Why are people playing on stars ? Tables all less than 18%

OnlinePro · #1 05-22-2007, 05:28 PM

There are currently 7 tables of 5-10 full ring going.

All with less than 18% flop seen percentage.

There are 8 tables of 3-6 going all with less than 17% flop seen percentage.

My question is why are people playing in these games ? There are obviously 0 fish in the game, is the rakeback so good that it is worth it to sit down with 9 other pros on every single table ?

What the hell is going on. Where are all the fish ? The only reason I even played this week is for the double VIP points. The games are likes this all the time even during regular non promo days.

it's not just the full ring games, I find the same for the shorthanded NL games. The 6max NL games on pokerstars and party are like night and day.

This was one thing I always wondered from stars. The players there seem to be so much more nitty than any other sites. I wish Pokerstars has the same marketing team as Partypoker, it would be the greatest pokersite ever.

and really, every player mutlitabling 8 at the same time trying to churn out 8 dollars a hour.

What site would you recommend? What are the table averages for FTP, for example?

The past week or so has been partically bad at Pokerstars in terms of VP$IP and pot size averages.

I like playing FR NL on Stars against a bunch of multitabling nits. You are assuming tight players are better players.

The stars limit games have been crap for years. They might not be great players, but it doesn't change the fact that there is basically ZERO dead money in the pots preflop. I personally hate those type of games, really not interested in playing in a tight 20/40 style of game at only 2/4 stakes with a rake that is .75BBs.
