    well, it only seems fair considering they were routinely missing guarantees in their tournaments lately.

    I hear there is this big live tournament series that a lot of people from around the world go to. They even spend their time at the juicy cash games when they aren't playing tournaments. That might have something to do with it.

    I don't really have a problem with them lowering guarantees, I'm still going to play everything. But obviously the WSOP is going to be costing them business. I normally play like everyday, but have only put in 3 days in the last 2 weeks because of live tourneys and obvious las vegas degeneracy.

    Perhaps it is the 30 mil in frozen funds and millions of players that are hesitant to play online now...just a guess.

    Good job stars. Way to fuck up all your tournaments and make everyone stop playing them. Jesus christ

    Get someone that knows what they are doing to revamp your tournament schedule/payout structure etc.
