We reported on Tuesday that PokerStars had announced some changes to its cash game buy-in rules. The site is to introduce 3 different buy-in levels:

  • 20bb - 50bb tables, default buy-in of 40bb
  • 40bb - 100bb tables, default buy-in of 80bb
  • 100bb - 250bb tables, default buy-in of 200bb and ante equal to 20% of the Big Blind

The changes follow similar alterations made by Full Tilt Poker who also increased the minimum buy-in for their standard cash game tables.

Whether or not you are a cash game player, we would like to know your opinion of these modifications. So please tell us, what do you think of the PokerStars buy-in changes?
