Yeah, that is sad news...

Clear all
all good 
let's post the graphs for the year:
no antes
antes
total hands: 162669
total $EV: $2456
not counted is some small sample and profit elsewhere, such as partypoker.
we can compare that to 2019 numbers: 239473 hands, $2279 EV
that doesn't really mean much, but it's interesting to look at.
no goals for 2021
Very nice graphs!
You seem to have done better with antes -- perhaps because the initial pots are bigger?
...wishing you the very best for a peaceful, prosperous 2021,
VS
RIP antes. more rake is better

EVBB was lower with antes, but that's all within variance, so winrate seemed to be similar.
i've sorta retired for a while (especially from stars) due to work reasons 
so, this arrived in my inbox:
maybe i've finally been considered to be retired enough, or some pokerstars employee read my constant complaints about never getting one? ♦
the message says that the timer is already running i don't exactly have a lot of time to spare these days, but i'll give it a shot.
that is 40% rakeback -- if that isn't the best in the business I would be surprised.
Best of luck!
keeping up 4k hands per day. teaching the new regs some respect
good hand to call, we lose to Qx+ sometimes though

villain is way out of line here, not the best hand choice and my range is not as capped as he thinks - he's also repping very narrow, most people will only consider betting for this size with 99,Q9 exactly
