This guy will be pelted to death with some small, hard objects before he reaches his 10,000th post. Just a prediction.

I'm not dependent on rakeback, but it makes a big difference. I estimate I can make ~120k a year playing poker, and about 30k of that is rakeback. That's a lot of cash.

Sorry Daryn we can't all play 100/200.

Same here. People make it sound like rakeback is only seriously benefitting people who really suck. Well, thanks to the awesome new $3 6 max rake, my last clump of 5/10 6 max hands is about $10,000 each in profit and rakeback. With 30% rakeback, I take nearly 2/3 of the money that I pull out of circulation. Without rakeback, Empire and I split it 50/50.

So everyone stop with the condescending [censored] bullshit like rakeback only matters to fish. 3k a month in rakeback is the mortgage on a nice [censored] house.

I have good friends whose livelihoods and families depend on other players earning rakeback. It's a full time job for them to do this and they put in a honest day's work doing it.

I sure hope you don't ever get [censored] over on your job when you have a family and huge bills to pay.

they sure provide a valuable service to society....

if i had a family and kids i sure as hell wouldnt plan on only supporting them with poker and bonuses to the point where losing rakeback could put them in trouble.
