No, I'm not drunk, and if I wanted to troll I'd have come up with a better troll.

Full segregation of entire player pool (ie Lock plays only Lock, etc)

Cashouts become faster because Lock doesnt have to pay skins anymore.

What do I win?

You seem to be doing a pretty good job. Scares me to think about your trolling talents.

Do I get added to the Jah block list now?
03-01-2013 , 05:21 AM
No, I meant the ppl telling me to stop posting can add me to block list.

Have to go grocery shopping now so I'll leave you with this: Someone has already nailed it.

It should. I just never consider it worth my time to get a proper elaborate troll going.

how did you read "rly rly pissed" as "****ing ecstatic"?


To the people yelling for me to just throw it out there consider that even if I do post it, a lot of/most people won't believe it until the network reps confirm it. It's that ****ed up.
03-01-2013 , 05:36 AM
I got it, right? Lol, I have an feeling it's the winnings cap for some reason.
03-01-2013 , 05:53 AM
Jah you said you would throw it out if some one guessed it. At least I think you did.
03-01-2013 , 05:58 AM

So is it like Everleaf or like Party?

pretty big difference
03-01-2013 , 07:51 AM
what's going on????
03-01-2013 , 10:42 AM
What's going on is:

In case you thought the number of 100NL+ tables was quite large (it wasn't), now traffic will virtually dissapear.

Winners will be forced to play against winners on winning player tables so there will be no tables (think of a HU lobby where fish never join) that regs can see running, and fish will play against fish on the tables they can see (fish tables), no-one will win or lose long-term on those tables so it's just lock getting all the deposit money veeeerry slowly via rake.

I'm sorry sir, but intertops rep stated this will happen around the 4th of march. Surely you don't expect more details a whole three days before deployment.

I have a strong feeling they were gonna go the way of Party and not announce anything until it was in place and someone figured it out

**** Off, Revolution!!

It would follow that when you say "the network provider", we are to understand Lock Poker, or its parent company. Would that be a fair assesment?

I've only recently started playing on Revolution, and I'm like 17 buyins under EV in ~20k hands.

My winrate is probably -20bb/100.

Will I be ranked a super fish, and for how long?

And, for the record, this is complete horse$hit.

I'm really confused at this point. Does this affect tourney players in any way?

The Intertops rep said Lock is the only skin that will not be sharing their player pool. Does that mean only in cash, cash above certain limits, all games(including tourneys)?

If this doesn't affect tourneys and cashout times improve, then good news for me I guess.

I think it is only cash games 1/2nl and above.

I kinda like this..... pretty sure the categorizing is only to separate Lock players from the rest of the network. Plus side, LOCK HAS WAAAAAY MORE FISH.... Seeing as lock is the network provider, they really wouldn't do anything like this unless it were better for their players and worse for their competition (the rest of the network)

You don't understand. What you're talking about lock has already done before this. Weeks ago.

Lock has already segregated everything 1/2 and over from the rest of the network. So if you're playing Lock you see all the network+lock tables up to and including .5/1 but anything over 1/2 you only see lock tables. Same on intertops or other skins, just that at 1/2+ you see all the network tables except the lock tables.

What is happening now is the network provider(Lock??) has decided that all the skins on the network (lock,intertops,cake,etc) will have a special software or sth that categorizes players as winning or losing (obv it's more complicated then that but there's not much info out there). Winning players only see 1 kind of tables (that have other winning players) and losing players get to play with losing players. That is on top of the lock/network segregation of 1/2+


Again, just to be clear, I'm simplifying the whole winning/losing player concept because there's not much info about what the categories and/or criteria will be, but you have to figure that considering the size of the player pool (especially 200NL+ where there's barely any tables most of the time), it would be impossible to have 3 different lobbies for three different types of players

Think about this:

If a losing player deposits and sits on a table with all regs, he will lose his money fast and a few $ of rake will be generated in the few hrs he plays with the regs getting most of the money (and paying rake themselves of course, but getting higher RB than the fish).

If a losing player deposits and plays only losing players, basically no-one has an edge so they keep trading money forever (again, simplified). But rake is taken. So in the long run, all the fish are without their deposits, the site keeps taking rake until they take all their deposits and the losing players are busto not because they lost to a player on the site, but they lost it all to rake.


Net = On the first kind of table, rake made by the site is way less, and rake paid by the regs is less b/c they have higher rb (they play more)
In second scenario, ALL the deposits of the losing player go to rake and less rb is paid on that as well.
