Yeah, but 800 of them were in the freeroll.

I've heard they use bots.

some other people have chimed in the same thing. I read the BW thread and it seems a few people were under the same impression. SWE is a huge ass sport book, not sure why they would even bother putting bots in these games. Doesn't seem like it would make much difference to their bottom line.

good thing about the software - folded cards remain in view so fish can see what they WOULD have had

bad thing - it tells you what your hand is: "you have a full house, fours full of kings"

Just happened across some interesting news about WSEX on CAP.

Affiliates are required in this day and age to get people on to a site. Whether it be the flashy banners or commentary on blogs, they direct traffic to your site. Sites that know how and where to spend some efforts and cash can make sure the right people find out about their message.

That is...unless you screw the very people who are trying to help you.

Turns out, WSEX last year "upgraded" their software and in the process, they tossed out their affiliates. These are people who, in good faith, direct their users to a site in return for compensation.

So after this upgrade, it looks like no one was properly notified (as you would expect a large company to do) that the program was going to be terminated. Nor were they offered compensation. Instead, affiliates were teased with "we're working on the problem, it will be up soon, don't worry, we're still tracking your traffic." Finally, the affiliates got tired of waiting and they pulled down their banners.

Reading this left a bad taste in my mouth. To be fair, so did the Empire/Party deal. I for one do not condone that type of action on the part of any company. Sure, there's no way in hell they could pay for those referrals now, but this was over a year ago. Bad form, folks.

I just signed up. Moving some $$ to Neteller right now to make a deposit. This has the potential to be sweeter than marmalade. Cross your fingers guys!

Ack! It does...and in real money games! Great googly moogly. Why not just put up a big button that says "You're beating everyone, stay in the hand."

Anyone seeing anything in their rake total besides $0.00. Someone posted that it would be updated at midnight. What time zone? It's now almost 12:30am EDT.

I don't understand why everyone is so excited.

The site is dead with barely any tables up and running and the only players who will be there will be those who read poker forums....LOL...not exactly fish material

Look at what happened to rakefree or whatever the [censored] that rake free site was.

I would be very happy to play at a site full of 2+2ers that has no rake. You overestimate how good the average poster here is.
