Re: Why there will never be a rake war (longwinded)
[ QUOTE ]
What Potty and UB did recently was NOT good for volume players. I got bit by both.

That is exactly my point.... Party and UB were getting destroyed by Empire and Pokershare, so Party and UB nuked them into oblivion.
Empire and Pokershare were rewarding knowledgable high volume players with better rewards (ie lower net rake), the larger rooms threatened by this had to act, and acted swiftly and decisively!
Unfortunately for Party (the market leader with 50% share), they can't use the same tactics against Absolute, Prima and Crypto. [This is good for the players]
Should Party buyout Empire AND replace their own marketing dept with Empire's, watch out as they will then have the knowledge to really damage the other rooms, and shorten the war (short term good for players, long term probably not).
