I wouldn't be surprised if Party offered an alternative to rakeback through some sort of internal offer.

I would. They seem to do everything in their power NOT to regain the players they lost to the skins. Party currently has a golden opportunity to get all those players back home in one big swoop but seems to drop the ball once again.

Maybe Party takes the "No to Rakeback"-stance just to see how many former players will return anyway. I for one will not fall for this dirty little trick no matter how juicy the games may be. Not a chance. I hope other players don't fall for this trick either.

The non-rakeback affiliate site that once made an unsuspecting newbie (me) click their link to Party some 3.5 years ago will NOT get my $3K comission every month, doing nothing, while I work my ass off at the tables. Fat chance.

There are perfectly good tables to multitable at other sides (with or without rakeback) for a couple of weeks/months until Partys executives gets sober again.

They don't have to. Have you seen the player counts on Party the pasts couple of days? By the end of the week it will be over 70,000 again.

The quality of Party's games as compared to other sites is overrated.

Yup. That's what the shills constantly say and want us to believe.

I think it will stay high for a few more days because people are still clearing their bonuses. After that, who knows? I don't think it will become a ghost town, but I could see the numbers dropping. After being rudely removed from the teat of rakeback, it's a good time for some of us to explore other places. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Yes, because Party Poker needs shills to promote its product.

I nominate this for stupidest post of the day.

If you believe shills don't frequent pokerforums I nominate you the most naive person of the year.
