Will pokerstars lose most of players ? Changes what they made are against most of the players there, VPPs change, freerolls canceled, rake is smaller for some players . etc.. What are you think, are be mass movement to other sites ? I know I will be move , and play only freerols there, nothing else.

well since i am no longer a freeroller removing all the freerolls doesn't really bother me that much either, i still see plenty of mtts with 4 figure top prizes for less than $5 entry so that will keep me going.

if their mtt schedule goes downhill i may consider re-locating

For me, as a new player freerolls cancel is the sad news. I played mostly in the freerolls. I do not know if I'll change the poker room, but I will play less. I do not think about leaving the PokerStars yet.

Its not a big lose for freerols poker players, its much bigger issue for SuperNova and Supernova elite players. Lets say Supernova elite play exactly the same ammount of games ,and win same number of tournament and cash games, this year he will be somwhere beetwen 75,000-120,000 dollars smaller cash awarded for games he played.

I'll definitly remain paying at Stars, 'cause they still are site with the best traffic and smallest rake in the low-limit SNGs.

As of those who protest - they are not doing it for the higher cause of ''future of online poker'' - they are just angry Supernovas/SNEs who want their rakeback money back

The people who play freerolls will move from pokerstars ,the rest of the players who have money won't move , but for me is very bad that pokerstars changes a lot ,I don't like that, I prefer pokerstar like it was before but we can't do something just try to win

Leaving of some players will change nothing. Statistics show the number of players in poker stars is increasing. New players come.

I was thinking about getting chrome status to play "privilege" freerolls. But now there is no sense in it at all. PS deprived themselves a lot of rake dollars from me.

Hopefully in a couple of months this will all be behind us.

I liked playing the bankroll mob freerolls whenever I was running bad.
It use to help me with variance. Well if felt like that anyway.

The loss of the privilege freerolls will surely deter many small stakes players.

Pros will always go where the big fish are. Whether or not some of the biggest online games move will depend, but a lot of the grinders will have to stay where their good games are. I don't think many sites have the volume Stars has, but maybe I'm wrong.

What they did affects mostly the freerollers and the supernovas, the rest in between had not many changes at all.

In fact, chrome status got some improvement

You guys thinking its just the big guys getting hit want to start thinking about how them getting hit is going to affect them. Since their rewards were based on volume a lot of them were breakeven or slightly losing with hte rakeback making their profits. Take those profits away and those people are then losing. THye aren't going to keep losing , they will move down and start making money off players at the levels lower down making those games harder. small winners in those game will then become losers as their games get harder because of the higher stakes players moving down. They in turn will move down and beat the players at levels below them.

Every one is losing out on the new fpp system with 20 steps as you lose the marginal uncleared level at the end of the month, you've lost your stellar rewards .Rewards have been cut for most players , not just the SNEs

Lets hope someone else makes a decent poker site before Pokerstars goes bust.

Because it appears they made changes because their struggling finiancially, and they change things which end up helping them for a month but you'll find after a year unless they do something they will go bust lol.

So expect some movement this year hopefully from stars or they'll cripple.


........................


All they have to do is think what created the boom? They should be focusing on creating new poker stories of how people made from not much to making it.

not giving people reasons to not bother playing anymore lol. idiots.
