It is in the essence of the human being, we all need to change or a change. This allows us to move forward and evolve. If players change poker rooms it is because they also have to change for the better not for the worse and that people abandon it.:help:Shells said:

I have it disabled on my PC - I have no time for that crap. I'm not sure if it slows the game down or not, to be honest, without it showing up on my screen, I don't know.

April 2019, he left PokerStars after 9 years with the company. It was a good run for him though I'm not sure what he's up to these days though he may have some involvement with GG Poker. Perhaps someone here who follows these things more closely than I do might know.

Or GGPoker, especially in light of PokerStars recently departing from China and Taiwan most notably. That's a HUGE player database gone, and those players will definitely take their play over to GGPoker, or some other site on that skin (Natural8 perhaps).
For someone like me who does not take note of which pro is representing poker stars except for (Daniel Negreanu <3) it does not make or break my decision to play there. One less troublesome oponent for me ?, maybe. All in all im just there to play poker.

In my opinion, PokerStars has made it pretty clear that they want to be known as an online Casino. They are pushing their profit margins as high as they can get away with, the problem is poker players will NOT come together as a community. This allows poker sites to do whatever they want. People try to prove a point and pay somewhere else, as soon as this happens, players think "ah, this is better EV for me, I will play with more recreational players.
I have been saddened by GG and Stars with some actions but they are a business and if they keep making profit, who can blame them??
That was definitely good for him if he play for his own money in pokerstars 😀 I review all my hands from last 2 days (i play a lot in ps), because i was unable to win no matter what i had. I checked hands and it seems that i lose 87% because the river card when i go all in, 68% of my higher pairs lose to lower pairs, and since now i will only play freerolls on ps. Never again deposit my own money here.
Yes. Few years ago it was really good pr, but now huge amount of players experience series of bad beats like they never get playing in different pr. In the end of the day if they have some issue with software or rng i hope that they solve it and again became one of the best pr.

I know this is an old post, but it made me laugh out loud. "Isle of Man, a jurisdiction known for its strict standards"... That is good. Very good. Is it also known for its strict taxation?! IoM is a tax dodge. Ireland? Luxembourg? Same.
Bristol.... a jurisdiction known for its posh accents...
London... a jurisdiction known for its considerate taxi drivers...
Liverpool... actually, screw that. I'm not offending anyone from Liverpool. Never again.

Exactly. In this world your company can only survive in a competitive marketplace by striving to be the best in every area they can be. Of course, if you have a monopoly on the market, that isn't really the case (e.g. cable/phone companies). However given poker sites/online casinos are abundant, you really have to work hard to stay afloat.
Planet, Paradise, party, stars, tilt, and all the rest of them. Ive seen em come and ive seen em go. mostly for the same reason. greed or government intervention. Its what kills them. But you asked for Regulation and you got what comes with it. deconstruction due to greed and control issues.
