I dunno how the heck they are updating this stuff. I've got 566 FPPs and my "rake econimozed since monday 3 april = $60.81" which was around $55 before I just played a short 100 hand session or so at $1/2.

I'm pretty confused.

Rake does not adjust until you have left the table.

My thoughts exactly.

See you all there tonight!

Zero-rake (i.e., 100% rake-back) is better than any bonus or 30% RB deal combined!
Plus they give you a 20% bonus for buying in, right?

Great Caesar's Ghost!

It would be in all our interest that this thing becomes a great success, not only because we will have a rake-free site but because it will make other sites more likely to increase their incentives. Anyone has any suggestion on what to do to assist in attracting players?

Is this correct?
If it appears they are all set and have straighted-out whatever they needed to straighten-out then I'll probably seeing many of my fellow 2+2'ers there.


Happy TAG-fest Everyone!!!!

with no rake it only takes one or 2 poor players per table to make a good game. If they are pushing this at all to there regular sportsbetting customers there will be some bad players around, just like Bodog.

Default Re: WSEX = RAKE FREE!

I played at this site about a year and a half ago, via the Truemoneygames skin (Backgammon site). They had a shared wallet between BG and Poker, a'la Gamesgrid.

I liked the software in general, finding it speedy and much more aesthetically pleasing than Party. The few games they had going were soft but I was a horrible limit player back then. I did well at the small NL cash games, and very well at their SNG and 2-3 table tournaments.

Oh, and my Aces always seemed to get cracked EXCEPT on Wednesdays...lol.

I recall discussion in the PT forum that they considered supporting the site but it was too small to justify the development time. Like anything I'm sure if interest grows that could change.

About a year ago they had a rash of server crashes during tournaments. I was able to get refunded in all cases, usually after multiple emails over 2-3 days. I was disappointed that after several problems they were unwilling to provide any additional compensation, but I wasn't exactly a high-roller.

Ultimately I just moved on and haven't been back.

Truemoneygames may have split from wsex, I am not sure if the tables are still shared or not. The thing I always liked about TMG was the cashout process was consistently lightning-fast (although I am talking only $hundreds).

I don't see anything about rake-free at the TMG website so it's probably not valid there, but I'll try emailing them just for giggles.

I thought it was kind of cool to see "you have high-card, Jack" on the table when pushing all-in to blow some donkey off his hand.

I agree. This is just like offering prop deals to everyone. Maybe everyone will go nuts when they find out there's about a dozen sites about the same size as WSEX where you can usually get 100-150% RB and a few of others that are bigger than WSEX that pay over 100% RB

What other sites??? Don't post or re-post this crap if you're not
going to back it up with facts. Tell us what all these magical sites are, man.

And propping doesn't count (i.e., having to open up Yahoo messenger to
tell your Prop manager you're "reporting for duty" and then going to whatever table
he tells you you are needed, and then having to leave the table once it fills and
starts to get fishy, etc. - that's ludicrous!

As far as I'm concerned, there is no need to play anywhere else than this WSEX, oh, and
your other fake magical non-existent sites that offer 100-150% rake-back and are bigger than WSEX -
sorry, I forgot about those!
