Default Re: Contributed = looser games

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.

So you really think that the average 23/15 player bumping up to 30/23 is going to make the games seem "better" to fish?

Fish don't like when every hand is raised preflop. I'll give you that they like loose games, but they hate aggressive games.

I've been told by huge fish both live and online, "stop raising so much! Let's just limp every hand..." and so forth.

I agree that the site has a reputation for being tough and that it's a problem; I just don't think this change will address it at all.

WSEX: Hey guys, we made a change to make the games looser, come play on our site!
48/5/0.3 Player: What's the change?
WSEX: The looser players get more rakeback!
48/5/0.3 Player: Well, that won't benefit me. I'm like the next Phil Ivey.
