I think Pokerstars is going to make a difference in the near future. As we know they lost many players and they will try to bring them back. I do not think they have the intention of destroying this room. I think they will do some good things for players so as not to lose even more players.

Is it a good thing to deuce the buy in of the Sunday million? Only time will tell whether more players are drawn to the site to play the reduced entry fee tournament or wither it stats costing pokerstars more money to run it. I hadn’t enlisted this change had taken place . Maybe it’s time to think about playing it again.

I think that PokerStars is in hands of business's sharks that don´t worry about the poker game, only of look for the better way to make more money. Is the same pattern in all the activities: The sharks buy a company, cuts or shut down all the path where are a leak of money (prizes, rake back, personal time, etc), and look for build a "money machine" fastest and greatest

That's how it works with Pokerstars but now you think they will have the courage to make bad decisions from now on? How do you think they will still bear to lose players? Do you think they pursue intentionally to destroy this brand? I think it will be better in the next period. We'll see this and i hope i'm right.

Poker stars is on top of the poker world. It wont be easy to lose their place, either from someone else doing better than them, or with them messing things up. Someone can say, that they need to work very hard, in order to destroy the specific business of theirs. A couple of mistakes, or wrong decisions, wont make the trick

The biggest chance to dethrone this poker room is Partyv Poker from my point of view. I think Pokerstars will not match up with the situation and something will change in good here. If they are still in the top 1 of this industry will do good things to stay in the top.

I´m don´t writing about the dethrone of PokerStars like the 1st. poker´s room CALICUL my friend. I´m trying to explain that the moves that they do, aren´t moves thinking in the better for the players or the poker game if not only for making more money. I can play there because have good software and good traffic, but not good intentions

I am referring to the fact that they will not accept to losing the first place in this industry. I know what you said but i say as Pokerstars will change something in future if they lose in front of another poker room. You would be pleased if someone is in permanent competition with you? I do not think and PS is the same. They will bring good things.

They might accept anything if they can make a growing stake of money...what is 6+ Holdem? what is Omaha Split?, these are legit products of poker game industry? If they can discover the way to win more money mixing the I´Ching prophesies with the four aces and three queens, they may find a name for that "new format"

Don't need to destroy the business just break the monopoly on the top. Better software, better tourney structure and lesser rake would benefit so many that it would not be hard to build a nice playerpool out of their disgruntled customers.

You're not forced to play Omaha Split and others games my friend. You must to play satellites for good games like $5.50, 11 or more. Also satellites for Sunday Million they are perfect. Why you do not try this? You can never know when the big luck will hit. You have to try and to play for this kind of luck.

I thank you for your good intentions and wishes CALICUL, I will try to do some of them. But I´m an insignificant player who is trying to win some cents wherever it is. So is logical that I might play in PokerStars sometime in the future. The insane situation may be that I would be thinking in the good purposes of PS to the players or the game health

You must to play for cents in other poker rooms and to play satellites in pokerstars. You need to have a poker room and to try to make money without worrying about your bankroll. In the other rooms you play as you like for cents or for few bucks. You have to modify the method a bit at least for pokerstars.

But there, in PokerStars, isn´t freerolls or free satellites. You have to have a strategy of bankroll management to play these tournaments, and they have most variance than any tournament. You need more than 200 BI to play it. No seems a good business. But I understand your idea: play tournaments with more players and prizes

I do not know what does it mean this thing 200 BI but you can try a deposit of 10 or 20 dollars and then you only play satellites with them. If you have a profit in another poker room and it's a few hundred dollars, you can do it a deposit after that of 10% of this amount and to play satelittes after that. Maybe you can qualify in main tournaments to try to ,,break the ice'' in a big tournament.

Is about bankroll management. Different authors have different advice and strategies about it, but all of them are built around the amount of buy-in that you need to play in a specific level of a game. There is a "Kelly´s criterion", i.e., that give a mathematic formula linking your ROI and your winrate. The common ratio to a tournament level is that you have to have 200 buy-in of bankroll to play there.

You did not understand what want to tell you. In pokerstars you play without fear that you will lose all your luck and bankroll of course. You must to have a poker room and to play just for luck but with big concentration. You really want to play for cents in all poker rooms? You do not want to make an exception?

Why you said it?, I don´t understand. PokerStars is a poker`s room with the best traffic to all the formats of poker games, and that`s good for an attempt to be a regular player with high volume. DOT All the rest of the variables don´t give me any insurance about bankroll management, variance, pool of players, etc. I don´t understand CALICUL

You do not understand because you did not read my comments. What i want to say about you is that: you can not play in all the rooms with the same strategy, my friend. You have to make an exception for Pokerstars and to play in a different way. If you want to make a small deposit here, you will need to play satellites for larger tournaments. You have to try, maybe you will be lucky.
