Here's an excerpt for you, sir, plus the author has made an introductory Youtube video.



Actually, I've recently translated the sit list part into English :

The reason why I think that Spinwiz is AIDS is that strong regs can form a cartel (untick each other) and get a weaker opposition on average (or even a lot of 2-fish games if no one ticks them) than weak regs. Personally, I think that strong regs should be content with the fact they already have a higher ITM when seated against the same opposition as weak regs, there's no need to exacerbate this economic inequality. It would be especially grave on the WPN because the jumps between the stakes are 4x-5x, so weak regs would be forced to have way lower profits staying at a lower stake.

The argument about avoiding 3-reg games and thus paying less rake to win the same recreationals' money is hardly valid because, if the poker room thinks that it isn't earning a sufficient share of recreational deposits, it can simply increase the rake percentage like Stars have already done.

Was there a level between $10 and $40? That is a big jump imo!

I'm sure the smaller guys would think the jump between $2 and $10 is really high too because if they only had a few hundred dollars to play 5x more is.

$2, $5 or $6, $10, $20 or $25, and $40 imo.

I hope that the in-between slots ($4 and $20) are reserved for PLO (Don't worry, hardly anyone knows how to play it with 25 bb anyway and you won't get killed, it will be fun.)

In any case, they don't want too many buy-in levels so far because it would split up the traffic. Maybe they'll review this decision when the traffic on the network grows.

^^^- I agree too many might not be good although we can't see how many are taking off to really give good educated opinions on it. The $10 to $40 gap is still big.

I'm all for the PLO ones too btw

Meh, I don't wish to lay the whole thing out there because it's mine and I'm pleased with it

Suffice to say, we work to ensure players aren't often at the same table at the same time.

Unlikely.

I do have a feature in mind, though, that will allow a player to control the number of simultaneous tables, etc. However, that's a ways out in our development queue.

We're still looking that over.

Thanks again.

Will $40s have the same jackpot levels and frequencies as $2/$10? (6% effective rake)

When can we expect the PLO tables?

Yes. Each stake is identical.

I don't have a date to give you.

Do you have a date on the 8 man jackpot hyper don's?

Which way are you guys leaning?

Oh well, as only 4.5% will be actual rake (when 1.5% starts feeding SnC), we can still say that it will be one of the lowest fees out there (only FTP's 4% for the $50s is lower).

Regarding deals, I still think that at least a simplistic 'chip chop' button (split the prize proportionally to the stack sizes) should be at the tables of all multipliers (especially the low ones, which are frequent and attract no rail). It won't do much in terms of variance reduction, but it will make tourney duration a bit shorter (and hence the waiting time for a new game a bit smaller), as when two regs are left HU and the blinds are 40/80 or higher, both are likely to click it and open a new table because they have no edge over each other with such short stacks, it's just Nash push/fold, which is rather slow on WPN's software.

Or at least speed the gameflow up when all the players at the table have animation turned off. There's no need to wait for a couple of seconds until a folded blind goes the other player's way, it's quite obvious who has won and how much.

these count toward snc this upcoming week? 4/18?

I'm sure a lot of cash players would spend a good portion of their CP/T$ for these seeing as mtts can be a time consuming process.

It seems that there is a time delay between winning a JP sng and being able to use those winnings for more JP sngs.

I play on the 5dimes skin and move whatever money I need for what I plan to play. Tonight, I wanted to play just a few JP sngs, so I only had a few dollars loaded into the account. With $4, I load up 2 $2s and win one (the other was still running) for $4. So I go to load up another, but the money isn't there. I go to my cashier, and it's available there, and I can sit at a cash game table with it, but it took exactly 5 minutes before I could use it for another JP sng.





Edit: If I actually sit at a cash table and then get up, then all the money is available (even if it's more than what I sat with), but if I have to wait, then it's about 5 minutes.

You're a genius at finding workarounds, sir, thanks!

:

Yeah I also have this same delay problem so it must be a glitch for everyone, and yeah good work around for now ty.

I don't think that's not entirely how it works though. The amount of rake would actually be extremely player dependent. If a player doesn't get any money from S&C his rake will be 6% (minus rakeback which would make it about 4.8% once S&C is running, for those on rakeback). If a player gets money from S&C, it might be less than 4.5%. That's ignoring the effects of any long term variance of the spins on rake.

Yes, of course, the net rake % for a player depends vastly on how much s/he grinds. I meant simply that SnC is a zero-sum competition (well, almost - a tiny bit of rake is taken out of the WSOP satellite prize pool, and then a big part of it is spent on travelling to LV, where people can't play on the WPN in the first place) - the player pool as a whole gets back as much as it contributes, though the top grinders get the majority of the jackpots.

I'm curious to know how long it'll be before spin to get in is added to these

$40 Jackpot Games will be in the lobby at noon EST.

You should really lower the rake for these ones

Well, I'll be the first to admit I got absolutely crushed in these. Lost most flips, lost when I was ahead, and seemed to get it in bad constantly. I guess it was partly variance but 120 buy ins in a few days is more than I've ever lost in any form of poker. I've been grinding up this bank roll for about 2 or 3 months now and lost it all in Jackpots in a matter of a few days. I was so tilted I punted the last $30 off in the casino.

It was fun, but I don't care to lose this much money this fast and will no longer be playing these. How is everyone else doing? It's hard for me to believe there are many people beating these games..

same, got owned didnt matter if ahead or behind also only got minimum multiplier
