I'm withdrawing all my money from your site.

Example:
pot $23 -> rake $0.8
pot $24 -> rake $2.0

How can you say shiiiit like that with a straight face, you punk?

yeah this is retarded

The bottom line is your average rake per $2/4 LHE hand has increased.

My withdrawl has already hit my Neteller account.

No great loss, lots of other places to play.

What is even worse than this is,

1) You did it right as you did your first reload bonus in five months.

2) You have yet to change the information on Rake in the easist to access place. Two clicks of the mouse, as opposed to having to find the FAQ.

PokerRoom was always a favourite of mine.

It was my first site when I was eeking it out and learning the game at your .25/.50 tables. I continue to play at your site from time to time and actually enjoy the software.

I predominantly play between 2/4 and 5/10 with some SnGs and MTTs thrown in for good measure.

Effective today I will be closing my account.

Another customer lost here.

I won't be going back to PokerRoom.

Let this be a warning to any other sites that are stupid enough to think that raising the rake is a good idea.

Hopefully it will be a freakin ghost town.

[Siingo]

Im afraid that it wont be a ghosttown right away. It is not that many that acctually read about the rake.

The first months will they probably win more even if they loose some of there high volume players. But the rumour will probably scare the players away later. And other players will notice that they loose money faster there and leave.

But it will take some time....

[stir]

Just another of many stating that I will no longer play at Pokerrom. Further I will inform some of my acquaintances who don't regularly read 2+2 zoo.....greener pastures.

OMFG. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

The new rake structure actually causes the net pot size to FALL as money goes into the pot. This is asinine, and you will never be able to convince anybody that you did "extensive analysis" on this beforehand. A bright sixth-grader could have spotted the flaw here.

"The overall drop in player points received is an effect we did not anticipate, intend nor did it surface during our extensive analysis"

Wow you guys got really lucky then.
Managed to increase the rake while
making bonuses harder to clear BY ACCIDENT!
... all during a reload. I played there till today.
