Re: decimation of internet poker
Very depressing. I've been using rakeback for motivation to move up limits and recently moved up to the $100 tables. But I would rather play on a busy network so off to Party I will go. Also I cant get on Multipoker [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img], half of my roll is on there.

Re: decimation of internet poker
Yes. this sucks. althouh it might work out as it'll give me more motivation to keep working on my game so i can beat the bigger NL games and not have to worry about no rakeback.
would be nice if they had some tourneys today too. |

Re: decimation of internet poker
I guess I didn't realize how lucrative this whole rakeback thing was for many. This won't affect me at all. I play mainly on partypoker and it has been a very good side income for me for the last year.
with that being said how is this the decimation of online poker? im sure many pros who make a living off rakeback will be affected, but for guys like me and many others life goes on.... |

Overreaction. Only people hugely affected today imo are mediocre to bad multi-tablers.

I will lose 30k because of rakeback. That is nothing to sneeze at. I am not going broke because of this but I am losing a lot of money. |

[/ QUOTE ] Well, the main reason I can't relate is that I moved up from 1/2 to 15/30 pretty fast without getting rakeback. There was some period of time when I played 10/20-6 and got rakeback and it was nice, but I never made much at all from rakeback, in terms of percentage of earn. Sure, it was extra money and nice, but never was a signficant part of what I made from poker. I understand that it is a big deal for players like you. However, my point is that it is only a "DEVASTATING OMFG INTERNET POKER IS OVER" type event for the poor/mediocre guys. |
