Re: Temp 100% Rakeback
[ QUOTE ]
Why hasn't WSEX taken off? [/ QUOTE ] In the past multiple bad software/server issues destroyed their initial momentum from publicity from going rakefree. Then they kicked out a bunch of suspected bots, and the player population crashed to the point it's hard to find a game. They say they are initiating a marketing program to reboot and try to build momentum again. This promotion is part of that, I guess.

Re: Temp 100% Rakeback
[ QUOTE ]
I wasn't aware that it ever was a rock garden. The games there kinda reminded me of some local guys I would play live with. Things start out tight and then somebody takes a beat. They get angry, start pushing and others start looking them up. More beats happen, emotions continue to rise and madness ensues. [/ QUOTE ] Loooooool this is so accurate. Well described.

All of Tuff Fish's complaining about there being nothing but nitty grinders at WPX is nonsense. Some of the most consistently crazy-aggro games I have ever seen have taken place on that site. [/ QUOTE ] Amen. It can be a nuthouse. The roster of hard core regulars seems to be a couple of dozen at the most. These people have played tens of thousands of hands against each other so there's a lot more psychology going on than you'll see at other sites. The battle between the 14/12/3 TAGs and the 25/14/2 LAGs can get highly personal and you need to figure out who, when and where to make your adjustments. There's a lot more fluidity as well. There are players who may play 3/6 and 30/60 in the same day depending on lineup or other motivations. Some months ago someone in the mid-limit forum described WPX as a knife fight. Be prepared to get cut. The rock garden doesn't exist. [/ QUOTE ] if it is actually good there, it seems you might want to keep that a secret.

Well, they have to get the words out there right, WPEX never email their players about the promotion, and posting here is not going to spread the word out. [/ QUOTE ] i get emails about the promotions.

In my experience, the games play differently at WPX then at other sites because of the nature of the smallish player base.

[/ QUOTE ] I get e-mails from them with my RB statement yet do not usually receive promotional e-mails. no biggie since I hear about it here...but you would think they would want to e-mail ALL their players.

Re: Temp 100% Rakeback
If WSEX manager is reading this thread, they could learn a lot. I mean come on, every week, we get a useless email about the rakeback made, but they never send out emails about their promotions, how would they think that their players or people knows about it, 90% people don't read 2+2 all the time.
Still, the traffic has definitively pick up during this promotion, but it would be a lot better.

I set up an account a couple of months ago, but haven't played there yet...got an email last Friday about the 100% RB promotion. I see MicroBob didn't get an email either...do they have an opt-in/out choice for promotional emails you guys might have chosen differently than others?
