Re: So I guess Stars isn\'t asking to show hole cards at FT\'s anymore.

I guess it's completely unreasonable of me to think Stars would want as many people in the tournament as they can get...

Is it completely unreasonable to think that this move actually might attract more - and especially more weak players - to the tournament?
Running replays with all hole cards revealed turns the tournament into a show. Shows - and the once-in-a-life-time chance of being the star of the show - attracts people that play for a number of other reasons than necessarily making money.
I've noticed the participation in the mill over all has flattened out since the jump when Party pulled out of the US market.
This could be part of a strategy to increase the number of participants.
Obv. strong players will benefit most from this.
If I'm right this is certainly a compensation for revealing your FT playing style to the World.
