I am withdrawing as I speak.
Players must use their buying power to make the poker rooms understand that fcuking us over is not to their benefit.

It all evens out. Rake increase, no 2+2 players there.

No

I actually picked this up a few days ago when one pot I was in was raked $0.80.

I took the $1000-bonus at powerplayer some two weeks ago. I won't be finishing it, still have 8500 points to go. But I guess I'll not even breakeven with this structure since I play $2/4.

I urge everyone that really has withdrawn their money to email the managers and tell them the reason for the withdrawl.

5. The new, more dramatic cut-off point in paid rake can unfortunately lead to certain pots being raked around 9-10%. Do note however that these are extreme situations that only occur when a pot reaches a certain, exact size.

But you are willing to leave it this way regardless?

Players aren't stupid. We realize that with the huge percentage gains of players at all the major sites that revenue has risen dramatically and profits have increased equally.

This being so, there is no reason to 'tax' players with higher rakes when in fact rakes should be decreasing to reflect the larger player base and increasing revenue and profits being realized by all the major sites.

To be finding ways to increase your revenues further at this point in time clearly shows what the future holds for players. It is not a good future. It will push us to seek alternative sites that will offer us fee based play instead of single game raked play.

For the good of your site you need to shift your strategy to increase revenue in other ways, not to tax the player further through increased rakes.

I was actually thinking about trying pokerroom out until this came up, and I play NL.

It appears that 5/10 and above are unchanged. This only seems to effect the smaller limits.

The point is the principle and the overall picture, If you were living in a country where all the people without a last name starting with the same letter as yours had to pay double taxes would you think it was ok?

Besides, if they get away with something like this, then those limits will be next, trust me.
