NL Cash Heads up at Pokerstars?

[Perseus]

The average losing online poker player does not care about rakeback as much as they care about FPP's where they can buy cool things.

I'm pretty sure the Stars $1500 supernova bonus comes out to around 27% rakeback for 6max and over 30% for full ring. Add in the weekly $20K and $50K VIP freerolls, if you feel like grinding a few tourneys on Saturday afternoons, and it could be much higher. The Platinum $650 bonus is around 16-20% rakeback depending on what you play so that's not too bad either. Actually it's great if you don't have rakeback at FTP. It remains to be seen how those numbers would come out for heads up games though.

As far as Stars vs FTP player quality, they're pretty much the same but I prefer the Stars software and like the VIP program better. That and I lose sound on FTP after 30 minutes so that's super annoying. The one great thing about FTP is the ability to datamine, especially when playing heads up. That 'advantage' would be sorely missed at Stars.

I have emailed them a few more times, as i determined to follow through with this to the end. i give credit to the poker stars support for keeping its cool, asi have emailed them NUMEROUS times. here is the latest response.

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for your response.

Please be assured that I have forwarded your email to the ideas box.
Besides what I have told you previously, there is not much I can add. I understand how you feel. Whilst I do not play heads up ring games myself I understand that there is a demand for them. Aside from forwarding your email to our ideas box I will also personally speak with my manager about this issue.

I'm sorry that we've disappointed you. If there is anything else we can help you with please don't hesitate to ask.


Regards,

StephenT

On a related note, it took Stars years to add 6mPLO citing all sorts of reasons, but, eventually they did add 6mPLO.

PS Yes I've already emailed stars multiple time WRT HU Cash

I replied to a question I asked earlier about WCOOP HU sats. They will be running soon FYI.

Thank you for the quick reply, I appreciate it.

I have a suggestion I would like for you to forward for the specific department/person that it relates to.

As a longtime PokerStars player I would really be happy if Heads Up Cash tables were added to the site. Myself, as well as numerous Heads Up players I talk with would be very active in these games and increase our playing time at these tables. Other sites obviously have these tables, and I understand there are certain drawbacks to having them, but at the same time I think it is either unclear or there is an underestimate in the amount of extra rake/gameplay this would generate.

Thank you,

Ryan

P.S. One of the new guys must've turned it off, but could you please turn my luckbox back on, I believe it has been off for the last few weeks.

Thanks again.
