Chadders is running for representative in the upcoming 2p2 PokerStars Meetings.
PokerStars flies a few reps out every so often to spend a few days at their Isle of Man headquarters and to talk about how to improve the games. In the past, heads up sit and gos have unsurprisingly been mostly ignored, so it is important that we get a heads up sit and go rep in there. Even though Chadders will cover other games than just heads up sit and gos, he will obviously do a very good job on the heads up portion for us, relaying our major concerns and needs to PokerStars.
If Chadders wins he will be gathering feedback to put together from several communities, including the heads up sng community. More info is in the thread.
Just to add to this:
- Only users registered on 2p2 before March 12th can vote, so if you haven't heard of 2p2, definitely check out the heads up sng forum on 2p2 (which we sponsor), but don't vote unless you were already aware of 2p2 prior to this thread. This thread is purely to notify 2p2 users, since many 2p2ers spend time on our site or rotate time back and forth and may not have seen the 2p2 heads up sng thread about this.
- Despite reps being aware of the HUSNG major issues, we've been passed over previously. Smaller games that pay less rake and have less interest from all types of players have been brought up, but HUSNGs have not. This is the sad reality, the result from a combination of ignorance on the specifics of HUSNGs and a lack of open mindnedness or engagement to the community.
- If Chadders does win, he will actually show other communities some respect in representation.
Is it appropriate at this moment to start a thread discussing the major issues that people would like raised with Pokerstars? I am new to the community but i'd be very interested in what everyone thinks/wants and where they would like HUSNGs to go/develop on Pokerstars ...
Good post and welcome. Assuming Chadders wins a slot (polls just closed and it seems this is the case, but not 100% confirmed, I think the mods have to go through the vote totals and add up manual votes and check for shills/users that did not qualify), I think there will be a thread in the 2p2 Heads Up SNG forum going over the issues. Since he's just supposed to be a 2p2 rep, it may not be appropriate for us to have a thread here as well, I'm not quite sure on that yet.
But we can just have the discussion on 2p2, it is no problem, and we can all try to reach a consensus on issues we want Chadders to bring up.
