Pokerroom boycott!

[wateronrock]

God what a joke.

It's enough that you are raising the rake, now you want to insult us, with claims you didn't realize the effect of this action????

You are either very stupid or you think we are.

Trust me they did pie chart analysis about this. They figured for every smart/cheap player that dropped out 6 morons won't know better or care. From the looks of the average 2/4 short player it's probably true........... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If neteller fees and other fees are affecting the amount that Pokerroom makes from its low limit games. Then make your reload deposit terms more reasonable. Having reloads of 10% or 20% up to $1000 deposit just adds unnecessary fees. Most other sites are now offering reloads with terms like 100% up to whatever max they choose. A 100% reload to $200 max bonus is going to have a lot lower fees that 20% to $200 max bonus. It also reduces the number of low limit players depositing the max and then withdrawing shortly afterwords. The higher limit players are still going to deposit whatever bankroll they need and are essentially unaffected.

5. The new, more dramatic cut-off point in paid rake can unfortunately lead to certain pots being raked around 9-10%. Do note however that these are extreme situations that only occur when a pot reaches a certain, exact size.

Examples:

Limit 5-10 players

1/2 LEVEL
Pot size $11 total rake $0.40
Pot size $12 total rake $1
Pot size $29 total rake $1

so the only time you are going to benefit is when you are at an extremely loose table. One could play $1/$2 for an hour and not see a $29 pot.

The average pot at $1/$2 is about $13/$14. So, you have it fixed so that you willbe raking $1 in the fast majority of pots, where you used to only rake .50. The only time a player will benefit is if the pot is more than $25, where the $1.25 rake will now only be $1. However, Pots this large are so rare that players will not enjoy any savings.

God, if you're going to raise you rake, then just be honest about it and say you're raising your rake. Don't insult our intelligence by trying to make it look like a give and take, when in reality, the players are the ones doing all the giving, and you're doing all the taking.

how does this effect the 3/6 and 5/10 ??

having played there for like a month and playing a million or so hands to clear their [censored] bonus was enough reason for me to swear off ever playing poker room again.
but if they ask I'll tell them this was the reason I stopped playing there...

You could always use your bonus to buy a PC.

How does this new rake system affect NL 600 and 1000?

It's still basically 5% with 3 dollar max?

You can get a low end laptop that will be able to play poker for about 100US and about the same for a desktop. These days 6 year old laptops are still good enough for the programs. The only thing I have noticed is that my laptop sometimes starts to slowdown after a few hours......
