I wonder if the Betfair info is ipoker wide. I checked Paddy website and there is no such info:

http://games.paddypower.com/game-pro...ed-maintenance

Also, I just checked and I can play right now. That's interesting. So basically I can dodge a lot of regs at certain hours if I check when Betfair has downtime.

Paddy is really stable for me. Lower average rewards though. I guess you get some effective rake back by disconnecting less often though.

I see tons of people timing out and then I try to play fairly honest vs that and sometimes I see like trips or better in spots where I could easily steal the pot. That's pretty expensive and there are def people that exploit poor connections by snap minbetting. I wouldn't say it's rampant though.

Is it going to affect tournaments?

There was such a rumour in December 2011 (that's all I've found), but then a simple weighted contributed system was adopted instead.

Not sure. But I've heard this from 2 sources.

I don't know man. What are your sources? Industry insiders? If they did, it would feel like a bit of a contrast to their current attitude towards rewards for players. They don't really seem to be trying to reduce rewards for regulars or increase rewards for recreationals.

It's like "Lets give regs 80% rakeback but make it such that if they win it's only 70% effectively." As compared to something like Essence where regs would get like 40% and then 35% after essence or whatever. Do you see what I mean? Would make more sense to prohibit the high reward deals. Though I have heard that they are trying to reduce the returns you can get on say a skin like Betfair.

What, if not this, is the purpose of depositor freeroll series? (Which must be good for the games.)

I'm not saying in general. I'm saying as of recent. Depositor freerolls have been around for a while. They are not a new phenomenon.

Yeah an industry insider. He said its a redistribution of points like the essence system.

Network-wide freerolls with €20K-25K prize pools every Sunday (in select months) are a phenomenon that has appeared (I mean, with such a big magnitude) only this August. A big part of skins' promotional budgets is eaten by them.

Yea, ok seems like a valid contradiction to my point then.

You can set your own hotkeys with Stack and Tile, yes. Just check out the trial.

My sources seem to confirm what you've heard. It's still unconfirmed though but the consensus seems to be that there will be some trend in this direction. I really dislike discriminatory algorithms. I'd much rather no how much I will be paying in fees upfront.

If the RB is lowered to SN level, is there any reason to play SSPLO on IPoker and not Stars? Can anyone come up with a reason to stay?

1) The reg-to-fish ratio will be better than at Stars after RB pros intolerant to the software switch over.
2) The RB might remain slightly better than SNE for the biggest grinders and than SN for other grinders.
3) As the market leader, Stars have more room for ****ing their customers anyway, and if they think they're giving away too much in 2015, they'll amend the 2016 VIP program correspondingly.

iPoker servers are having a bit of a laugh today. There is no scheduled maintenance and I believe that everybody is being kicked out right?

Yesterday my Titan client, after downloading an update, prompted me to agree with amended T&C. The change, as far as I understand, was that the network reserves the right not to compensate for losses resulting from software and server issues

(or what was the change otherwise?).
