I'll take good customer service with no rakeback over crappy customer service with no rakeback any day. Call me crazy.

I know nothing about your play, if you play a few tournaments a month this is accurate. For anyone who pays $5K+ in rake/month, this statement would be "crazy." (dare I say retarded?) For all my time spent dealing with crapy customer support, I would estimate my hourly rate at over $5k/hr, since they where supplemented by rakeback.

I think you and the other poster missed the part where he had "with no rakeback" in both clauses.


Also, stacysmom, have you factored in the lower rake you pay in the first place at pokerstars? I don't know the numbers myself for your limit but I've heard figures like 25% less rake. If you're paying this much extra rake and then getting 22% back, you aren't coming out ahead.

Yeah that is relevant for lower limits. although when I looked at it in the past it wasnt that significant, not gonna crunch the #'s atm. But Im pretty sure 5/10+ it becomes very insignificant. Off the top of my head, they take the third dollar at $70, not $60 at most sites. And I wasn't doing a direct comparison to party, (they do not have rake back). I was comparing poor costomer service w/ RB vs good service and no RB.
