Default Re: is there a way to get rakeback on party?

[ QUOTE ]
doesn't it seem like there is a flaw in the logic here?

by myself I pay over $8k a month in rake. I'm sure I cover atleast a couple fish.

ultimately losing players lose, poker rooms make money, and winning players make money. Therefore losing players pay for everything

sorry, you can't just throw the word "therefore" in and assume you've made a proof. The truth is, the more you play poker the more the site makes off of you. Fish are important because they generate more traffic on the site. The majority of players/hour are fish => that party makes most of its money off of fish. But sharks definitely add a great deal of money.

Do you people not understand what the word "ultimately" means?

ultimately adv
1: as the end result of a succession or process
2: after everything has been considered

The FINAL RESULT is that losing players lose, poker sites make money, and winning players make money. THEREFORE, ultimately, losing players pay for everything. This is correct.
