Hi,

Ive been playing poker for over two years now. During this time Ive been playing exclusively at Pokerstars only. Even though everyone keeps saying that games at Pokerstars are alot harder than other sites I'm still a loyal customer to PokerStars. Last year Ive acquired over 800k VPP so it wouldn't be an exaggeration if we say that I'm among your most valuable customers.
All that being said I want to request as one of your most loyal players that starting July1st 2008 I don't have to post blinds while Im playing cash games.

Regards,
Sina

Hello Sina,

Thank you for your email.

I am afraid that we would be unable to accommodate your request as such.
Let me provide you with a brief explanation that I hope will clarify the
concept of game blinds to you. SB stands for Small Blind; BB for Big Blind.

Games begin with some forced wager over which players compete. In any
poker game, the pot needs to be started with an amount of money. If there
was no money in the game to start, there'd be no incentive to play. A
blind bet is a forced bet that must be made by a player before he even
sees his cards.

The player to the left of the dealer places the small blind into the pot.
The player to the left of the small blind (two places to the left of the
dealer) places the big blind into the pot. Both of these blind bets are
mandatory, and are made before the cards are even dealt. The big blind is
equal to the fixed betting limit for the first round. The size of the
small blind is half of the big blind.

Please refer to the following link for a general description of rules and
basic concepts of our games here at PokerStars:

Those rules apply to all our customers, thus we are unable to make
exceptions to those rules. Let me know in case you need further
assistance.

Regards,

Juan

lol, i bet you didn't understand the rules after playing probably millions of hands.

but you were lying, i know that you played on FTP until you had enough of their rigidness.

money won is twice as sweet as money earned.
