Default WHY GOD WHY

The world has ended as we know it.... why in the world would party break away from the skins??? Why God why? Good bye rakeback, I'll miss you in the 10-20 short handed gold mine of a game. The only solution to this is getting tanked off of my ass tonight.

I feel your pain. Nothing like seeing your hourly number drop by 15+%.

Now the Q is what other sites with rakeback have decent stud games? I'm seeing decent offers for pokerroom, prima, crypto. Anyone play any of these? Any stud games go on these higher than 3/6?

Ha ha. "Prima", "Stud" and "3/6" in the same sentence. That's good. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Stay away from Prima, there's RARELY a game over .5/1 there. It sucks.

Not sure about the others. I personally play on the Boss Network. It's mostly 1/2-3/6, but depending on the time(usually peak european time) there's a good 5/10 or 30/60 game going that can be juicy. I was in a 5/10 game with 82% seeing 4th which was just S-E-X.

I used to play on Sporting Bet on that network, but I jumped to another skin, Fortune Poker where I get more unmentionables anyway . I only think one affiliate offers it ATM.

Pokerroom only occasionally has 3/6 or higher. I would say there is a 3/6 or 4/8 game running about 20-25% of the time. Prima never runs any limit stud game .5/1 or higher, but they have pretty high PL/NL stud running almost all the time. Occasionally they have super high PL/NL stud as well.

Party created a new gaming platform. I believe their intent is to merge all their casino games and poker into a single client (for now you can only play blackjack). Anyway, the skins are still on the old platform so players are no longer shared between party and the skins (note: skins still share players).

Ah that explains it.

I played on Party and many of the skin tables were missing.

Therefore we are assuming the skin tables just got tougher?

Not totally true of course, but I imagine a large, large number of skin players were actually grinders who wanted RB, so I think it's trimming the fat to say the least.

Problem is I need at least ten beers to forget about this, but haven’t even got one.

Guess I’ll just have to learn to play poker then…
