Hi folks -

Q: "What are you going to do about short-stacking?"

A:Your concerns about short-stacking are not falling on deaf ears, and to be brutally honest, you know that. We had multiple hours of discussion about that topic during the last round of player meetings. In fact, during those meetings, Alex Wice framed the problem quite eloquently, showing that the issue shoves up against some fundamental precepts about how poker is played (e.g. "You can sit down whenever you want to", "You can stand up whenever you want to").

The point is that we had a lot of very smart, very experienced poker people in the room but even after hours of discussion, nobody could come up with a solution that didn't have major (or fatal) flaws.

We are still discussing it and understand that it's a very high priority for a segment of the community. And I promise you that if somebody out there comes up with an elegant bulletproof solution, we will snap-call it (and maybe hire you).

Unrelated: there were some delays in getting the new client out so we don't have RiT in Zoom yet. The current target is early next week.
