Is this right?
Seems they are letting new accounts play each other before allowing the grinders to fleece em. Seems great for the site.
This is the thin end of the wedge for online poker pros. Was always gonna happen I thought. HUD will be banned to keep the cash in the big recreational player pool and increase rakeback free rake.
About time too really for the good of the game on the whole but no so good for pros.

thing that are good for the game should take precedence over things that are good for the pro's, as in the long run they are the same thing.

I think that all sites should offer tables where players are not allowed to be playing more than 2 tables.

I've no idea what the long term solution is to making the games better, but this strikes me as a much better idea than what Party are doing.
People need to feel like they can win in poker. Discriminating against winning players is bad, bringing to the attention of a losing player that they are a losing player is also bad - both of which Party essentially are doing.

There are tonnes of players out there that dont want to play in reg infested games as they are too slow, too nitty, too pre flop etc etc
Not what the recs want, esp on a Friday and Saturday night

Can't agree with any of this. Discriminating is fine to keep the fish tank full, and the recs clearly aren't going to see everyone else's lobby.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Thats the regs view thou, some recs just wanna play recs, play post flop, don't want to go to casinos. It's not about providing for those making a living out of it, it about providing a range of products that customers want. They don't HAVE to play these tables, it's all about choice, but I'm sure recs should have a choice

Ban the winners from the live games too. Maybe tweak the rng a little to help the fish out?
This is a really bad thing for poker.

You dont. They didn't announce it either. People felt something was up and then a youtube video of someone table scanning from a winning reg and a fish account was shown.
Fish account had a lot more tables and fish on the tables.

What's to stop you playing 2 on aprty, 2 on stars, 2 on tilt, 2 on DTD etc etc, seems a good idea but ultimately flawed..

Nothing but pretty sure most regs are rake back pros and as such need to maximise on 1 site
