Message: [QUOTE="franken222, post: 6221004, member: 416383"] I still love the game, and enjoy playing. I've played for many years, but I find, now, that some of the sites, like PokerStars, have lost much of their focus, and have become very gimmicky. PokerStars is a great example: Instead of rewards, they now use the "Rewards" as a way to get you to spend more money, not for rewarding how well you play, or your results. I don't see much point, now, in giving them money, just so that you can open a chest, that tells you to bet on sports, so that you can get a free bet. What's that got to do with poker? The same applies to their challenge windows. They're now connecting poker "challenges" with sports betting. It's also much the same at Party Poker It's very distracting, and if you're really into poker, it's a real non motivator. [/QUOTE]
