***Joyful Jubilant January Cash Thread***

[WVHillbilly]

$4 rake is insane.

Oh anyone else reading the panic threads on 2+2 about the FPP changes.

No. We US players just wish we could care.

 

[LuckyChippy]

What's your opinion of the regs etc Jake?

Oh anyone else reading the panic threads on 2+2 about the FPP changes.

I'm currently restricted to 1 cash table at a time because I was involved in the mass sit out + queue up on stars.fr last night

Major over reaction by them imo, but I suppose they had to do something. I guess if I'm a good boy for the next couple of days they'll let me go back to multi-tabling, or I'll have to start taking Winamax seriously.

 

[Jurn8]

i never even look at rake lol

holy shit balls its the same at 6max , shows how soft the games are im beating them at 10bb/100 over 20k at that rake

edit: spew, iv paid 156 in rake over 2.8k hands at 50 and 100

 

[TylerN]

It's about to get rose parade poppin

 

[Jurn8]

$4 cap rake it says

 

[LuckyChippy]

Reading now tb trying to get informed. Seems the tables are back to normal anyways.

Making me wary of starting my Supernova grind now when there's better deals out there. Really confused atm.

 

[Jagsti]

Seriously I should just quit cash games for good. This is just so standard like this shit happens at least 20 times everyday. It's so fkin retarded I know my fate as soon as I hit my set! He's a 47/11.

Yeah I've been reading it. Pokerstars have ****ed this up beyond belief. They have made some really retarded decisions.

 

[tenbob]

I can see the point of trying to rid the place of 24 tableing nits though. Might have just been a better idea to limit the amount of tables that these guys play rather than hit everyone.

 

[Jurn8]

i b/f smallish jay like 1/3 pot or c/f im undecided whats his fcbet?

But Stars's flagship is the VPP reward system and especially SNE. They then wait till 4 days before the start of 2012 to shaft the very people they supposedly care about to **** them over. People plan this weeks/months in advance only for stars to move the goal posts last minute.

only 20 hanfds on him.

 

[Jurn8]

What's your opinion of the regs etc Jake?

most FR regs at 50 seem really weak tight but iv only played a small sample, iv played a tiny amount of 100 which seems more aggro but that maybe variance as its literally like 1k

 

[tenbob]

True, but the SNE programme was flawed in the first place. When i was playing nl$100 when it came in first the table became all but unplayable for someone playing for fun. Especially the full ring tables. Plus there is never a good time to change it considering that its a yearly thing.

 

[vanquish]

Don't you dare c/f that river

They could easily have announced that decision 2-3 months prior to changing it, not 4 days before the start of the new year. I mean ppl moved countries after BF to continue SNE, I dunno, they just seem to be maiking some god awful decisions lately. look at the SNG fiasco. They know they almost have the monopoly now so it's like lets do wtf we want.

 

[Jurn8]

idk id either bet like 3 or 4 bucks i think he can have 67, 57, T7, T9, 69 enough of the time plus random shit hes floated and picked up flush draw maybe A5hh/A6hh or JQhh

But if it turns out that Winamax really do offer a €1000 first deposit bonus then I'm going to be hard pushed not to go and grab it!

 

[vanquish]

Pretty lol that I'd have had to play like 2 million hands on stars in extremely nitty games just to get rakeback that's comparable to what I get on merge now in super soft games

 

[JOEBOB69]

Sucks cafe that you worked so hard to just get SN,then all this

 

[LuckyChippy]

At a loss as to where to play now. I've got £350 worth of bonus to clear at PS atm so that comes first but then I'm struggling to find reasons to stay there after.

i would like to speak to you about the merge games but you keep standing me up

 

[vanquish]

Have you been PMing me and I haven't responded? Cause I haven't been getting any new PMs, not sure if its a forum bug or something
