Re: This will turn out to be a good thing for us
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] It's great for me... I play on Party and earn 0% rakeback and make my poker money the traditional by winning it. Less multi-tabling TAG on skins = thousands more $ in my pocket. [/ QUOTE ] You realize that you would already have thousands more in your pocket if you had rakeback right? But, uh, you go on being "pure" or whatever, good for you... [/ QUOTE ] Yeah I hear you... I set up all my accounts before rakeback existed though.

party is clearly making a good business move here, but if they offered a better rakeback/bonus system it would be checkmate on the poker world. i dont get it. [/ QUOTE ] I concur...

I think this will make things better 6-12 months from now. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for the reply. I wish I could find a way to believe that "market dynamics" of where Party fish / TAGs / etc. play is somehow going to make up for the guaranteed +0.25 to +1.5 BBs/100 that rkbck used to provide (depending on limit). I just can't figure out a realitistic but optimistic scenario where it would. Not the end of poker as we know it I know, but IMO it's a little drop-off from the peak profitability we were enjoying.

[/ QUOTE ] seriously, if party had 25% rb they would just lock up all of 2p2 right now... everyone would be playing there. +EV for party, since right now tons of people are looking elsewhere. maybe up it to 30% if you played a ton of hands. mike, why is party not doing this? makes no sense.

Re: This will turn out to be a good thing for us
I've always continued to devote part of my play to Party even though I also play the skins and other sites.
Mostly on the Jackpot tables because they were only available through Party and they were by far the most fishy. Now maybe the rest of party will be as fishy, but clearly my monthly RB payments will be smaller but do I have any choise but to adapt.

[/ QUOTE ] one thing to consider. party is a pain in the gravypouch to get a new account with. now that they have zero incentive to allow someone to set up a new account, it will be even harder. in other words, find a new idenity to set up a new account for possible rakeback on party.
