theory on Pacific \'fishyness\'
I moved this from an earlier reply to maybe get a disscussion going.
ok, here's another angle....Pacific, as noted earlier, is not big on giving bonuses like Absolute, Party, etc. But just suppose they have a theory of throwing that money into the games (i.e. preflop prop players) instead? Lets face it, those who play there are there because the games are so juicy, not for any bonus. Tossing some small house money into hands preflop may actually be a more productive way for them to keep the site attractive. In fact it may be a much better inducment to play there than the 20% deposit bonus which leads to rock gardens (absolute). Say you have ten players on a table who got there with a 20% deposit bonus on a $100 deposit. Thats $200 the site has thrown out to the players. Instead of that, why not take that $200 and throw it out on the tables in a game pre flop to encourage a 'run with the pack' playing style. Have your props play under certain guidelines; a raise from blinds (especially SB) if you have at least 4 limpers; they will always call it. On a 2/4 table thats a $2 investment to bring at least another another $8 onto the table. It encourages wilder action which inflates rakes much better than a rock garden will. It almost makes too much sense. |
