What happened to Prima?
I decided to try Prima for the 45% rakeback. I went to the tables, and realized the 10-handed .25/.50NL (50nl-equivalent) is just like the ex-Party Skins. The lobby said 35-50%, but the VP$IP was closer to 15, PFR was less than 4, and average pots were ridiculously low.
I was doing well at first, but the went on a cold streak, had no action on my big hands and when I did they always sucked out (my KK was my biggest losing hand). Ended up down quite a bit The rakeback was also idiotic, I got something like $3/hr 4-tabling, whereas on Party I had at least $6/hr. Was this just variance, or is Party the only place worth playing? (or am I just really bad). |

I suggest that you play the Cryptos instead because of their atrocious rake in low limits. Your rb will be way higher even if you get only 30% [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

Yeah but then I'll be paying more rake [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] My real concern was the rake computation, perhaps those were different somehow.
I don't want to pay more rake just so I can get a larger amount of money back. |

Re: What happened to Prima?
The rake computation is the same!

Re: What happened to Prima?
Last year at this time the NL 100 & NL 200 games on Prima were crazy loose. I doubled up nearly every K/K & A/A hand, and also when I hit a set. (Barring Suckouts)
I've tried Prima a few times this year, and wow, all the games are so rockish. Like you said, maybe one person outside of the blinds seeing the flop. I tried alot of 6 max NL on there, thinking the fish went to the SH play, and the games are equally tight. Needless to say, I play elsewhere 99% of the time, and miss those crazy games of last year at Prima. |

Re: What happened to Prima?
What are some other easy sites with people playing?
I've heard Noble was pretty good, too bad it doesn't go with PT. |

Re: What happened to Prima?
fish are at the higher limit games on prima. 1/2 and 2/4nl short handed games. And the 5/10 fixed short handed also juicy [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The rake computation is the same! [/ QUOTE ] this is incorrect I think. I have understood that party calculates rake as ottal rake for the hand/# of players dealt in. Prima: total rake for the hand * percentage of the pot you contributed, win or lose. |
