Default What happen to PokerStars? Massive Fish invasion?

Seriously, either I’ve become the luckiest person playing poker, or something is up with PokerStars this month. Horrible players are to be found at NL25.

Here’s what I’ve seen in the last two days.
All in every hand till he busts out.
Buy in short, push all in any pocket pair. Get busted and repeat.
NEVER fold any flush draw, including 23 on a paired board FOR ANY AMOUNT. 3PSB, no problem call.
Never fold with any piece of the flop, including bottom pair and a 2 kicker.
KJ calling down 2/3 – pot sized bets every street.
AJ calling down 2/3 – pot sized bets on a TT4A2 board
Player pushing A7o over a 2% preflop raiser.

I don’t quite understand it. It seems so many players seem to have been beaten with the stupid stick. People seem to be playing worse than at .01/.02.

Anyone have an explanation? Or have I just been incredibly lucky?

The problem is, I'm pretty much a horrible player, and even to me during the last week players have been even worse.

I didn't wake up one day able to play poker, yet suddenly there's a huge difference in skill that didn't exist last month. I'd like to know why.

Theres been over 17,000 cash players on stars for the past 5 days which is 2500-3000 more players than this time last month so maybe there's a pay method thats been introduced that makes it easier for casual players to deposit.

availability of e-checks again for most people

Maybe US players can now deposit via E-Check again. I received a notification sometime in October that PayTru will not be renewed once the card's expiration date is reached.

I live in NY, my coworkers buy prepaid visa cards at the supermarket and turn $50 into $2 by Monday morning playing on stars.
