Default Re: The day the music died?

The only 55 I played on Empire yesterday after the switch had one player with a VPIP over 30% in the first three levels. I think six were what I consider rocks. Playing on Party though, my screen lit up with red and orange Poker Ace numbers: VPIP's over 50% and 35%, with multiple players per table PFR over 20%. Small sample size, sure, but that observation is worth something. I'll take a closer look at it as soon as I'm done 6-tabling the 1/2 beginner tables at Party. It has to even out eventually, with everyone's ROI something like 2.5% lower whether it's from lack of rakeback or concentration of the better players.

What percentage of players in PP SNGs were playing from a skin for rakeback (last week)?

Forgive me for stating the obvious but EVERYONE needs to email their rakeback affiliate just to make sure they are aware that you will be jumping ship and all their rakeback business will go away. Then they will talk to the skins and make sure the skins know the same. Sometimes the obvious is not so obvious (the skins may not be aware what a complete total disaster this is for them).

I don't really understand all the crying.

So-- you move from approx. 29% RB at Empire to 24.5% at Party. It's not that big of a deal. RB is just icing anyway--- a free bonus that shouldn't even be figured into your ROI and hourly wage.

The only thing that sucks is that I have to play exclusively at Party now.... I was really happy with the support and service at Empire--- Royal Flush Club, etc... Hopefully Party will step up and start appreciating their players.

I dunno what I think yet, we'll have to see (currently on stars).

It seems to me though that mostly everyone is just freaking out about rakeback? Like bad_egg said, its just iceing.

I understand that some do affiliate work, sorry about that.

Some are saying they're moving to PokerRoom. Well, they have a whole friggin' casino, and LESS players. I don't really understand what you're doing there.

I can't really say I honestly believe it, but Im sure party will grow back just on its own. I doubt many will really play blackjack (just like pokerroom, no one plays it), it wont get big, and I doubt it'll kill the fish. People like poker.

I kinda like the idea of having 10 tables, also just being on one site. I don't really like the sidebets, but hey, it could really all work out.

Just relax.

Everyone needs to just sit back for 1-2 days until everything gets worked out.
