The opposite of rake back - Page 2

Every fish who signs on the Party thinks that he is the shark that will rake the money in. The news is basically that if you are winning the site charges you more. The fish says, this is a crooked unfair site, I don't want to sign up

Besides this, the fishyness of Party is vastly overrated. Many high volume players would earn as much on Prima and Crypto.

That is so true. It's amazing that more people don't realize this.

First of all, this would be impossible for the sites to implement. Second of all, why would they ever do this? It's not like your average recreational player is going to realize this and adjust accordingly.

this is one of the dumbest things I've read here

Do fish think they are fish? No.. they will think that they will get booted pretty soon then. Not smart.

A policy like that would be saying "Party, a place where you can't win"

I think the reach of 2+2 is a little over estimated. My guess is that < 5% of all online players study the game here and elsewhere. There are so very many unaware casual players anything like I described would remain under the radar for a huge percentage of the poker playing public.

Try this: A portion of the poker universe doesn't even understand English! 2+2 is not an option for them.

This is a great idea! Just think about how many people would love to play at a site where you can either lose your money, or have the site confiscate all your winnings!

The Full Tilt people really missed the boat, they could have really throw money at the site, offering tons of freerolls, LOWER RAKE or volume based rake discounts etc, instead they just went with the "me too" approach and the site is a barren wasteland.

I think a deep-pocketed investor could step in offering all the above along with solid *well coded* software and take a huge chunk of the market.

I wonder how much we would all have to pony up each as a Cooperative to take over a site that is already up and get it fired up and reeling in the fish, wouldn't that be interesting... maybe we could by shares in the Co-op or something based on our ability...

Just a thought
