THE GREAT PARTY PRO GENOCIDE

[lefty rosen]

The 2/4 game is still beatable, please I have seen enough calling station morons at the game to see that. Just stealing or semistealing unraked pots is huge at that game. Party took an extra .5 in December of 03 and that was much worse than the buck in 05, just because more pots fell into the .5 range..

I don't keep track of what you know and don't know. You don't have to listen to this discussion if you don't want to.

They have grown because of multitabler growth. They have either stagnated or shrunk if you include fish growth. I swear only .5/1 is truly superfishy these days. The 1/2 short games which were absolutely bingo games have more thinking players then ever, which means that game is near unbeatable because of the 10 percent tax at 5 bucks. The games have been regressing for a long time and now the chickens are coming home to roost.....

Party is great at advertsising and bringing in fish.

Stoptherake greed is not exactly mellow in his posts, but certainly shouldn't be banned. Since when is rake bashing a reason for banning someone.

I just moved to 6max and I was amazed at the rake I now pay. (And without PT I would not have realized how much worse it is.) Telling that to the 2+2 forum is preaching to the choir.

But people do need to be educated on how much rake is costing them ESPECIALLY FISH!

The free market will work this thing out and rakes will drop, it's inevitable. Trying to speed that process up is not a bad thing.
Using words like 'genocide' probably is.

This is very true. I've been looking at this lobby trying to figure out whether there is anyway the games aren't going to be total garbage in a few months. The 3-6 games go FOLD FOLD around to the button all the time.

Well now you know what we know.
Listen I do not disagree with you,just leting you know your pretty much wasting your time on this particular forum with this.I am very much interested that wpx or any other site that does something serious with rake reduction or elimination of it succeeds.

Obviously, the metaphor is extreme, but if you look at what is happening down the food chain, "murder" seems like an understatement. I feel like I lost my job. Plans to play online rather than in B&M casinos were all dashed.

OK, now you're getting out of control. Rake at B&M casinos is MORE than any online poker site, so I don't see how your dreams were squashed or how you lost your job. You're just being dumb.

And as for the murder referrence (or metaphor or whatever the [censored] you wanna call it):

Rake isn't even CLOSE to comparable to murder. The only way murder would be an understatement to rake is if the victim was YOU.

[STOPRAKEGREED]

There is more than one way to calculate rake. How about in dollars per month for a live one? Is that less on Party than in B&M?

What is wrong with methaphors? Haven't you ever said you got tortured in a poker game? Comeon!
