That's the point of this thread. I'm not ready to leave PO, but this is pushing me one step closer.



How many points you got?

he's only won $1.20 so I'm guessing he doesn't have enough points.
lol

No but the point is valid we are paying the 3000 added with the buyin. every time i have played there has been over 30 every game so far.. So with the buyin is there really anything added?

3k is added on top of whatever portion we pay to the prize pool. I have yet to see 30 players in a game. Maybe the 10 pm gets that number, but it would be the only one, the 1pm and the 4pm I played had 10 - 15 players, the 7pm gets around 20.

Again.... when you were paying 150 points per game for the Merge games, did you ask "how many of these points go to paying for the prize pool"? NO.

This whole conversation just stinks of "entitlement".

do good players ever worry about rake?

How do you get that out of us paying the 3000 added? really? are you serious? doesnt sound like entitlement to me, more like wheres the 3k added? we can have a pissing match if you want but in the end there is nothing added... I also dont remember seeing points added back to my account for the tickets i had left when we quit playing on merge.. had 4 unused tickets....

Im not bitching about the games as i choose to play im just in agreement that there is really nothing added, we are paying the added.... to me it should be like 120 +30(for rake) and then after the prize pool is established then there should be 3k added but when you reverse that there is no added anymore... The juice should NEVER be higher or even remotely close to the buyin, not a chance!

I dont really care either way im still here and will be still playing as time goes by, just my half pennys worth LOL

Personally I don't worry much about the rake factor, until the leaves start changing color.


But seriously, in all fairness, yes it's an unheard of amount of rake in the general online poker world, but all Zab is trying to do is make games available to us in the interim, he still has a business to run. If a few games require a higher rake for them to be on the schedule, so be it.

*facepalm*

oh god....... get over it donkeys.... its a 3k added tournament.. the rake is irrelevant... holy... shit...
