Pokerstars addresses short stacking & rat holers.

April 15th, 2010

It seems that Pokerstars has finally listened to the requests of its players and have implimented some changes to their system.

New Changes include:
New Shallow Tables for Cash games that allow a minimum buyin of 20x the big blind and a maximum of 50x the big blind.
Regular Tables now have a minimum buyin of 40x the big blind and a maximum of 100x the big blind.
Deep Tables that have a minimum buyin of 100x the big blind and a maximum of 250x the big blind that also include an Ante of 20% of the big blind.

I’m extremely happy about these changes as I basically avoided pokerstars cash games because it was near impossible to find open tables that didn’t have at least 3 players short stacking and rat holing.

More of the changes are explained in detail here.
