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.

That is great, $1 goes into pot, Pokerroom takes $1.20. Amazing!

Whoever is doing their extensive analysis should be fired. This is the dumbest rake structure I have ever seen (not withstanding that it is high).

although you may discount or have no large net changes on rake at high stakes games, the sheer volume of low stakes games played generates the majority of dollars from rake. you may pass this under the guise of a 'rake redistibution' when in reality you just tax smaller games more to increase net revenues. your hopes is that since most low limit players are stupid so they won't really become infuriated with this greedy change because they will fail to understand its significance.

if i am wrong, please flame away

Players must use their buying power to make the poker rooms understand that fcuking us over is not to their benefit.

I was going to play here sometime this month. I'll tell my friends not to go to you, I'll even turn the MAC and GNU/Linux users onto Pacific and VMWare. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Mr. Pokerroom said this was an unseen effect that bonus points drop. Maybe they will change it unless it is just lip service.

I am in the same boat, 20% done towards a $200 bonus.
