Re: if rakeback is so important how come PokerStars is a major player?
Stars isnt that much of a "player" in the cash game department. I play 3-6 and 5-10 and there are often 10 or less games going at those limits. When I do happen to play there, sometimes I can't even get four tables going.
Pokerstars cornered the tournament market right from the beginning with far superior structures. They earned a great tournamnet rep and backed that up by "producing" two World Champions.
The real question is: "how big could Stars be IF they offered rakeback"?
