2plus2 campaign to blockade Pokerstars

[GaF]

I notice that 2plus2 players are intending to blockade pokerstars cash tables from 5pm GMT today (going forward indefinitely) by sitting out at tables and stopping games taking place - in protest at stars moving VPP attribution from dealt to weighted contributed. I wonder how big an impact they might have, and how big an impact stars will let them have (they surely have it in their powers to stop any such protest, for example, by temp banning anyone they see blocking multiple tables - e.g. maybe initially 24 hours, then 7 days for a second offence and a month for a third offence). If you can get a game, may actually be a perfect time to play, whilst all the 2+2 grinding sharks are not playing....

Re: 2plus2 campaign to blockade Pokerstars There are 10 million fish who don't have the 1st idea who 2+2 are. The recreational players will simply move to new tables as stars open them. If that is too hard they will just play Stts. Stars wont give a stuff. Daleroxxu posted on his blog about the changes in the vpp system and put it well. 99% of the noise comes from 1% of the players
