I don't know why I do this but here I go. WPX failed because it was a stupid idea. Lowering the rake is not a bad idea but essentially that is what you do when you get rakeback and or use points and such. No rake means no marketing and that is what brings the fish. If you don't want to be part of the 7%, or even the less than 1% that makes real money playing poker then just enjoy it for what it is.

If you want to be truly good you will have to put a lot of work in and have the right mentality. Almost no one succeeds not because of the rake but because they aren't mentally capable.

For the average guy poker is about having a good time. In a sense it is a good time for sadists.

I used to say all this stuff about WPX and no one listened to me and said I was crazy, that low rake would be great for the players. Many people have pointed out why that isn't the case.

If you have a problem with the system as it exists take up scrabble.
