if rakeback is so important how come PokerStars is a major player?

[MicroBob]

except that their $100 still probably last longer at Party in the first place.

they don't analyze the rake. the players are generally worse at party.
there is also something to be said for brand-loyalty.

your posts make it seem like the average fish actually cares about rake-structure...which they don't.


To imply that so many of these party players are going to look at other sites, and when they see what they're missing will NEVER return to party, is incorrect.

They'll go to the other site, and if they win they'll stay because the 'cards run better for them there'. If they lose at the other site, they'll return to party, because more fish at party playing bad hands helps everyone feel like they have a chance to win.
