$ 180,000 ? ? ?
If I may ask . . .
How much are you up for the year ? Perhaps a better question would be what are/were your expectations or projections for the year ? * How much have you received in rake rebates ? * What limits do you typically play ? * Although I am very curious as to your responses - especially since the rake should not be costing more than half of your gross winnings - one thing doesn't change. The sites are living high off the hog while we scrounge for crumbs. But what is the alternative ? I have neither the desire, the capital nor the know-how to start my own site. Oh, and by the way, those crumbs are more than I, and probably many others, have ever or will ever earn - at least on an hourly basis. I posess no talents other than poker that allow me to sit in my den, watch TV, talk on the phone and earn what I earn playing online. Hell, I don't have very many talents that allow me to earn what I earn doing anything else anywhere. I have a job that I love that pays me far less than I want/need/deserve; well, maybe not less than I need but definitely less than I want. Poker fills the void and I enjoy it. * I remember back to when it cost 6% of the amount of the deposit to fund your acct. using a CC and not all the sites allowed you to "work off" this fee. Sign-up or re-up bonuses ? HA ! Surely you jest. Over time conditions improved. Party and the handful of other major players will not have it as good as they now do forever. The rake will drop; certainly not tomorrow, likely not this year and maybe not next but it will come down. I took only the core requirements in Economics but I learned enough to know that in business as in chemistry "nature abhors a vacuum". Given time the 5%, max. $3 rake will be something only the old folks remember. * A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOUSAND IN RAKE ? ? ? I have a few dollars sitting around; if you're looking for investors to help defray the cost of starting a site I might be interested. All I'd want in return would be the privelege of playing there rake-free forever. Best wishes, - Chris

Re: $ 180,000 ? ? ?
I play for a living.
Currently I am 8 tabling the 5-10 6 max or some combination of the 5-10 and 3-6 6 max games. Previously I was 12 tabling the 2-4 and 3-6 full games. As for what I have won for the year, that doesnt really matter. Yes, I am on a rakeback plan
