WSEX update on disconnect issues and freerolls

[thomasperfecto]

I had a terrible time trying to play last night (GMT)
I was getting disconnected every 3 minutes.

FWIW I see zero incentive for you to keep your freerolls going. I'm certain that if you take the time to do a data search to see if the players who are habitually playing the freerolls are actually giving you any quality play, you will find they are not.

Once someone actually finds your site - let 'em actualy make a deposit and play with the cash - for get the freebies, they are tying up your bandwidth.

I know Prima seemed to have problems recently with their freerolls - they'd have an extra 10,000 freeloaders playing and it would kill the network. Dump the freeloaders!

If you are playing at a site with zero rakeback, exactly how are you not a "freeloader"?

Chances of me putting in a ton of hours on WSEX is significantly higher on their Aces Never Lose days.
So I'm even WORSE than a freeloader.


edit - But at least I bet sports on there, and I'm guessing the same can not be said for many other 2+2'ers.

I usually save about 400 a week in rake fees there so and rarely get disconnected.. not a big deal compared to savign 1600 a month or better and being able to win.

i'm not depositing on any site where i've never played. the first thing i do when checking out a new site is try a freeroll. for this site which badly needs to bring in new players, dropping the freerolls would be a terrible idea.

So here is my trip report on multitabling 5 top SNG, $5 NL .

Monday, I played 4 at a time constantly for 100 minutes of play. I went through 8 tourneys in that time (that includes start up (15 minutes) and tailing off (15 minutes)). I took first once and second three times, breaking even. One lag lapse of about 10 seconds, causing at least one hand to fold. This was pretty crazy, but I could still chat. No misfolds or anything, but I was going all-in often as many were 3-up at the same time. Table turn over was not a problem.

Sunday, I played five, three at a time, won $32.50 ($7.50 up). Two lag lapses of about 10 seconds each over 100 minutes. Three at a time is easy really, lots of time to chat, take notes, ect.

Saturday, I played just two games at once. Won $17.50 (Up $7.50). Too slow.

So my net so far of 15, $5, 5-tops SNG is $15 up, with an average of 3 at a time, which would take about 4 hours of play (3 constantly), or 20% ROI . If you exclude the 4 tabling , then it's 7 hands over about 2 hours, $15 up or 42% ROI . At poker stars , over 15 @ $6 + $0.50 turbo, 4 at a time, I made about $42.50 (I played more then) in about 4 hours or 44% ROI .

Anyone have some pokerstars to Wsex ROI's of the same limits...with a bigger sample than I?

I never used PaHud and rarely use PT. I have considered SNG helper, but don't really care. I play for recreation/challenge. I plan to take detailed notes on players at Wsex (such as chat topics, and what they might think of my play). I'm taking a 'house game' approach to the SNG, as I'm confident I will see similar players over a long period of time and may actually get a better 'read' through the chat/subject topics. I think it will be more interesting too, as I can develope a better relationship with the players (B&M players talk about this).

Thought I would post this. The decons are WAY down for sure. They happen occasionally. They happened more often to others at the tables I was playing, and I'm sure it's their connection. You MUST turn animations off (and everything else for that matter, just the basics). I do this on all sites though.

10/17 I played 7 $5 nl 5-top SNG's, 3 at a time, netted -$2.5 (half a buyin), over about 100 minutes . Play seemed better today at the $5 SNG. Not much chatting. Started off as LAG, switched to TAG and improved. Deconned twice...once for 1 sec (at the hour), instant reconnect. The second decon was about 5 sec and caused another fold. I don't remember when it was. Others complained of decons that I did not experience. If you run any other internet programs, you can set wsex priority to 'realtime'. This allows file sharing and wsex running at the same time.

Dear WSEX GM,

I think if you guys could get your issues fixed and advertise to fish, you could make billions raking 25% and giving RB 75%.
