Not that it really matters, I think any new site is doomed to failure unless someone comes up with something substancially different from whats out there already. I still think there will be a succesful rake free site in the future, I think zerorake had a shot at making it, but their marketing was non existant, and it was obvious whoever was in charge didnt know much about poker. I looked around at that holycow place. It seems waaaay to cheesy for me. Daisy the dancing cow?? Whos the idiot that came up with that marketing concept.

Re: Zerorake goes under...
Holy Cow Poker isn't a new stand alone site, it's a skin off the Action Poker Network. Like GoldenPalacePoker is a skin off the Apex Network (tribecca tables).
If we're being honest, Zero Rake didn't make it because players like us who read these type of forums didn't support it. I saw their ads at pokerpages, in cardplayer and the cp website. They definatley marketed the site. Although, if I'm not mistaken the site isn't totally closed. They just made a deal with HCP to host to freeroll. Instyle007

Id never heard of holycowpoker before so I assumed it was new. Still pretty lame marketing tho [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I for one supported zerorake. (I emptied my account a few weeks ago tho, due to lack of games). I disagree about their marketing tho. Having an ad in cardplayer and a little ass banner on the side of this page really doesnt count as advertising in my book. They could have done so much more, advertising BEFORE actually opening up their site would have been smart. Some props wouldnt have hurt either. If they changed the way the not paying of rake was handled into something more fish friendly, that would have been a huge boost. The ability to have private tables, or at least HU tables would have been a smart move. They would be THE site for anyone who just plays headsup. They never upgraded their software in the couple months they were live, even after several bugs were pointed out to them. yada yada, the list goes on.
