Dear Lee Jones,

I am a recreational player who plays a couple thousand hands a week at most. Some people call me a fish. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I must tell you sir, I cannot wait to come to Stars after you implement the improvements suggested here.

I look forward to visiting tables full of slow playing tight nits who are seining for fish ten tables at a time.

I look forward to having my name pop up on everybody's "buddy" list.

I look forward to sitting at a table full of "professionals" who play 25000 hands a week, who never chat except to insult you if you catch once in a while.

I can't wait to sit with hudbots who NEVER play a hand without the nuts.

I can't wait to get on a table where I wait, and wait, and wait, for some multitabler to fold. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

So sir, in closing I wish you the speediest success in your "improvements". I will be along very quickly thereafter.

NOT!

Cut the amount of playable tables to 4 or 5 and you will see how fast they are gone...LOL

maybe we should add a minimum VPIP too. CANT LET THOSE NITS PLAY THEY RUIN THE GAMES.

but i guess it makes sense for stars to cater to the fish.

Okay, noted.

We had a similar discussion in a WSEX improvements thread.

Lets not turn this thread into a giant deal about whether Stars should allow 10-tabling or not.


The arguments have been made before and 2+2'ers seem pretty divided on this issue and I don't think that is going to change.


Lets just leave it at, "some want 10-tabling ability, others think it's bad for the game."

Bob, while I have your attention, I want to thank you for all the usefull links you post all the time (to different medias and so on).

Nice to have somebody that bothers doing that for the rest of us, "lazy" ones.

Lee et al., I don't want you to underestimate how big an issue this is for some of us.

In the 50 and 100 NL games it is really hard to accumulate points.

I play most of the time at Full Tilt. I would rather play at Stars. I play at Full Tilt for the same reason everyone else does. Even given that, I would play a lot more at Stars if I felt I could take full advantage of the VIP program.

One more suggestion is to put in a "custom" tab like Full Tilt has. It makes finding your game incredibly easy and quick. Yes, I know you can sort and stuff but filtering is better than sorting.

I've tried to direct homeless friends that didn't want to play at Party conversation usually goes as such.

"Bonus?" "Yeah like $50 with reloads"
"Only $50?, must be easy to clear like in a day?" "Uh not really unless you play SNG's or 10K hands of 25 or so NL"

"So what's the point of bringing in inexperienced players with a bonus they can't clear before going bust?" "I don't really know"

.25 points for $.25 cents rake
.50 point for $.50 rake
1 point for $1 rake

Boom done

Make the default buy-in for NL cash games a full stack, not 40BBs or whatever it is.
