Back to cash games

For the first four years of my online poker career, I played cash games exclusively. I swore off them when I became a specialist at tournaments. I found many things I liked about tournament poker, and quite a few things I disliked about cash games. I thought I'd never go back to cash games, but now I find I must. I love poker too much ever to give it up, but I have certain requirements which must be met for me to play. First and foremost, I require 6max. As I've mentioned before, PokerStars recently reduced its 6max tournament offerings drastically. My next requirement is that I refuse to play against superdonks. That means that rebuy/re-entry tournaments are out. Lately, PokerStars has only offered tournaments which allow unlimited re-entries during the late registration period. The practical upshot of these changes is that unless and until PokerStars brings back 6max no-re-entry tournaments, I can't play tournaments on PokerStars. That leaves sit and gos and cash games. I long ago swore off sit and gos since the increased entry fees made them unprofitable for me. So the only thing left is cash games. I'm actually kind of looking forward to them :-)
