Canadian Online players...especially playing Party

[slim]

A couple of yrs ago a winning Candian online player was getting 1.3x exchange plus 30% rb from Party. Soon we'll be winning only 90cents on the dollar and no rb. Anyone thinking of quitting over this? I'm seriously thinking about it or at least playing very seldom. I know there are other sites with RB but it's just not as fishy as Party.

I want Party to allow rakeback again, those cheap [censored]. Anybody have any ideas the likelyhood of this?

almost zero?

the exchange rate has nothing to do with anything -- it just means you're playing at slightly lower stakes than you used to be. (at least if you never have to deposit)

If you are a winning player at a rate of 2BB/100 playing 10-20....then you're making 40 bucks an hour which used to be 50 bucks an hour Canadian. When the US drops to 90 cents then we will be making 36 an hour. Assuming 100 hds an hour. No?

How does this have anything to do with Party ?

Yes and no.
You're $ per hour is correct. Your stakes are incorrect.
You are actually playing 9/18 not 10/20 if you are going to convert to Canadian dollars... (At a rate of U.S$ = $.90)You must compare apples to apples
(or Canadian $ to Canadian $ in this case)

bc we used to get rb and now we don't. That combined with the stupid dollar has a drastic effect on the bottom line.

[Jim14Qc]

compared to, say, 1 year ago, you dropped ~10% of your winnings from exchange rate (assuming you're winning at the EXACT same rate). You dropped another 10% from losing RB (ipoker? ftp?).

Move up one level, maintain winrate, you just doubled your bottom line.

In any case, can you think of a viable solution? Any job that requires absolutely no credentials can get you 100+ / hour? As a student, poker is gold for me. BTW 100 hands/hour, wtf? 2-tabling will get you more than that at 6max...

I really don't see the exchange rate and loss of RB being a major factor in quitting. Becoming a marginal winner or a breakeven player would be a much more sensible reason.
