why isn't wsex more popular??

[Tuff_Fish]

Because of all the bad things I have heard about the software. I should probably check it out for myself though.

Hey Mr GM, when you gonna fix up the software?

Also, I want my hand histories WITHOUT hassle. They don't necessarily need to be instantanous to the hard drive, though that would be nice, but easily, readily, and reliable available. I probably spend as much time studying hand histories as playing. (My results tend to vary)

Mr GM, when you gonna fix the hand history problem?


And.... can you change your screen name without hassle?

Hey Mr GM, I hope you have your ears on.

...you should check it out for yourself. The software is somewhat buggy but not enough to keep someone off.

...this is a legitimate complaint. I've received ZERO hand histories in the past week and just four batches in the past two weeks. That's thousands of hands down the tubes with no recourse for recovery.

Still, not paying rake is a huge incentive to play WPX. It trumps all other problems they have at the site. It is unfortunate that more players have not figured this out.

There was *one* Stud Hi/Lo player sitting at two tables waiting for opponents.

Stud8 has two serious bugs in it which is likely the reason it does not ever run there.

It allows an open pair to 'full bet' on fourth street. It also automatically shuffles your hole cards at showdown with no option to do otherwise. What's the second bug?

[/ QUOTE ]

In a split pot the dealer summary and the animation of the chips do not go along with the correct aplit of the pot. The players get the correct amount of money but many think otherwise because of the dealer and animation telling them a different amount.

Even worse ... there was a thread is the stud forum where someone posted a HH where the software misranked the low hands and awarded the wrong guy the low half of the pot. Maybe that's the same thing you were talking about though, I don't really know.

IMO, it is the same reason people will pay more to eat at Le Cirque than White Castle. Sometimes a better product trumps the lowest cost.

Worst. Analogy. Ever.

Are you serious??? Last time i checked poker is about making money not about how pretty the screen looks. I mean come on its not like party poker or any of the other sites has bug free software and good support. Well maybe Stars does (If you love full rake and hardly any bonuses). If you really think playing without a HUD and a few minor problems is worth 2-6bb/100 depending on the limit you are playing you are either a really bad player, or really stupid. Actually try it out, for a limit player it is a ridiculous deal. Im going to clear over 100k in rakeback a year from wsex with no problem...Im gonna go out on a limb and say the average 2+2er doesnt even come close to making this at one of the "pretty" sites. Comparing Party Poker or Stars to a high end restaurant is pretty laughable.

[WSEX GM]

We are still growing. The amount we pay in rakeback every week is still growing.

Hand Histories to Hard Drives, the Disconnect fix, four tabling, and several other issues should be resolved in the next release in September.

I will not be happy until our product is not only the cheapest place to play but the best platform to play. There's not a lot I can do to speed things up at this point other than stand over the developers shoulders and yell "Type faster."

Football is around the corner and there are many WSEX regualar customers who will be back in the sportsbook. I am sure a good number of them may dabble in the poker room. Once they arrive, and we get this next release out, I think we will start to see Scout numbers over 1,000. It's just a guess.

Thanks for playing at WSEX and if you haven't played since June, come on back and try again. I think you'll see some improvements.

Dude relax. I was simply pointing out that price is not the only reason people choose one product or service over another. There's probably a better analogy but whatever.

Plenty of people are still playing on Stars and Party. Many of these are well aware of WSEX's rake-free deal. So they are obviously choosing to stay on the other site because the game selection/tournament availability/support/graphics/what have you, is worth the rake to them.

I am not a big sports bettor but you can be sure that when i want to play a game and the lines WSEX offers are the same as the lines at pinny or olympic or BT i always place my bets through WSEX. THey have definitely gotten more action from me since going rake free.

Thanks for the response and thanks for working on the HH's situation.
