Huge sitout/boycott scheduled for Nov. 5th at pokerstars response to its shortsighted and abusive rake inflation and other detrimental moves of late under Amaya leadership. It is very important all players, be they professional, serious grinder or even casual players band together to voice their displeasure at this corporation for the direction it is leading the entire industry into.
For more information I am cross referencing the 2p2 forum so that you can see what is afoot at the game's preeminent online forum:

Please Note:
I am an American resident and therefore have no direct current interest in Pokerstars keeping its rake structures/game structures and GTD's in place. I am voicing the concern we should all have for the welfare of a game where one can have fun, stimulate your mind and still be reasonably profitable when playing superior poker. If poker becomes just another table game, I won't play and interest will eventually wane to the point where the game will shrink and cease to exist as we know it. That doesn't mean NO changes are needed or NO rake increases can ever happen...but it does mean that gratuitous rake/structure changes undertaken by the de facto monopoly in many parts of the world must be confronted head on, and WE MUST MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD.
If you play at Pokerstars, PLEASE, take this one day off (Nov. 5th) to at least make the point to Amaya leadership people notice when the company takes more from the players. Furthermore, consider if Pokerstars is a place you want to keep giving your money to if no other action is taken by Pstars leadership.
Thank you and good luck at the tables,
Zach
