Poker players - direct action

Pokerstars and regulars are therefore competing against one another for their share of the player funds (deposits). If regulars cease playing, then pokerstars will earn a greater proportion of the deposits.

that makes sense.
But on the other hand - do they get rake fast enought just from fish? They will eventually get all their deposits. The question is $/hour.
Fish will not star to multitable. So $ / hour will not be as high.

Also - if fish does not loose, he might cashout and go to spend on another thing. So nor poker room, neither reg will see this money. Some bar or night club will see his money.

But if regs win too fast, then games stop, because regs do not play when no fish. So part of time 0$ /hour, till the fish get salary again and are playing again.

I think - poker room has to find some max ev line. Not reducing too much regs - too keep high volume. Not reducing too much fish - to keep regs making high volume. Probably its their GTO

I guess they have to do smth like this:

I can see what you're saying, however, my gut feel is that the slower rate at which pokerstars will earn rake (in the short term) will more than be made up for in the longer term by more recreational players playing more in the longer term. A recreational player who is constantly depositing and being wiped out will play a lot less in the long term than a recreational player who isn't being insta wiped out every time he deposits.

From pokerstars perspective, taking a long term view (and a view of the two extremes), I would expect 1 table running with 6 recreational players to be more profitable than 6 tables running, where each table has 1 recreational player and 5 regulars.

by more recreational players playing more in the longer term.

I somehow doubt that. If the player like to gamble, I think he just plays even when he looses. Go to some sports bet shop or casino and just watch the players who bet on things which are not profitable, like dog racing , various games.

They loose on dogs betting but still have fun and bet. THey even talk, laugh, even undersand that they loose, but still bet for fun. I myself sometimes go to see how they think in those betting shops

What might leave the poker room - is those players who read strategy and still fail, like stay forever at NL5. They want to earn, or just do not waste time.
