Decline of the Pokerstars 10/20
 

I haven't been playing much Stars 10/20 lately after my disgust with Stars over the lack of action on softplaying and lack of punitative action in the ZeeJustin blowup and even when I look there seems to be far fewer games going there. I just looked and there is 1 full 6 max game and 1 SH game which is a new low as far as I can remember for this time of day. Is is just me or has the Stars 10/20 been seriously declining in popularity the last few weeks?

Party:
8 full 10/20 ring games
11 10/20 6 max

Full Tilt:
3 10/20 6 max on Full Tilt all full

PokerRoom:
1 7 person full ring ,
1 5 Person table 4/5 people
2 3 Person tables full

UB:

2 Full 6 Max

Prima:
2 Full 6 Max

This weekend they had a decent amount...sure it just isn't a monday 5pm thing?

I've seen some games going but not generally 4-5 full ring plus numerous short handed games like 2 months ago, I know because I'd frequently 4 table full ring when taking a break from Party/PokerRoom and I haven't been able to do that lately. I'm just looking for a survey of other people's perceptions and see if it was just my bad luck or whatever.

No, I do admit, the last 4 weeks it has slowly declined...not sure why...I don't think it has to do with the zee/jj stuff... ironic since stars is boasting 100k active players now...

5/10nl on stars has been nitty and deadish lately.

AZK,

I hope that some part of this is due to the stance that they took on the softplaying in those games and their relatively lax stance on cheating.

Cats,

This is 90% due to yourself. I mean your buying in short and then hitting and running, which you gloat over here all the time. The other players got tired of it and won't play there any longer with you. Pretty soon you and StoneAge will have the party games all f'kd up too.

Well I know Pstars lack of action against softplaying was initially why I stopped playing there and it has certainly affected my willingness to play there, especially if several different combinations of softplayers are on. I suspect this is the minority opinion however as most of the responses didn't seem to indicate they understood how much softplaying HU can distort the game in 3 way pots.

Re: Decline of the Pokerstars 10/20
 

I stopped playing the 5/10 on stars altogether because of their lack of punishment to ZeeJustin and how they don't care about the softplaying. Harder to get a read when people softplay eachother.
