What's the deal with PokerStars O8 75/150 tables?

PokerStars restricts the 75/150 O8 tables. When I inquired their customer support said when you want to get qualified to play on one of those tables just email them and they will give you a telephone number to call and will ask you some questions first. Can anyone tell me what that's all about?

Just like the 100/200 Limit Hold Em tables. PS restricts them so the lesser bankrolled player doesn't light their money on fire completely. They want to keep you as a paying customer not one that goes broke playing a limit without sufficient funds.

I just got clearance for these tables on Monday. I emailed them a few weeks ago, and they finally just now called me. They just asked me if I was who I said I was and if I still wanted clearance, and then they gave it to me. No big deal.

I did have a friend who got clearance who got a call from Lee Jones personally and Lee gave him a speech about not going bust and stuff, but I talked to Sharon somethingorother and she just asked if I wanted clearance. It could be because my friend is a real high-roller on their site with a bunch of big tourney wins, I don't know.

Got clearance? GREAT NEWS. I usually railtard and its shocking how many bad players are in these games.

Knock em dead. I'll be watching from the rail.
