Re: Why online poker sucks.
In my previous thread, which was semi serious about a no rake site, someone mentioned Dutch Boyd and a membership site. I looked around a bit and read a little history about the demise of PokerSpot and the possible start of a site called Rakefree Poker.
Rakefree Poker apparently stalled before getting very far, and whether that was due to Dutch Boyd's unfortunate history, the subsequent arrival of the UIGEA, or both is not totally clear.
But let me ask the question. Why wouldn't you guys support a membership site? Say $49/month or some such number?
Bear in mind, such a site would not be any more legal in the current US climate than a rake site. But if the UIGEA suddenly went poof and US poker sites were explicitly allowed, wouldn't a "rakefree" site akin to what Dutch Boyd had in mind be a good thing?
Tuff << doesn't play much poker anymore so doesn't pay much rake.
