I'm gonna take a guess that OP is in the 8/10 category?

Where are all these people coming from?

I'd say that the new posters should have to meet some sort of criteria, but I don't even think some of the mods could meet it.

It will all be over soon..

The casual/bad players realize they can't win. The games will dry up and the 'good' players who bottom feed will start to lose..
I cant wait!

I don't know why I do this but here I go. WPX failed because it was a stupid idea. Lowering the rake is not a bad idea but essentially that is what you do when you get rakeback and or use points and such. No rake means no marketing and that is what brings the fish. If you don't want to be part of the 7%, or even the less than 1% that makes real money playing poker then just enjoy it for what it is.

If you want to be truly good you will have to put a lot of work in and have the right mentality. Almost no one succeeds not because of the rake but because they aren't mentally capable.

For the average guy poker is about having a good time. In a sense it is a good time for sadists.

I used to say all this stuff about WPX and no one listened to me and said I was crazy, that low rake would be great for the players. Many people have pointed out why that isn't the case.

If you have a problem with the system as it exists take up scrabble.

It's very obvious the house ends up with all the money. Why doesnt anyone care?

YES ~ As I have said before...there needs to be set of tests or something to post here.

I'm in the top 99% of 2+2 posters intelligence-wise, you stooges.
