Do u ever play online anymore Alex? Knocked it on the head completely?

Almost never no mate. The odd online day 1 to a DTD event or a quick spin on 6PLO in a spare moment is just about it. How about you?

Bowling around mainly. Odd comp live/odd comp online. Pretty busy with work otherwise.

Glad you're enjoying your poker and congrats on the engagement

Great to see these lollive stories again mate. Really interesting to see how different the tone is 5 years on.

I can't hold myself up to the Alex Goulder yardstick anymore, so it's a shame to not have any rivalry for morale "that'll make the diary" etc. but still awesome to see you crushing it. Even if you are just a giant luckbox Cheesy

This is certainly not an online only issue. If the planned changes go ahead and all rakeback is removed from $5/10+ on stars then the £5/10 and £10/25 live games in london look a lot more attractive to your winning $25/50 stars reg and there are a fair few of those from all over the world living in london Sad

Yeah Dan is right. Lot of Anerican PLO players who relocated said they going to just cash out and go play bigger live games in LA etc, imagine same thing will happen everywhere.

Not taking a shot at Alex for 'sabotaging the struggle' or anything, just highlighting the point that this isn't just an issue for high stakes online cash grinders, it affects everyone playing cash games. If the big rake hike displaces a ton of good players then its essentially another black friday for them. We've seen that plenty of players are willing to relocate thousands of miles from home so they'll certainly be willing to relocate to their local casino if the online games are no longer beatable.

Personally I don't see it making any difference to the executive decisions that are made my 'Stars. From the Negreanu podcast with Joey yesterday it was pretty clear that the gulf between what the execs say that they are trying to achieve (a more level playing field and a better playing experience for recreational players) and what the proposed rake hike will actually achieve is wider than it has ever been.

It was a good job by the PR guys though to put their announcement about removing seating scrips and super-HUDs (which the vast majority of recs and pros alike want removed) in the same news release as the rake hike. Supernova Elite is the biggest anti-bumhunting device there is. It just isn't possible to make 1m VPPs in a year without playing all comers.
