I've been improving/playing a little cash on Bovada, but I still won't do it here. I'm not gonna pay that extra fee to give money to a small group of players - it effectively IS extra rake for me, and most other players. Tournaments are another thing, I think WPN does OK on. Not perfect for sure, but everybody has their own preferences so I'd think that no matter how well they made their tournament schedule.
I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, as I don't really care much (use WPN mainly for tournaments) but I'm just saying I don't really understand why it's done. WPN can get way more rake out of me playing at a .10/.25 or .25/.50 cash game than in a 5-10 dollar tournament, yet completely de-incentivizes me to play cash unless I have the time and mental ability to play more volume than the Beast Regs....
Anyway I digress lol since this is hugely off topic anyway.
