Re: Monster tables
This is brutally sick. I don't have the time to play in the tournies nor a winrate at 100 to offset a $0.50 drop regardless if its redistributed elsewhere.
I do not underestimate the chance that Party is storing up a bit of US monies in case we go away. They then redistribute to those who can play and continue collecting rake on it. Good thing I donked off monies at 400NL and am back at 50NL for the meantime. Not cool. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Then PP gets more of your money, and you are duped. But hey, living high on the hog now, so whatever.

I am not frustrated that PP decided this was best for them; that's capitalism. The problem is that MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH IT AFFECTS THEM. And that is truly amazing. PP is relying on the stupidity of the average player, and they should. It's going to make them even wealthier.

Re: Monster tables
why is everyone freaking out!
1, it's .50 in every raked pot, not in every pot 2, it's .50 total, not .50/player 3, unless i'm missing something you get all the money back on average over the long run?? 4, the structure of the freerolls will make it easy to parlay a weekly entry into an online final entry 5, the fields in these freerolls will be super soft why is everyone panicking??

[/ QUOTE ] Sure, it's a bad promotion overall, but it will bring in plenty of new fish who will be thinking "omg I'm gonna win 5 million dollars!". I can understand leaving if you are playing 100NL, because certainly the bad play will not make up for the added rake, but at 200NL, it is worth it to stay, for now at least, IMO. It's obviously still early but we'll see what happens.
