this is not good if they put this at all tables
i dont think they will,
but i think it would really hurt the quality of the NL25 an Limit .5/1 games

You think fish will get better after 45 days at what will be equivalent to play money tables?

Really now, there's a huge difference between playing for match sticks and $10 on the table. That's not the same thing at all, and it's not even close for that matter. I don't know how the 45 days thing came up(Is that some sort of a Party Poker time limit?), but regardless, with a month and a half of someone who's bright playing for small money and maybe brushing up on some book info at the same time, yeah I'd say that could make a huge difference in his play. I'm assuming of course that the player isn't a totally unrepentant fool.

Also, just because someone might be fairly inexperienced doesn't make them a "fish". Idiots in poker come in all experience levels and ages from what I've seen in person and on-line.

As for PP offering the lower limit and buy-ins, I think this is a directly competitive idea related to Ultimate Bet which runs those same limits/buy-ins. If it means more players, then it's probably a very good thing for the game. More players at any limit on-line means more players at $3/6 or $4/8 the next time you go to your favorite card room. I also think it might come in handy for a player who's involved in a tournament but who wants a 2nd game to play at the same time. For me, if it's a tournament I'm taking seriously, I'm not going to want to open up a side table where I've got $100 out there, but I'd gladly open up one where I've got $10 out there. So they've got use.

I don't know about that. Pacific Poker has microlimits and that doesn't seem to have resulted in a bunch of rocks at the .5/1 games there...

Or you could open an account at a site with smaller limits.
