Cryptologic Speed

[Subby]

Okay, I am fairly new at this, but I am still struck by the ridiculously slow speed of the Cryptologic/Wagerlogic network. It seems like it would be in their best interest to improve game speed (more hands dealt per hour=more rake taken by them using their borderline criminal rake structure).

Anyone else struck by this? The Party network seems faster as does most other sites I have tried. I have to double-track PT, but I think I was getting all of 40 hands an hour last night at Inter.

And thank god that half their bonuses are based on time instead of hands.

Their software/site is slower than most, but actually the BIGGEST problem by far is the players who are playing time bonuses, and take an eternity to make every single decision, just to minimize the number of hands they need to play.

When you don't have any players like that at your table, you can get 50-60 hands/hour - not great, but certainly manageable. Sadly, those tables are hard to find. It is quite frustrating when you get 2 or 3 of those players at your table.... seriously, I play bonuses to ADD to my income stream. I generally don't enjoy playing at the Cryptologic sites solely because I can easily make more playing at other sites, just getting the extra hands in, since it seems like most tables have at least one of these players this time of the month.
