Default Re: Deep stack tables

Thanks beset. Here is what I sent to them with your note pasted below.

Dear Stars Support,

As you are probably aware by now, there is an initiative on the 2+2 boards by high-volume (read: profit centers) pot limit omaha players to try and get Poker Stars to setup tables that have a high minimum buy-in amount, instead of the 20 bb minimum that you have now. I personally don't play on PokerStars now because the 6 max games on Full Tilt are better games since we don't have to worry about players employing the short stack strategy (see below for details).

However, for me it would be nice if I could play both on Full Tilt and Poker Stars. You can check my Poker Stars account and see that over the last year, I have played very little cash PLO games. Conversely, by my calculations, I've generated at least $2,000 in rake over at Full Tilt. If you start offering deep stack tables or 6 max tables, I will start to play on Stars. If not I will continue playing Full Tilt exclusively.

Also, last year you have probably noticed that you probable had two to three times as many cash games in PLO compared to Full Tilt. Now, when I look, I see Full Tilt has just as many if not more. And here's the kicker, when PLO players have the free choice between 9 handed or 6 max...they choose 6 max. I predict if you don't make the changes, you will continue to lose market share to Full Tilt's cash games.

I think it's a great idea to put in deep stack plo...in all forms of poker, the deeper the stacks, the greater the skill needed.

If they give us a bigger max and the same min it's worthless.

I sent mine as well, with similar response. Guess we'll just have to see what happens now.
