iPoker confirm network split to iPoker2 - Page 8 - Internet Poker

I believe Jamie from PokerVIP himself posted this information higher up in the thread a couple of days ago; not saying it's incorrect (if fact it looks 100% correct to me), but this not a "confirmation", just a weekly newsletter from the same person saying the same information.

Fwiw my understanding is that the change will be transitory in nature; many skins will remain in the primary pool and be measured over the following 1-2 months as to their player numbers. We'll have to wait and see exactly what goes down tomorrow.

i dont say that this is incorrect... only that the guy show it as a official confirmation

even doesnt have to do with pokervip, it could be aswell pokerstrategy or bonuspokereverwhere.com

as long as playtech doesnt gives an confirmation or a room it is useless

The reason is that the bigger rooms bring in most of the fish whike the smaller rooms brings mostly regs with high rb.

So i guess they are cutting the rb off in ipoker2.

Partially true. The reason is that the small rooms take away players from the big ones directly (i.e. when the small players eventually grow up and get estabilished) offering under-the-table RB, which is prohibited on iPoker for a long time. Nevertheless, the higher stakes tables will continue to be shared across iPoker-iPoker2 so the grinders can continue on the small rooms worry free.

To me it seems like it's a marketing move since every news site covering it says the pool will be fishier... followed by an affiliate link. Shady move imo.

Not true at all!
Most revenue comes from small stakes grinders and they will eventually move away so the big grinders have everything to worry about because some small skins will go for a last reload bonus aka final money grab.

the hu tables at both boyle and titan are the same, and both sites are presenting the same number of players online and tables.

Yes, but obviously they only name their partner rooms. Is there any official list with all skins?

Quote from the mentioned article:

When the network divide takes place, the traffic in player pool 1 is expected to be a much friendlier playing environment with significantly less grinders and sharks at the tables. This is a great reason to join one of our partners in player pool 1.

I've been seeing this everywhere ever since the split was announced. This is why I think this split is nothing but a s***ty market ploy by iPoker.

Also I like how the iPoker website doesn't mention the split.

Guess we will have to wait until iPoker releases an official statement regarding this matter.

They also:

remove 2c/5c cashgables in september (but keep 2c/4c)
remove all 1c/2c HU tables
remove 4max tables
1c/2c buy-in will be $2 instead of $5

+ some smaller cosmetical/enhancing gaming experience changes

But still curious about iPoker1 & iPoker2 activity. I am estonian and thats why I can use only one pokerroom, what is on smaller pool. Anyone can compare both pools activity: 25NL to 100NL?

I Think Tier 2 is right, the Main Room of Betmost is William Hill and in Tier 1

edit:
Tier 2 (betmost)
up to NL 50only 15 FR Tables
and round about 35 SH Tables

Tier 1 (titan)
Up to NL50 aroud about 35 FR Tables
and round about 55 SH Tables

Betmost is Sure in Tier 2!
