I'm becoming less and less convinced it's a blip, there was a very short burst of a few tables and now it's back to a single 6 max table and 6:15 PT is normally busy time.

Stars ups security by questioning an MTT mod.


I think this is slightly relevant to your discussion.

Seems somewhat unlikely, most of the 10/20 regulars are cash game specialists and there doens't seem to be that much outcry amongst the posters replying to the thread, personally I think he both asked for a penalty by announcing his cards in a hand and with a few comments that left a lingering impression that softplay was indeed an inadvertant possibility with players he knew. Poker is horribly vulnerable to any sort of collusion or teamplay and I think any regular who values the game should realize this and be accomdating of the sites so far feeble efforts to combat it.

Yeah, I don't think this has anything to do with the empty tables; I just thought you guys would want to see a thread dealing with stars security.

I guess I'm not flying under the radar.

Don't get too worried, it will probably be a while before I am playing 10/20 NL

If this is the Stone Age I know from playing 10/20 then you are correct, it will be a long time before you are actually "playing" 10/20.

Considering that 95%+ of the time I sit with a full stack at 5/10, 10/20 and 10/25 at most of the sites I listed and at Stars I can't remember the last time I hit and run within 30 hands of doubling up, I don't think we'll be calling you Sherlock anytime soon since your powers of observation are exceeding weak. I reserve pure hit and run for 25/50 & up where it's not uncommon to see 4 or more players in a full ring with PFR in excess of 15%.
