WSEX: Official Monthly Thread: May. (#9 of 10.)

[Mike Haven]

Owing to continued demand, again we have a central thread for questions, suggestions, complaints, and general discussion about WSEX.

Keeping everything in one thread helps everyone interested in WSEX to find full information, and those not interested know which thread not to read, so thank you for supporting the idea.

For reference, the previous thread, #8 of 10, is here.

1) Can you please explain why players are still able to disconnect in the middle of big pots and cheat? If you ever want to be a legitimate site, you will stop this behavior and respond to player complaints about it. I have sent numerous complaints to "support" and never hear anything back.

2) THE SLIDER - please fix this. If I start at $400 2/4 NL, the standard raise preflop is to $12. If I doubleup and now have $800, the standard raise is NOT $24. The slider goes totally out of whack when people have more money in front of them. This should not be a hard fix.

Thank you

It is a little late, but an anniversary tourney would've been a good touch and may have appealed to those who are drawn to MTTs. Perhaps a belated anniversary tourney could be planned.

WPX has built up a lot of good will among its poker player base, some of whom may tout the sports book side to non-poker player bettors. Thinking ahead, perhaps the GM can think of a small, 2+2 specific sportsbook promo to draw in new customers for the coming NFL season. I know a lot of recreational sports bettors who've lost their book during the past year and who would be drawn to some sort of token promo to set up a new account with a safe and reputable online site.

The various upgrades have gone very well. The mini-view is a great option. The software and connection issues have been solved. In the course of a year WPX has developed an extremely stable, playable platform that compares well to any leading site.

A Stars type slider for the NL and MTT players is really the final piece. A H.O.S.E. option may get some interest and would not require introducing a new game (RAZZ) to the lineup. If there's not much cost/time/effort involved, HOSE may be well received and may widen the player base.

I think it'd be cool to have some kind of chart that roughly estimates how much rake one is "earning" per hour...where you'd cross the level of stakes, # of tables played at once, and then whether the tables were full ring or short-handed. Perhaps too much variables would be required to do this...but showing people how much they could be making just for playing "break-even poker" would be a strong marketing tool I think

okay not tons, but at least ten, ill try to keep a list. i find out they're bots when i play them headsup. all of the use the exactly same strategy headsup and a obviious one is when they bust at table they dont reload, just site there till the cows comes home.

You mean at a full table, where they sit out for 3 or so rounds until the software boots them from the table, or at a table with just the two of you after some heads up play? If its the latter, that is very good evidence and I would be willing to admit I'm wrong.

And you would really convince me with a couple hundred consecutive hands.

Looking forward to hearing more.

best,

You mean something like a calculator with pulldown menus where you could enter the stakes you play at and how much you play, and it'd calculate your rakeback? Why, that'd be brilliant. They could put it right on the main page of their website!

Whatcha think about that, GM? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Can you disclose the name(s) of the bots? I play there a lot at fairly high limits. Thanks
