Re: The myth of PS rakeback
CryMeARiver,
Why didn't you get the FT rakeback when they had that 1-2 week period where they were allowing non rakeback accounts to receive rakeback? I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I'm just wondering since it's obvious that you are a serious player so I'm just surprised you didn't take advantage of that.

If you signed up through an affiliate, then you couldn't get it, but if you signed up directly with FT, then you could. Forgot about that little nugget.

Re: The myth of PS rakeback
[ QUOTE ]
So many on this forum appear to have a very strong and vested interest in pushing Pokerstars and putting down any and all competition. Especially FTP since it's the closest rival. Is anyone else sick of hearing PS shills drone on about about PS actually having 30%+ RB? It seems to me that PS employs several people to post on this forum in any way they can to push PS and criticise other sites. Just to illustrate my point... If an average person were to play 10k hands a month at PS how much RB would they get and how long would it take them to get it? The preceeding question will no doubt be drowned out and left unanswered by the PS shills flaming the hell out of me for bringing this up in the 1st place. [/ QUOTE ] Lucky, if i had to guess, Full Tilt's rakeback (provided you are eligible) is far better deal than Stars for about 90 percent of the players out there. If not more. However, for those few players that can log hundreds of thousands of hands a year the Poker Stars program is pretty much the same. The reason why lots of people jump on here to defend stars is because they have been rejected by Full Tilt's rakeback program because they signed up without rakeback. I play more poker than just about everyone i know and i could never reach supernova. So playing on FT is a no brainer for me.

Stars has one of the lowest rake structures. Scotty [/ QUOTE ] Could you elaborate a bit on this? According to the stars homepage it is 5% with a 3$ cap, like every other site. But the other sites got rakeback and bonus programs...

In certain games a $19 pot will be raked 0 at Stars, and 0.95$ at f.ex. Prima ToT

Re: The myth of PS rakeback
Here are two small examples
Turbo SNG events FT $11 + 1 PS $15 + 1 FR Limit tables FT 9 handed PS 10 handed 90 players playing on each site, the site with the extra table will drop more rake. Scotty

Re: The myth of PS rakeback
"Is anyone else sick of hearing PS shills drone on about about PS actually having 30%+ RB?"
I've read plenty of posts that went through the math and approximated what the actual value of various levels of play were/are. I doubt the posters going on about this are employees of PS. It's just that Pokerstars has had several years now of high level service, reliability and consistency. Many here, including me, trust them more than the other sites. I've had very negative experiences with FullTilt. If any problem arises with them, their customer service is awful IMO. Play were you want. I like Pokerstars better. I trust them to do the right thing. Even the TeddyFBI worked out in the end. What's the big deal? Just ignore the 'rakeback' comparision threads. Chunwah.
