Also, it looks like there software currently limits the number of 5/10 6 max games to 12.

apparently, lots of players are migrating over to stars for their vip program. Lack of rakeback at party, and a good vip program at stars is enough to lure the high volume players over.

I've noticed the Stars effect in the Party games actually. Lots of my old villains are suddenly gone. And there was much rejoicing. (Ok, I'd be on Stars as well, if it weren't for the quantum madness of Swedish tax law, but let me rejoice in small ways atleast!)

That's the irony of it, when a site comes up with a good VIP program/rakeback/something good for large volume pro's, it tends to attract them, and that reduces how good the site is.

This must be true in the shortterm but now pokerstars have a really attractive package to market to fish and one that encourages fish to play more - they are going to love the free tvs etc. Plus all the money from us lot will help pay for the marketing.

I think it will be a good thing and I always wanted to play more at stars and I want that big tv.

One thing that I learned during my 100K hand odyssey last year was to be careful with not letting the desire to rack up hands destroy my EV. It is difficult to balance table selection with getting the points in, but is more profitable in the long run.

The full tables really seem tight right now, I'm looking a lot more at the 6 max, omaha and stud. My track record on short limit tables is not good, but this might be a good time to put some time into learning that genre better.

And of course, if it looks too bad I still have a lot of uncleared bonuses on other sites. I'm hoping things will improve in a few days/weeks, I really like playing at Stars.

yeah, i think this will really attract the newbies into stars. They can play at stars and get nice free electronics rather than play at party and get nothing. Here's hoping the fishies will migrate to stars as I've been looking for a reason to play at stars for a while.

For what it's worth, I had my best single-day ring game results yesterday on Stars 3/6. Despite what a quick look at the stats would say, the tables were not filled with very good players.

SNGs are just as juicy as ever. And the no-limit tables seem to be kickin' just fine.
