Another heads up:

I funded with NETeller and was told that if I want to withdraw, I get one free one every 10 days. After that, it's $15 to withdraw.

WPEX was spectulated to have BOTS in the past (and I like tacos as much as the other vets, mind you). they seemed pretty beatable when I played there over a year ago, but maybe they're looking to test them out on some new blood.

Sorry SE, but playerare is a pretty respected poster here, and for good reason IMO. I think this shot was uncalled for.

Hello XXX,

We are still a part of the WSEXPoker network, however we are still separate enterties and some of our promotions may vary at times.

I am sorry but ,Truemoney games customers will not be eligible for the no rake refund.

It is nice to have you back , and please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

Best Regards
Laureen

PS - they don't have me back. Why would I play on WSEX tables and pay rake?

It's a very poor business decision. Think of it as promotional.

[/ QUOTE ]

Quite the contrary, it was probably a very good business decision on their part, even if the current 100% turns out to be promotional.

That's one thing I don't care for here. You always HAVE to reply to somebody.

Often I just want to add my 2 cents to the thread in general so I just randomly click reply to any of the posts. It doesn't always mean I am replying directly to that post.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then format your replies like this:

MNpoker,

blah blah blah, etc.

You know, type the name of the person you are responding to. That's ,uch easier to follow.

*edit* Or for replying to the thread in general, something like:

All,

blah, blah, blah, etc.

Based on observed play, it seems like this site is killing the myth that only good players care about rake (why wouldn't a losing player want to get $200 on monday?). It is as attractive for fishes as it is for TAGs. In fact here the fishes will last longer as much of their money get recycled instead of dropping into the black hole. My point is, this site gets market leader>much more money to share among the winners. Much more! Like all of Party's profit more! This is the chance [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Theres no reason to dig up an old forum post from last year where a player speculates that bots are being used. It's speculation afterall, no proof.

Not only that, he insinuates that the bots are planted on the site by the site itself! That's wild speculation IMO, and uncalled for. Maybe he was joking when he said [ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ] , but still, it's these kind of rumors created from pure BS that can harm a site.

Personally, I don't think this is the time or place to begin rumors. If that's to harsh for everyone, oh well, it's how I feel and I won't be changing anytime soon.

I want to play online poker for years without having to pay up my nose for that right. I don't see why it should cost me 50k in rake to do so. This online poker isn't brain surgery. The sites are gouging us for much more than their services are worth, IMO. I hope one day that changes. A viable rake free site is the first step to those ends.

So when posters do their best to sabotage the effort for a site to go rake free, they are in fact potentially stealing 50k from my poket next year.

Assuming that the 5x bonus you are referring to is 'dealt-hand' then it's $0.20 in value per raked-hd over there which is pretty good obviously.


For the WPEX way I just don't have enough familiarity to even make a good guess at it without actually trying it first.
There are even different ways of doing the 'contributed-rake' way and I'm not sure which one they are using. I could guess but I really don't know and probably wouldn't be close.


Somebody else who plays relatively tight at 2/4 limit, full-ring (or whatever you play) could give an idea of how much they are making per hour or hand though.


Personally, I'm going to try it out first and see how much I'm making and THEN use that to guage how much better it is compared with bonuses on other sites.
And game-quality becomes a factor at some point as well of course.
