I think it's a crap statement, and indicates either ignorance or an inability to develop the skills necessary to beat the Party games.

As far as developing skill--- I would take the best Party SNGers over the best Stars ones any day, in a Stars-structured SNG.

In Freakanomics there is a study of gangs and drug sales and very few of them make much money. Most of the gangster drug pushers ended up making like $3/hr.

Bleh... although I am still very +EV but I feel like I am getting ripped everytime I load up a set of SNGs or 4 tables NL cash sans rakeback. Also, I cancelled my party account 6 months ago and I am waiting to see if this new thing comes about before I get another [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] MTTs on stars have been a fun change of pace though...

I don't see what's stopping an affiliate from offering rakeback under the table without party knowing. If I have a friend who is an affiliate and I sign up a new account under him... how will party have any idea he's paying me a % of what i'm generating under him. =\

So far, my Affiliate has been pretty reliable, so I hope that this doesn't seem like a pointless troll post. This was their latest update from today, 10/10 regarding the PP rakeback deal:

We are currently in discussion with Party Poker regarding offering rakeback to all of you. Once we have confirmation that this is permitted and not against the affiliate terms and conditions, we will of course be contacting each of you to get something set up. Currently, things are looking *promising*. We of course want to make sure that everything is on the up-and-up, so that we can get this right the first time.

So essentially, nothing new has been said. It is encouraging, however, to think that such discussions are ongoing. I think the calm approach of my affiliate is refreshing in this jump-the-gun time for rakeback seekers.
