I will speak from the fixed limit end of the argument about getting to Supernova Elte bbecause that is the only thing I play

1. Unfair that SNG players get to play unlimited games while cash game players have 12 table limit. Ide rather play more tables and less hours. Doesnt matter about winning or losing because that is all up to stars anyways, so you might as well maximize your tables.

2. Free rolls are stupid and bias. Geared towards no-limit tournament players that have nothing to do on Saturdays. Do you not think this is getting too specific, alianating the rest of the poker population. Might I add that alianating the part of the poker population that you need most is not such a smart idea. There are tons and tons of No limit tournament players ( fish and pros ) out there, but what is the player base for Cash game fixed limit players ?

3. Add more ( special perks ) at all milestone levels.

FE: You get 1.8c per FPP at the 500,000 milestone level or things of that nature. Instead of a onetime 4,200 dollar bonus that you have to play 20,000 hands to clear which is plenty of hands for them to rig against you and spread out that money throughout their player pool.


Solutions

1. Allow no max on games played, if a player can play 40 tables at once than allow him to do so.

2. Absolutely, possitively, get rid of the stupid freerolls. One time monthly bonus will be better , or T money or, even a money maker plate set with matching cups.

3. More lucrative rewards for 2million, 3 million, 4 million and 5 million. To make it worth while for dealing with rigged and borring online poker. I want to know there is a good reward after watching people fold for hours, days and weeks on in.

4. Get rid of Pokertracker and other software aids. If players are not good enough to play on their own then let them suffer. It just might help the games, way way too many tighty tighty nits. Its similar to allowing robots.

5. Advance notice of Double VPP days and more double VPP days. Hey theres a great Idea, get rid of all freerolls including the 100k monthly and all other freerolls and add 1 Double VPP day per month or 2 so that incase someone misses the one day they can have the other. Dont whine about this promo costing you too much money, because players will have to play and pay rake in order to get these points so it will increase play greatly on those days.

6. Start doing things to appeal to more regular ( non pro ) players as mentioned above removing the PA huds and such would help greatly.

7. Bottom line thinking will bottom out your company. Dont merely think of how to get more pros to play more tables against each other. For full ring limit games, if you play 12 tables, there are 8 players who are on most if not all your tables. What goes through the casual players mind when any table he opens he sees the same players on all tables ? He just closes down the software and plays somewhere else. Bring in more fish to games otherwise I see the future of limit poker dying very soon if not already dead. And yes this means the dreaded reload bonuses that stars just loves to hate. Stop being stingy and dishem out. The money is going to circulate back into your pockets anyways.

But then again what do I know, Ive only ran 5 successfull buisness and have net worth over 2 mill. ( which has dropped to 1.90 due to rigged poker on stars.

For those curious I am down about 20k on stars this year without counting any FPP or milestone bonuses. After all things considered Im down only 6k. Which is not bad at all considering I havent played 1 week of poker which hasnt been rigged on me. I have had maybe 5 normal days of poker all year.

Microbob, stop posting play more poker, it would be shame if you dont make elite this year because your posting here way to often. Maybe you dont win at poker because of bad decision making ?Posting over playing always bad decision. Im not sure if you win or not but I remember you saying that your slightly down.

except for this, maybe?

"Geared towards no-limit tournament"

The weekly tournaments and the SNE packages are geared towards the no-limt tournament players. Maybe stars could consider changing this to reward/encourage limit players
