ring when I open my lobby there are usually around 50tables, but only 5 tables with no waitinglist.

it would be nice if pokerstars could add a filter on the lobby for:
maximum number of player on waitinglist < x players

Or even better, restrict waitinglists to 4-5 players.

In this way many regs would choose to open more tables instead of forming 10-20player waitinglists(witch do not help anyone). This way there will be more tables running and pokerstars will receive more rake. And players could open tables faster and recreational players could sit at a table faster.

What do you guys think about this?

lol, 2, ask my roomate. A huge part of me wants to stay. I've always put money before anything in the past, and now I have an insatiable urge to put happiness before money. Each year I've tried to add to my savings considerably, and now I'm more about trying to have fun for a short 12 month period of time. Online games suck now, period. I've never wavered from my stance on that. As to my results, sure I beat up on the games hard lately, but have I noticed a rapid deterioration in game quality and my ability to get matches the last 4 months? a resounding yes. Coupled with my fiance wanting / having the ability to make 60k / year. It pulls me to leave this place (you can't work in Canada as an American in case you didn't know). So you see my problem? Close EV calc between happiness here and less money, or more money in FL and less happiness. I'm worried it's a case of

My expenses here for me and my fiance are roughly 4.5k / month. You could do it for 2-5k / month per individual depending on if you want to live like a Hobo (a few guys seriously live in tents by the river during ski season), or a Boss.

Gotta keep in mind when there are 15 people on a waitlist, realisticly it's only about 3-5 people because a good portion of those guys just join all waitlist and won't take that seat, they will have 24 tables up when they have a seat available and ninja auto declines, etc.. I'm not saying it's not absurd, scares fish away, and something should be done (cap waitlist, which I have been suggesting to support for a year now). Just saying don't let it frustrate you that bad cause it's not as bad as it seems.

Dont know if Brtn is talking about midstakes/hu games, but the 100 tables the last 2 months have been better than they ever have in the last 4 years IMO. Today was absolutely ridiculous. Russian spastic fish everywhere.
