    They replaced the regular HU's with a structure where you start with 1500 chips and blinds are 25/50 and don;t increase. They completely removed the old structure, from what I can see.

    Even though i don't see the point as this is basically just another turbo i still like the added game selection. However it makes no sense to play these unless the rake % is the same as the others.

    I love the idea and the ones that start at 15/30.

    Can someone expain why some start and 25/50 and considering they logically would end alot faster somehow have more rake than one that has 15/30 blinds.

    EDIT: nevermind I will make a educated guess and say they experimented with 25/50 realized it was a ridiculous structure and went to 15/30 with nornal 5% rake. TY stars great addition.

    I find it hillarious that some suggest this to FTP the other day on 2p2 and FTP mod said he would look into it and BOOM Stars has it the next day lol.
