Changing the Rules



As the foremost critic of Internet poker on the planet I get a lot of attention. And the result is often like this shooting themselves in the foot. For twenty plus years the new player buy in has been 2000 chips. And now magically it's 999. You got that right 999. Not 1000.

You see, this number is perfect for running 500 chip buy in games where AI can mindlessly raise and someone with real talent won't accidentally stumble upon the table. Newbies stumble. They only have 499 chips left. Grrrr. Can't play another of those.

And it's not like the log in screen posts some friendly message about a upgrade.
