But let me ask the question. Why wouldn't you guys support a membership site? Say $49/month or some such number? [/ QUOTE ] Tuff, It isn't that I wouldn't support it, I would in the right conditions. I know it's a good idea but how are you going to convince the recreational player that it's worth the investment. The guy who plays a couple of Friday nights a month isn't going to see the value in making this monthly payment. If you figure out how to stock your pond I'm there in a heartbeat.

[ QUOTE ] When did 6max become the norm and why? Here is my answer: about 3 years ago and to increase the rake that every player pays by almost 100%. [/ QUOTE ] Wrong again. 6 max became the norm because it was demanded by the players. As 6 max gained popularity players started gravitating towards the sites that offered these shorthanded games. The action junkies gravitated towards these tables making them much more profitable than full ring. There were many threads on this forum (where the GMs of poker sites often participated) when 6 max tables first emerged. Lots of pressure was put on sites that did not offer short handed tables. More hands = more rake of course but it was never the sites who forced 6 max tables upon the players - it was definitely the other way around. I'm all for lower rake but posts like yours will never result in serious discussion. You make up facts (such as rewriting history on the birth of 6 max) to fit your argument. You don't offer any solutions and everything you have stated was already stated by the crazy who preceded you. You offer nothing new or constructive to the discussion.

[/ QUOTE ] It is naive to think that the sites did this because of player pressure. Did they also raise the rake from $2-$3 because of player pressure? Put up the links where the GM's are getting pressured if you can. Also, as this very thread shows, the sites have plenty of lackies to post there point of view. LOL. There was more short action on Party Poker before the 6-max games arrived. Some of us remember when you could see 20 or so 2-4 handed games. So YOU my friend are WRONG AGAIN. Really, answer this: Don't you think that the sites will try to manipulate the discussion on here? Answer no to that. I dare you. Then will see who gets flamed.

I'd still like to see a PT shot. Honestly I've never seen a screenshot with millions of hands... most was FGators' 1.6 or so. [/ QUOTE ] How exactly does this add to the debate?
