not a big deal, imo.

Don't you think its kind of wrong to tack on this requirement without giving anything in return to the players? What's the basis for being forced to reveal your hole cards in an online final table? Obviously it's a great marketing attraction for the site, so it'd be nice if they gave us something in return. Certainly they don't have to, and, since they hold all the strings, probably won't. In any case, it seems uncharacteristic and unfair of Stars to implement this sort of thing, and it doesn't sit well with me.

yea, another misstep imo... when i chopped the sunday million i said no but that they should offer players some incentive to do so - they already rake 100k off of it, wanting a free marketing tool as well going too far.

Perhaps if everyone emailed them to object they would reconsider?

To you guys that want some sort of compensation, what do you think this should be?

its not so much the cash as the gesture - just a ticket to the monthly 530 or something that would make it worthwhile... Saying 'hey we'd like to show your FT and heres a ticket if you let us expose your cards' is slightly better PR than saying 'FU we already make 100k off this baby but would like some free promo material as well and were not even going to consult you on the matter'
