Default Re: Gaming Club Poker -- some positives and some negatives

[ QUOTE ]
Raked hands calculation was my biggest negative with the GC site and this is probably a Prima issue too. I am used to the counting a player IN for a raked hand if he is dealt in. Thats how Stars, Paradise, UB, Party(etc) and True calculate it. I had specifically NOT signed up at WSEX because of their way of counting only "contributed" hands. (too tight pre-flop, too tight pre-flop, yes, I know) Well, obviously now we know that GC uses some method of "contributed to the pot" calculation to count a player in for a raked hand. I personally hate this method, and will not play at another site that uses it.

Personally I like this kind of counting of raked hands better than the ordinary one. But I would like it even more if the winner of the hand was the only one getting counted for raked hands.
The reason for this is that it would (depending on a reward for number of raked hands) encourage more 'loose' plays (Some players don't need much of an excuse to stay in a little longer).
Now even if the tight players don't like this much, we all know that fish filled waters are bound to bring in lots of sharks and sharks wannabees.

If you are a Bonus Whore, it doesent matter much how long it takes to finnish the bonus as long as the games are good.
