Prove it. With facts, figures, whatever. Not flawed and incomplete logic, hearsay or US-centric bias. I'm serious. I am convinced that the "difficulty" of Stars (and FT, to a lesser extent), coupled with the "fishiness" of the US-unfriendly sites, is the biggest and possibly most misleading myth in online poker.
That's quite a task and honestly I don't know what facts and figures it would take to prove it, nor am I really interested in going through the effort. I'm just going by the fact that in the hands posted by Pokerstars/FullTilt players they are put to much more difficult decisions in fairly common situations than I see. And that the vast majority of the online community believes this to be so.
