I guess my pcs pretty bad then lol, my i7 16gig pc must be out dated. Lol but that's not the issue, the point is if majority of grinders are having issues multitabling cuz of lag what not, they should get it fixed. It's not you it's not me, it's the majority of us as a whole.

Interesting development! As I predicted earlier in one of these threads, Merge will start offering new incentives in their attempt to retain some of Lock's players and to attract new blood.

According to this: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/14...twork-1203918/

35% RB on the Merge network is back, BUT most importantly those who are currently on the VIP rewards system WILL have the option to switch to RB!!!

35% on Merge is actually now the entire story as many of you know. The effective RB is actually 50% if you use your points for mtt entries, and take advantage of monthly reload bonuses.

I love competition!

nice... of course revolution is offering 36% rakeback..just a little more than merge..hopefully a lot more players will move to revolution instead of merge

some of us who earn primarily from playing not folding, prefer 35% contributed RB over 36 dealt RB, and it's not even close. But it's only a matter of time before Revolution will have no choice but to switch over to contributed RB method, once they reach the necessary critical mass in terms of minimum liquidity supplied by the regs.

Merge uses contributed, Cake uses dealt. Since Lock bought Cake they will be using dealt after they make the switch. Merge isnt switching.

you're right, i misread him. anyways what are the advantages and weaknesses of contributed vs dealt methods? most people are saying that dealt is better.

It's complicated, but yes, basically everyone will earn more rakeback under dealt method vs. contributed method.

Shane alrdy stated that they will be switching as soon as they can in the future.

I think he was referring to new lock

Is there an article or thread that explains how everyone is better off with dealt?

I can see how super tight grinders are better off on dealt, but I still would have thought the agressive guys would have been better off with contributed.

Okay I will literally give sombdy a virtual b.j. if I can get a confirmation on Kentucky players allowed action on revolution. I'm so tired of rocking a mullet because that's the only way to get n ky home games

Can someone tell me if the contributed method calculated rake paid off pots won or just what a played contributed.

For example, two players play a session hu for 100 hands with $1 rake taken from each pot. Now it is easy to figure out each player contributed 50 cents to the rake each hand. However, if player A won 60 hands out of the 100 since the rake is taken off the pot does that not mean he actually paid out $60 in rake as opposed to player B who won 40 hands and paid $40 in rake.

Thanks for your time guys.

I'm sure theres a thread somewhere but for 99% of winning players dealt > contributed. You start seeing exceptions at NL200 where there's more reg on reg games. Anybody that plays below those limits and is in favor of contributed is a fool.

Save the BJ please.

The only state that won't be allowed on the Revolution network according to Shane is Utah. So looks like Kentucky is good to go.

Hope this helps

I am not sure if this is true. If the rake is calculated off the total pot then a winning player would benefit from the contributed method. Seems to me the dealt method benefits limit players the most since almost all hands see flops as opposed to nl where there is alot more hands where there is no flop and therefore no rake taken.
