Default Re: Calling all UB players

[ QUOTE ]

From a business standpoint what they are doing makes perfect sense. The breakeven regulars are not the guys paying the most rake for UB - the ocean of fish pays the most rake.

I played 15k hands last week. There isn't a fish alive on that site that did this.

so the fish congregate there and trade money. As this is going on not only does UB increase the # of raked hands, it also increases the expected rake per hand. This situation should even out as soon as the BBJ tables become so fishy that it is +EV for a good player to play in these games at the higher rake level.

I don't think that you understand this. There is no way to beat the games. Some fish will go broke quickly, some may take a week or two, but nevertheless, all of them will eventually go broke. I suppose that a very good player could theoretically show a profit, but I did prove that 4 bb/100 (at least somewhere in the neighborhood of that at least) is taken off of the table from the additional bbj rake.
