the rake in poker

I just had what I think is a great idea. Instead of charging the upfront fee, everyone has to pay rake equal to that of party until they've paid their 30 for that month. That way the fish will still come, and the site makes just as much money, and we realize how much better of a deal it is. Maybe include an option to pay it all up front as well.

This has already been mentioned, and I've even emailed them about this. They arn't going to do it tho.

Having players earn their first membership is something we have and are
continuing to consider, and may be something we implement in the near
future.

Maybe now that a few people have emailed them about it they're changing their mind

Obviously I am kidding (or am I not), but isn't this what Dutchy Boy is pitching?

The whole essence of "saving players money" with less rake and using it as a marketing edge?

Although, conceptually this is quite obvious, it is also just as obvious that the other poker sites will adjust to maintain their customer base...or do some of you think they wouldn't?

If players could double their winnings by playing elsewhere simply with less rake...does anyone here think they wouldn't go?

I don't think reduced rakes for gaining a customer base is a bad idea, just wondering why Ray Zee is pitching it...obviously he is...the question is...what is this a primer for?

Someone sponsored that post...it makes absolutely no sense for RayZee to come out of left field with it...and still no elaboration on his part regarding it's initiation.

I know many people that drive farther for lower gas prices...especially when they have to fill up an SUV! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So if you have major expenses...seems like going to a lower raked casino with equal profit (i.e. same octane) is more profitable (more mileage for the money).

Of course if you live in a shack (drive a Pinto) and wear the same clothes every day (don't have air conditioning or heat and are willing to push your car when it breaks down)...then I guess it may not matter much to you! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So in otherwords what you're saying is you have no idea how much you pay in rake......just as I suspected

Random insults always have a good rhetorical punch, but luck a little in convincing detail.

That wasn't a radom insult. It wasnt even an insult at all, it was mearly a statement of fact

I guess not only do you need education on how much you pay in rake, but also on what an insult is. (hint: now I'm being insulting)

He did, either you missed it or you don't believe it.

Actually
after checking out the site
players have an option, the can either buy a membership or just play but pay rake as they go.
