Default Re: Rake - partypoker vs pokerstars

The more people that play there, the better. As the site grows, bad players will come, whether they are new players who figure out that rake is a BAD idea or existing sportsbook players who can find a poker game going at any limit, any time of the day.

The point I was making is that there's absolutely no way that someone in this forum doesn't know about WPEX yet...there has to be at least 5 posts about it on the front page at any one time. My problem is that "some" people who play there feel the need to post about WPEX in every thread about another site. Some of us know about WPEX and simply choose not to play there...we are aware of the benefits of no-rake, but we still make the decision to play elsewhere. Apparently this harms some peoples egos or something, because they can't imagine how other people would make a different decision that they did based on the same information, but in fact it happens all the time. We are not uneducated on the amount we are losing to rake, but still have made a perfectly reasonable decision that we would rather play elsewhere. I don't know why that is so hard for people to understand.

Dunkman, I completely see your point that every existing poster on 2+2 already knows about rake and WPEX. But, don't you think there are new players who sign up here every day, or even new players who just lurk and browse the forums who don't know about WPEX and rake? Does it really hurt to pimp WPEX in hopes that some of these new players check it out? There is no affiliate program, and none of us are getting paid for this. Just think, if WPEX can become wildly successful, maybe players like yourself will benefit when Party or Stars or whoever are forced to cut their rake just to get some players back. Remember, Party is public, therefore they will be expected to grow their profits every year - kind of hard to grow profits if their player base is slowling shrinking.
