    Default Is madness really mad anymore?

    I have noticed that the maniacal play so prevalent in madness (the Stars nightly $10 rebuy) during the rebuy hour has decreased quite a bit. My sample size isn't big enough, but I know that they have actually not hit their guarantee within the last week and the reason isn't a lack of players, it's a lack of rebuys.

    Thoughts?

    I haven't been playing as often, so the prize pool went down.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    wow I haven't played the late one in a while, this is shocking. I have never seen a stars tourney not hit the guarantee.

    No one gambles anymore in the rebuys

    Maybe the Annette ban has something to do with it (blind allins are no longer allowed).

    Annette_15 got banned a month ago because she agreed to a blind allin (which is against the rules apparently but everyone did it anyway).

    well - you are still allowed to go all-in you jsut can't say "everyone all-in next hand".

    I am not so sure that people are not gambling as much anymore is a bad thing... just an another adjustment.
