no rake race for February

i assume it was too costly for them to continue the rake races...there will be no rake race and you now have diamonds are forever or whatever it is...i thought rake races were continuing

Re: no rake race for February

yeah the Diamonds Are Forever promo is kinda dumb...if its rewarding only the top LP earner like I think it is, not many people are gonna be fighting for it imo...its really hard to earn the most LPs out of everyone on Eurolinx. The summer rake races were the nuts, why can't they have races as good as those again? C'mon, Eurolinx, we have faith in you.

Re: no rake race for February

question is, was microgaming backing these rake races or was it all eurolinx money. If i was to guess, id say it was part microgaming and what has happened of late in regards to changes in microgaming?? Doyles pulled out as did some sportsbooks who has microgaming poker..loss of business means less money to spread around..who knows. Sorry eurolinx, i have pulled money off your site as youi told us that rake races were gona continue in 2009...

Re: no rake race for February

Would it really hurt you guys that much to give away like 2x as much money for rake races? Surely it would pay for itself on your guys' end, and it'd be good for a bunch of reasons. It'd generate a lot more rake, its relatively cheap (adding like $15k or whatever isn't much for you guys), it'll bring a lot of new players in, and it'll surely keep all the old grinders on there.

I'd be surprised if you guys thought this was a bad idea.

Re: no rake race for February

They might have to pay most of the December reload bonuses in February, hence the savings...

Re: no rake race for February

Lydia,
Can you please reply to this thread and let us know why there are no rake races this month? In the past it has been implied that rake races where a permanent/semi-permanent aspect of eurolinx promotions. Can you please let us know what is going on.

Re: no rake race for February

meh the "no response" thing isnt that serious considering, its bearly going to be tuesday morn in a few hrs, im sure they will get around to it.

That being said im sure they will see a slight decrease in traffic, the Q is how much and if its a +Ev business decission or not, i mean even the Jan races were weak at best in comparison to the past, but if they atleast had the Equiv of jan races in feb it woulda been nice. Now i just want some sort of race.

Of course there is always silver lining guys. Im decreasing my online play by about 60% this month, gunna be nice. Will end up playing a lot of LAPC live mtt events. I understand others might not have this luxury or convience of location and timing, but look to other things that might be more EV for you.;If you cant find them then stick with EL.

Hi Boohaa, I've only played on Eurolinx a couple of months and I thought the Jan races were pretty good for grinders. Can you tell me how the races were better in the past? Higher payouts/more places paid or something?

Re: no rake race for February

Remember when eurolinx eliminated $ tables at higher stakes and switched to all euro denominated tables? Lydia said something to the effect of " We realize it means a slight increase in rake but we will just increase our promotions to make up for it." Well here we are a few months later and they cut out the rake races. Congrats eurolinx you are truly the greediest bastards around.
