I feel as if there is not enough time to play a low ball strategy on stars because of all the turbos, hyper turbos , not enough starting chips. Feels like they are trying to take the edge away from everyone on there till it's raked dry. What are your guys thoughts on this matter?

For me it is also problem. It is hard to me to accommodate to such fast playing.

My thoughts are if that is the way you want to play then just find a 9-handed cash game where you can play deep stacked. Most people just don't have the patience to go fishing for that long.

Many people find it very annoying to play a slow game. They want to get on with it! And I don't blame them. I don't like playing multiple tables at once, but I don't want to wait 5 minutes for everyone else to decide that they are going to fold and I get new cards. I play the fast (but not hyper fast) games, sometimes two tables at once.

The site wants people to play more and play faster so there's a bigger rake. And that's perfectly understandable. There are lots of customers who want to play fast as well. So there's little point in moaning about how sites are ruining the game. Find the slower tables, or a site that has slower tables to your taste.

You also have to think that a lot of people want to play a certain volume per month and if you want to accomplish that you simply cannot open up four tables and sit there for the next 5 hours (assuming we talk about people who also have something else to do)
I personally like the slow game a lot, it is fun to play deep stacked but I must say after work if i just want to relax and spend a short amount of time in front of the laptop, I only play the turbos.
