What is everyones thoughts on CakePoker?

When I worked for BW I spoke with Grummin and was in constant communication with him. That is why I supported them so much and to this day have not completely thrown in the towel. Taking on sb.com and the Neteller mess has left them some challenges for sure.

Hopefully the checks and software issues will be resolved. There is so much potential there.

Speaking of Gamesgrid, can you believe their fall? It's a good example of what can happen with a few bad decisions. 12 players peak in last 24 hours.

Gamesgrid is the only poker room that I think deserves a violin [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I mean lets see...things start off great with their VIP Program etc, but that is dropped then the traffic drops. They then manage to reach out to thousands of players with their big forum freeroll challenge...I remember this was the buzz on almost any poker forum....and then the servers can't handle the load, completely disgusting the players, and boom, you have thousands of unimpressed potential customers.

Then they start launching skins, including Tony G. Things look up again, they start making bold statements about accepting US players bla bla bla...then they no longer accept US players, that coupled with absolutely atrocious customer service from their main skin Tony G.

The Tony G software was quite nice too.

Yeah I think Cake are just suffering a lot of the growing pains. I remember when Chris...or was it Grummin...one of them, was on here almost every day, looking for a lot of feedback etc(I think you gave them lots of feedback PA?). I got the impression it was a very well run poker room, by guys who thought they had plenty of time to get everything sorted, and accomodating for the player. Then the UIEGA happened and they're experiencing growth that they are having a lot of problems handling. I've seen this in the past many times(anyone remember Gamesgrids Forum Freeroll Challenge?), however by speaking to Cake, I get the impression that they're just overrun right now, but trying to make good.

I've done my best not to shill on the forums and have pretty much stuck to the facts in these threads, but this is pretty much right on.

Gamesgrid...yeah. It took a special breed of incompetence, ala Doyle's/Planet/Paradise, to get to that point.

Anyone know why there are no 6maxx tables above 0.5/1 NL now?
