Stars 75/150
What's the deal with this game being restricted? I emailed support about being allowed to play in it, and they asked me to give them my phone number, which I did. They didn't call me after a few days and i emailed them again, and said they would call me shortly. Its been a few days.
Anyone know what's the deal? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] |

They are going to give you a little lecture on the dangers of high limit poker.

The 10/20 game was restricted when it first started. |

Re: Stars 75/150
i dont see why they'd restrict this game....
maybe because O8B attracts soooooo many gablers? |

Re: Stars 75/150
It is because high limit omaha high-low attracts more collusion than any other game. The extra card knowledge makes this game very profitable to colluders. Imagine knowing that your king high flush is good, or that a higher full house than yours is impossible in certain situations, or many other scenarios.

Re: Stars 75/150
They don't do it for collusion-protection, though your points are valid (these issues apply more to big bet games).
It's simply Pokerstars policy to restrict all high limit games (above 30/60, I believe). The obvious reason is fear of bad players tilting off a roll they'd slowly lose, with rake, at lower limits. |
