Default Help Me Badger Stars into HU Cash Games, PT 2

If at first you don't succeed, nag, nag again.

support@pokerstars.com
ideas@pokerstars.com

Hello,

I'm writing you to inquire about the possibility of Stars adding one on one cash games to their lobby in the future. Currently a lot of the competing sites, such as Full Tilt, Absolute, and Pokerroom are offering one on one games and I imagine are experiencing some success. I've always been partial to heads-up play, and currently play very little on Stars because it is not offered. If such tables were available I could certainly imagine myself spending a great deal of time at your site in the future.

Sincerely,
<Name>

A tough battle. The collusion teams likely make up a good portion of their customer base and would oppose something like this, which would cut into their business.

I have no information. This is speculation, but speculation I have a high degree of confidence in. People who were online winners for several years, when there were lots of fish, can no longer win. They are now writing books and such, something that a profitable multi-tabler would not have time to do. There are not a sufficient number of fish to offset the cheaters. Even the best players can no longer win if they are not part of a collusion group, at least not at the higher levels.

The strongest players, the honest ones who don't cheat, have figured this out and will only play heads up. The cheaters likely have some sort of pull at sites that don't offer heads up play. Why would they not? The games move so fast that the site must make a ton in rake from heads up tables. I think people who have lots of influence make money off of collusion teams.
