PartyPoker High Stakes - New $10/$20 table for "Casual" Cash Game players
In 2012, Partypoker decided to ditch all of it's high stakes tables, and this May, they have introduced so called "Casual" Cash Games. Players playing on these tables are limited to playing only one cash game table, to purpose of which is to "protect" recreational players from multitabling grinders. Now they are extending the format to levels up to $0.50/$1, aswell as a $10/$20 game.
The special tables are indicated with a smiley face icon in the lobby, and according to a press release: "The Player's response to the trial exceeded all expectations and the primary goal of the Casual Cash Games format - to tailor an experience for people looking for a more relaxed and entertaining poker game experience - has been met."
After removing all the high stakes cash games from their offering in July 2012 (the highest stake left was $5/$10), now they have decided that the "needs of the hitherto under-served group of recreational high-stakes players" need to be taken care of with a Casual Cash Game table, with $10/$20 stakes.
The games are expected to expand into the nationally regulated poker rooms that Partypoker has later this year, but it's quite questionable whether the model can survive in the long run, since as many players point out on the forums, high stakes recreational players play because they want action and often play on multiple tables themselves.
