[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, that's what's happened so far. I'm not sure if I should mention to Lee that I'm a 2+2er. ;-) [/ QUOTE ] If you're serious, then I can't understand why you're posting about this here. You realize that he reads this forum, right?

Re: Pokerstars $100/$200
[ QUOTE ]
What is Pokerstars' reason for this policy? Other sites (UB, Prima) don't place any restrictions on their big games do they? [/ QUOTE ] You're correct that other sites don't do that. But at PokerStars, we believe in personal customer service. There are a few reasons that we want to talk to players before they go into that game: 1. A $100-200 played short-handed (as it often is) at Internet speeds (100+ hands/hour) is a big game. When we first spread it, we'd get emails from people that said "I lost $15K in three hours; I must have been cheated." We want to make sure they understand that. 2. It's a filter (albeit a light one) to make sure we don't get trouble in the game. If I get a bad feeling about the player, I don't put them in. 3. It gives me a chance to personally say thank you to folks playing in our flagship game. Most players really appreciate the personal touch and I enjoy the conversations. Contrary to what some people think, I am not trying to keep the fish out of the game. I don't ask anybody if he's a good player. I don't quiz them on their poker experience. I simply say "Are you comfortable playing for those stakes?" In fact, I routinely get people saying "Oh yeah, I'll crush those guys when I get there." They usually get clobbered. Sometimes people say "You know what - I just wanna take $2K and see if I can catch lightning in a bottle. I'm probably drawing dead, but I want to give it a shot." I say "Great" and put 'em in. Is the game tough? For sure, sometimes it is. I seriously doubt it's the toughest regularly scheduled limit hold'em game in the world. There are times when I wish I could play in it (and anything bigger than $50-100 makes me nervous). Best regards, Lee Jones PokerStars Poker Room Manager

Re: Pokerstars $100/$200
I'd be tempted to email them about it. Not that I have the skill, or the money to play in that game, but a personal call from Lee would be really really cool. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
*slobber slobber* Yes, I know -- I need to get a life. Added after seeing a reminder that Lee reads this board: Not that I'd ever do a thing like that. --Polly
