I don't know how much you play at wsex these days, but the games aren't really that bad. It's just that there aren't enough tables open, or enough players.

This contradicts your statement that bad players will recognize that the games are tight and not stick around.

So now that most pros have given up on the site, it's almost dead, there are a few good games going now and again. No big surprise ... the sportsbook will supply a new bad player or two on a regular basis. Since everyone else is gone, they are not lost in a sea of TAGs and the games are ok, sometimes, when they run. That's what I see happening at this time on the site.

I persuaded two players from my home game to sign up and play on WPEX some months ago. Both did not rebuy because the games were much tougher than comparable limits at Stars or Full Tilt. I think that WPEX's tough reputation is a primary reason why it's so dead. I've heard many a 'pro' whining over the last year about how it's impossible to win there even with the rakeback ... it's definitely gotten a reputation.

So, I disagree that you have proven any contradiction. WPEX's reputation as tough site is part of what's killing it, and the loosening effect of contributed rakeback will help counter that.
