Since Black Friday the games have been way tougher because most American pro's continued playing on stars: either via vpn, or they relocated; while the millions of fish got shut out of the market.
If I was a non American, or a relocated American, who played high stakes mixed games and made bets with Stinger then I wouldn't pay him either. He's part of the problem, making the games artificially tougher than they should be, and essentially taking ev from players in an unethical way.
