I agree with brazilio. Tourney specialists could hijack the rake of cash game players. How is that fair? You could get unlucky and see a month's worth of rakeback go down the drain.

Also, calling this a freeroll is imprecise. This is a tourney where, in a sense, the entry fee is a player's rake, but unlike a real tourney, no one pays the same size entry fee. If you paid $1000 to enter a tourney and found out other people paid only $100 or $200, and had the same shot at the biggest cash prizes, you would be upset.

Doesn't Intertops have guaranteed $100 freerolls? I suggested to rtr that they run smaller freerolls like that. For every x $ in rake, you qualify for a freeroll. Say you generate $1000 in rake, you get to play in 10 $100 freerolls, for example. The more rake you generate, the more freerolls you can enter. At least then you would be playing other people who "paid" the same entry fee as you.

I don't see why rtr seems hung up on WSOP and big cash prizes for small numbers of people. Rakeback appeals to people who grind it out a little at a time.
