Default Why doesn\'t PokerStars offer bigger games?

It is something software/server related? I would think there would have to be a demand for 50/100 and 100/200 NL games. Would 300/600 even be a possibility for LHE? Would any of the Stud games benefit from having 75/150 or ever 100/200?

Pokerstars has the same games as Party. This question has been asked many times. I believe it has something to do with the sites not wanting the players to quickly go broke. There wasn't that much action at 25/50 for a while but with the soon influx of most of the party players to either Stars, UB or FT, they will probally open games soon but they are much slower than FT or UB at opening the big games.

Agreed with the last 2 posts, mostly the same names every session the 200/400 NL runs on FT.

why worry about players going BUSTO, when US Legislation will force Stars to go busto. Time to raise the rake/stakes.

He was saying raise the rake so the sites can "get in more $ before ban" (which is LOL) and raise the stakes so we (players) can player higher games while the game is still available (again LOL)
