Diablo,

I've heard that a lot of players actually hate the reduced rake because it means they get less rakeback.

This much is true, as discussed in the Cassidy newhiz thread at length. The reason its so much less on FTP is because their pros get vry high RB %, imagine the difference over 100k hands if Ivey (on 60%+ RB) was paying $2 rather than .50c per hand; this would pretty half FTPs months profits

what does 60% + rakeback mean?

every pot he wins he pays no rake plus 60% of the $.50 rake?

or does he get 60% of every dollar raked off his table whether he is in the hand or not?

[/ QUOTE ]

Could someone answer or point to the thread where it was answered?

one thing i dont get is how come FTP makes money if the pros are all on 60% rakeback ffs? If there are 4 pros at a table FTP are paying 4*60%=240% rakeback which is more rake than they get in (100%). [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

60% of the rake they generate, not the table generates.

Am I the only one who thinks El Diablo is the most overrated user on these forums? I can't really explain it without sounding condescending, but I guess it's an american thing. I can't tell if you're all just new to sarcasm.

His "leveling" trolling in this forums is basically at the level of a 12 year old.

Just as an informative help, there are no "levels". It's all retarded. El Diablo is just probably the smartest kid with down syndrome. Not a great achievement. Oh well, at least he's rich.

What I REALLY like about El D is that I have never seen him use a retarded smiley.

El Diablo posts so often that he IS the average poster and the whole rest of the site is just a rounding error?

I don't understand a single word of this entire thread.

Yuv,

It's more likely that you're just kinda dumb.

[Yuv]

Nah man. That's the sad part. You actually think your trolling is clever. Lower expectations ftw.
