Default why arent players flocking to no-rake poker?

I've been playing online poker for about 7 years - since the days when Planet Poker was the only online cardroom. A few months ago a sportsbook/cardroom called World Sports Exchange began offering 100% rake-free poker in their cardroom - this is something we poker players must give our support to - its an amazing opportunity. The rake-back in a 3-6 game is around $12/hr - in a 6 handed 5-10 about $35/hr!!This is what you're paying to play at other sites.The first week playing 3-6 and 5-10 there I received $1300 in rake-back into my account.They have a good selection of games so join up and spread the word - and if you're a sportsbettor give them action - thats why they're doing this.

Edit/MH: This is presumably the WSEX spammer that caused the creation of the monthly WSEX thread. Same style. As he cross-posted in another forum as well he has been banned. If he or anyone else wants to say whatever they want about WSEX, please keep it in that thread for the benefit of all. Thanks.

it is due to their self-hatred and their love of the rake.

Its due to the fact that advertising is targeting a community like 2p2 which is filled with semi-knowledgable gamblers instead of the gambling community as a whole. Most people on here either play there or think gmaes are too tough to play so advertsising here becomes insignificant. What would be smart would be spamming the major websites with advertisements like " forget company xxxxx and come play poker with us where at the end of every week we pay you to sports bet or play poker as you chose."

Small player base and tough games.
What good is rakeback if you are barely breakeven overall and don't have enough tables to play?

And his first post was only a couple minutes before this one.

Member #2008, registered in 2003, made 2 posts in 2007 and was perma-banned within minutes.

That is really weird.
