PokerStars VIP Changes 2016 and onwards

Has Negreanu told us all how good these changes are yet?

Yes

All but confirmed people have been using HUDS on the anon tables of Bovoda. Not sure if its just table by table, which I would presume, or manages to get past the anon to track accounts.

Anskys post was excellent. I do wonder what the next step is. There is virtually nothing I can do that wouldn't have a huge effect on my income. I guess its time to hope someone else emerges. This feels like a big gamble by Amaya when they have such a great deal at the moment.

Yes

If Amaya said they would drown 200 puppies a day, Daniel would find a way of supporting it.

Arse licker.

Wish Keith would get off the fence about Negreanu

[DaveShoelace]

Something tells me if Negreanu saved the life of 200 puppies a day, Keith would have a problem with it.

[Ironside]

200 less puppies a day in the world could go towards feeding 200 babies a day

[Ironside]

not that i am advocating it just saying what Mr N might come up with  when stars go that way

Seriously I have no clue why he's so popular.

Why can't people see just how disingenuous he really is.

Every word that he utters about a slightly contentious issue is uttered not for the good of poker, it's said for the enhancement of Daniel Negreanu.

He's a two faced, arse licking, vacuous scumbag.

[The Camel]

I heard a very strong rumour that the reason he stopped criticising Howard Lederer over Full Tilt was because if he didn't Howie would reveal a very large skeleton in Danny Boy's wardrobe.

I wonder what it is.

cupboard skeletons ITT

the worst thing about playing on stars is undoubtedly receiving emails plastered with that diseased ***** smug face and self-satisfied smug-to- the-verge-of-creepiness-smile tellling me about the latest exciting promotion.

what a rotter.

I personally think he's great for the game. A genuine superstar, great talent, friendly and has adapted his game to stay at the top.

So what if he's self serving. I see that as a quality too

[DaveShoelace]

Never understood the aversion poker folk have to A) a sponsored player being self serving and B) an online poker room trying to max their profits.

It's remarkable how many people on 2+2 have posted to the effect of 'I guess we have learned PokerStars are only doing this for the money...'

What the hell else is a business doing it for? Given they have staff as well as shareholders, I'd be mortified if they weren't trying to make as much money as profit. You should of course complain about the way they make a profit, and especially if what they are doing is short sighted for all parties, but complaining because a business is motivated to do the exact thing it should be motivated to do is silly.

And everyone complaining about Stars wanting to make as big a profit as possible is complaining because the latest changes are stopping them from making as big a profit as possible. Nobody 24-tables hyper turbos for the love of the game, so why does everyone demonise Stars for wanting to make money?

btw not directing this at anyone here, all of it directed at the many ludicrous comments I've seen on 2+2.
