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

They are giving you something in return. They are guaranteeing a prize fund of 1 million dollars! Any site that is willing to put that kind of money on the line should have the right to make a relatively minor requirement like this.

This is a little disingenuous. They are guaranteeing 1m but they know they wont be running an overlay and they reserve the right to change it from week to week (which don't get me wrong is perfectly reasonable). What I mean is that they can and will change the guarantee if they foresee an overlay, we've seen the 1m changed before when something like this happened (I believe it was on Christmas or something, and they changed it to a 100k added which in turn translated to a rake reduction for those playing).
What I'm saying is it's a little bit fallacious to say they are "willing to put that kind of money on the line", because they hold the cards, and the money is only on the line until they choose to take it back.
Again, I'm not saying this is the end of the world, or that stars is anything but the best site out there and the mil is anything but the best mtt on the net. I'm just saying this particular change in policy is unfair to the players, and I will speak against it if only to make sure Stars knows people are looking out for players' rights.
