View Full Version : Mandatory front page WSEX thread!!!

Since there is no front page WSEX thread, I figure it's due time to make my own pointless thread.

But truly...it's not pointless. WSEX deserves every bit of attention it gets. Eventually it needs to be drilled in to everyone's head that there is simply NOT any legitimate reason to play any where else.

Any problems people have been having, the site has been efficiently working out. Any belief that there is less money to be made at WSEX than elsewhere is simply wrong (Other than a multi-table limit of 3, but there is no reason you can't play two sites).

People here on 2+2 know about WPEX.No need for repeated messages.Everyone has different needs and for sure WPEX cannot meet them right now for everyone.

With time people will come when the site meets the needs with those players that presently have not signed up.

Other forums are just now learning about it all and the growth will come,slowly for now but eventually there will be enough play there to satisfy the most needy of requirements.

Spamming the same topic again and again is not helpful.

Some players here have decided to play there.
Others have not.

While the level of play of all 2+2'ers is not exactly mind-blowingly brilliant all the time I still don't really want ALL 2+2'ers to populate the tables there.

Also, there are reasons to play on other sites too.

I think WSEX rocks.
I am supporting them as well with my sports-bets (otherwise known as 'hunches') because I believe in what they are doing.

But there actually ARE reasons to play elsewhere...and it's not entirely all 'fish-related' either.

Unless you count buggy software. That's a VERY good reason not to play there. Every time I play the system boots me off in my small blind as if I've timed out. Then it won't let me sit back down again. Try multitabling when that happens.

Fair enough, but who plays sngs anyway? jk. But if you are a sng player it wouldn't hurt to sit at a WSEX table while you play elsewhere. Someone has to get the ball rolling.

And how about those guaranteed tournies with the monster overlay? It doesn't really get much better for the multi-table tourney player.

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]
Well surely the regulars here know about WPEX, but people not "in the know" do occasionally stumble across this site and it's important that they know that WPEX is the place to play.

I understand that repetition can be annoying, however, repetition is important in swaying opinion. Thinking back to all the sites I've played at a lot of times the decision came about based on how FREQUENT I saw posts about them here. I may have read a convincing post about how great a site Party is to play at, but without being bludgeoned by post after post it would have taken much longer for me to find my way there. This is even more important with WPEX as they don't have the advertising muscle that Party has. So people like me and that other ranting goofball have to get the word out. It doesn't really matter who does the promoting as long as it is done somehow. Source amnesia causes people to forget the specifics of where they gain information and from whom they gain information. They simply remember hearing many times that WSEX is a great place to play. Hopefully, this will lead to them playing there. There is no sensible reason for all the voices of dissent here. You can't possibly believe that it is a bad thing for people to be playing at WSEX, so why the negative responses? If you've found some reason not to play there then don't, but I can not understand the motivation to dissuade others from playing there.

[ QUOTE ]

There is currently over 150 players seated at limit tables alone. So maybe 125 discounting multi-tablers. That's not huge, but it's sufficient enough for some game selection.

I'm hardly a n00b, but you are right that I have not changed any defaults. Sorry, just haven't been motivated to. But then it's noobs that need to hear about WSEX on the front page and as many times as possible. So I still believe this post is entirely relevant.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, like you said "Some players have decided to play there, Others have not". This is quite true for the regular posters who are most likely the ones we would be worried about tightening up the tables. I probably can't sway their opinion much anyhow. However, the population of casual lurkers probably isn't THAT much more skilled than the general poker playing population. In any event, with traffic, fish will come (I believe they already have). We should just be encouraging as many people as possible to do their poker playing at WPEX.

Likewise. I'm even taking bets from friends and placing them on WSEX. And I feel I should convey that I believe you're a good guy even though we disagree on a few trivial points. I appreciate your contributions to the zoo.

[ QUOTE ]
But there actually ARE reasons to play elsewhere...and it's not entirely all 'fish-related' either.

[/ QUOTE ]
I'll concede that for a few people this is true. But I do believe that MOST players would do better at WSEX.

One better option for some folks may be propping at bigger sites, but I simply don't see very many players being successful props. Even if they were successful, they might still prefer the rakefree model. I propped for over a year, and frankly I'd rather avoid the responsibility (Though to be fair, my prop managers didn't make unfair demands. It was a pretty easy job).

Why deal with chasing bonuses from site to site, running cash from here to there, and making affiliates rich when you can just play at WPEX and relax?

True. Buggy software sucks and I wouldn't play somewhere under those conditions. But I've had no software problems (Other than the rake meter in the first few weeks of the new program), so hopefully it isn't affecting too many people. But even the biggest sites have frequent bugs.

I play two things, tournaments and NL cash.

1)They don't have any decent tournaments
2)Not only can you disconnect in NL cash, it gives you the side pot unless you email support

Until they fix both of those, I see no reason to play there yet.

They cannot truly appreciate what WPEX means to their possible future of on line play.
A site like this in the begining needs support of players,but alot of players are just simply waiting to see what happens to WPEX.We as players can finally do something about our future and people really do not appreciate that.
I am starting to beleive people are addicted to chasing bonuses,chasing their own tail.WPEX is too simple,they don't charge you nothing(hard to believe I know)nothing to chase.

Even with a ton of marketing it's kind of a 'slowly but surely' situation.


Full tilt has as much marketing as anybody. And they're not exactly pushing 100k players at peak like party and stars.


I think a lot of 2+2'ers got frustrated by the tougher-than-usual competition and decided to give up on it for the time-being.


I was having higher hopes for it also. Oh well.

MNpoker
05-07-2006, 02:16 PM
I sat at a 10/20 table today just to see if I could get a game going.

It took about 1/2 hour but once we got to 3 players it went to 5 almost immediately.

My last month:
Party - $3,000
WSEX + $1,000 and another $1,400 in rakeback OR $2,400.

With about 1/3 the hands at WSEX as Party.

I can see some people ot playing a WSEX yet. But for 10/20 Shorthanded I really can't believe people are 2 BB /100 better at Party.

The RAKE in a SH limit game is insane!! No wonder sites have so many shorthanded tables now.

I'm certainly not.

anyone paying over $20 per hour in Rake (after rakeback, etc.) should be playng at this site (or AT LEAST watching it and hoping it takes off).

Since there is no front page WSEX thread, I figure it's due time to make my own pointless thread.

Creating new threads about the same topic over and over again is forum spam and your OP admits it is starting a pointless thread. It does not matter if it is made by a shill, a troll or a player it is still forum spam. Spam like that only hurt the point you are trying to get across. I've seen you spam other forums too with pointless posts like that, all it does is hurt your cause.

Q_and_A
05-09-2006, 01:59 PM
Assuming this is the best thread (of many) to get info on WPEX, Here are some questions:

1. Can you contact the site to get any info before creating an account? I couldn't find the answers to these questions.

2. What methods are available to fund the poker account other than Netteller?

3. The "create account" screen appears to only allow an 8 character user log in name. I see players on WPEX with screen names of more than 8 characters. Do you select a screen name after you create an account?

4. Can your screen name be different than the user login?

5. How often can you change you change your screen name?

Probably more questions to follow.

I actually hope you're right, I would love to have Party's game quality on a 100% rakeback site.

but while the games are tight and not any good, don't wonder why traffic is so small. a whole thread was started about "please post if you are up, these games are so hard!!!". that's not good advertising...

05-09-2006, 05:34 PM
As someone who's played at both sites over the past month, and someone who knows DMBfan pretty well, I can back up his statements; about both not being an affiliate and the WPx games.

I'm still playing at both places and trying to get a feel for what's what. I can say this: Games on the W are MUCH harder.

That's not just something I'm pulling out of my ass, BTW. WPx players, take a look around you. I just started importing my hands to PT about 15000 hands ago. Those of you who have some PT records, I suggest you look at the summary tab and start gauging the competition before saying that the games are good. The ONLY thing that makes the decision close is 100% rakeback. That's it.

Highest VPIP (100 hands minimum) that I found from any player on the site was 42.3 -- this includes 5 max games! I don't buy the argument about making a ton of money postflop from tight players. Most of the players that have the discipline or knowledge to play tight preflop aren't going to spew a ton postflop. One day you will get the best of me...next day, I will get the best of you. Of course, there will be a few marginal exceptions, but for the most part, we're all reasonable enough in our judgement not to fold top sets or cap turns with UI 7-highs. This is the main reason that so many players (check your DBs on WPx) are in the red. As time goes on, you will see the result of tight games start to unfold into a minisule amount of green players and a massive amount of red players. Right now, it's early in the PT stage and a lot of this is still masked behind variance.

Also, check your AA stats. Normal winrate for AA at a site with good games should be around 2.5-3.0 BB/hand with an 80% winning percentage. After 15000 hands, my AA is winning at 90% on WPx and making 2.0 BB/hand. This is what happens on tight sites. Same goes for my KK, QQ and JJ. Don't expect to be so-called "postflop wizards" and try to make up for this huge difference by attempting to beat your "weak", tight opponents over the head with J9o. It's a pipe dream.

Expect to make around 2BB/100 in rake at the 3/6 to 5/10 level, a little more at lower limits, and a little less at higher limits. But, also don't be disappointed if you lose in the games; expect it.

I feel I'm running average on the site, and I'm down like 0.25BB/100 overall. Of course, those running poorly will back up my statements and those running well will deny what I have said. However, don't let short term results cloud your judgement either way. Make no mistake about it...what I'm saying is VERY much the truth.

If total rake is 2 BB/100 at those limits, doesn't that mean that your win rate at WPEX can be approximately 2 BB/100 less than at Party to break even between the two?

What do you think the Party VIP promotions and bonuses average in terms of rakeback? 10-15-20-25%?

05-16-2006, 11:06 PM
I have no idea what tables you are playing but it certainly is not the same ones I am.

Show some PT stats to back up these claims. I have in another thread showed mine and asked for Party PT stats to compare but no one came forward.

They are different yes. Harder, I don't have enough data to answer.

But my current win rate (after 5,000 hands) is higher than my winrate at party has been this year, and that is before rakeback.

I feel I'm running average on the site, and I'm down like 0.25BB/100 overall. Of course, those running poorly will back up my statements and those running well will deny what I have said. However, don't let short term results cloud your judgement either way. Make no mistake about it...what I'm saying is VERY much the truth.

In your case.

Still would like to see some PT stats showing the differences.

Eventually it needs to be drilled in to everyone's head that there is simply NOT any legitimate reason to play any where else.

Not true. There are several other sites where you can regularly get 90%+ rakeback. Also you can only play three games at WPEX, sometimes not even that.

Besides to some people playing in a softer game is more important than the money.

This makes no sense to me. I can see someone saying playing in a tougher game is more important than the money. i.e. to test yourself against tougher opposition in an effort to improve your game and forgoe immeditate monetary results. But why play in softer games if you don't care about the money? So you don't have to think?

yeah... what?

I would play in a tougher game to try and get better.

I play in soft games to make money.

So I don't get it either.

It’s easier to out play the opposition in a softer game, and generally feel good about your play.

You want to see some fish as its important to your ego that you know your better than someone at the table /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Even if making money is an important part of your poker playing, it requires some level of mathematical intuition to appreciate just what effect an extra 50% of rakeback has on your bottom line. Clearly this is beyond most players as the WPEX servers are still coping.

I guess these are the same type of players who like to criticize your play and basically evaluate your skill as a poker player after watching three hands. There seem to be many of these loosers populating the internet, and they need to feel power and control. Poker rapists.
