and while we are on the topic i feel i should add i will tell as many people as I possibly can how poor my experience playing here was and how strongly i recommend nobody else does. GP and 2+2 mods please pass that on to management thank you I appreciate it.

Can you explain why? Is it the rake structure or something else? I'd probably would have deposited on this site by now but luckily I saw stuff about the high rake on there first.

The high cash game rake structure, very poor and overly raked sng structures, both of which are about the worst offered to USA residents. The removal of hh in chat box or replayer to review in session. How they pay bubble or ladder spots in stts or mtts incorrectly according to every other site or live room n the world, i guess they changed or improved the rules? thats a start lol..The increasingly "confused" more rare communication from site reps on this forum in response to q's or posts. and just my experience as a long term profitable member of the poker community. I do not feel my action is wanted or welcome by the site. They got way too greedy way too fast.

Ya with no rewards and that high rake structure I don't see this site being around if they don't change in the next 5-10 years. They will probably adjust as more competition comes to the US with more interstate playing pools tho.

fixed ur post lol.. but ya they've been around for less than a year i think, and they've went from awesome to AMAYASTARS lookalike imo, they cant be trusted from month to month let alone year to year. Maybe they will get the message and change some things back but so far they do have traffic but its because they keep giving away $ to be raked back in promos not because people are depositing or winning, the traffic #s have to be inflated due to the free 5$ if you buy 10$, Id love to see the real metrics for game traffic, higher stakes just have to be dying.

Basically the whole site is a rake machine, its just the most obv in overly raked cash games they need to be more deceptive about it with mtts n sngs in order to pull it off but they have done it at the moment.

heres another way to look at it GP, if you're going to make the poker this miserable, ill degen my $ elsewhere. Such as sports bets or table games, far easier and more fun than poker, and since you have removed way more of an edge than can be achieved by skilled poker play in games on your site that im comfortable with or willing to spend my time paying you to do, ill just bet NFL playoffs and UFC on bovada and play poker live, and tell everybody why they should avoid your site every chance i get. You got what you wanted way to protect your rec player base!

Thanks for the feedback big bwalz,

We are sorry you feel that way and hope to see you back someday soon. You are always welcome.

All $100?
12-14-2017 , 09:26 AM
I feel you on the high rake. Games have been getting reggier so I've been moving most of my action elsewhere as well. Guessing I've rake 15k+ on this site already with their ridiculous rake structure. Global reps any update on fixing your rake structure or is management's plan just to rake it for all it's worth before you go down?
12-14-2017 , 07:06 PM
I know rake is high but are we all still making money and cashing out, most times within hours? Sure we could be making more but to me, even playing just an hour or two cash games I'm still taking 30-40% more of of my buy in with me. Sometimes 100% or more. Enter table with $200, exit table 2 hours after with $280- $400 is +EV every time, at least for me. I'm staying.
12-14-2017 , 10:29 PM
LOL. Please go away.

this is quite the statement, if its true ill have to look into the cash games here but i find it almost impossible to be factual or able to be proven over any kind of a reasonable sample size so far in this site. I cant imagine people just moving hundreds or thousands of $ off the client day in and day out to play cash games sessions, pros sure but who else and for how long at the loss rate somebody has to be having for you and others as you claimed to be winning that much, in spite of the high rake? Maybe, I guess some are treating GP as a live cash game room with a cage? Maybe im way late to catch up and that is exactly whats going on, but i cant imagine that being sustainable over time, imo.

Maybe you aren't very good at poker?

The fact he has to make a post to people who have no clue who he isn’t declaring he’s quitting shows his delusion.

+1. I haven't cashed out my whole roll yet, but because of the problems you mentioned, I'm playing so much less than I would otherwise. If things were the way they were just a few months ago in terms of the site and with their communication style, I'd be playing more. Thank you for your bold and courageous move and for voicing your opinions authentically. I happen to agree with all of them.

There lack of communication is the reason you play less? The games are still some of the softest I've ever seen, yes, harder in the past month or two but still the softest out there. Is the rake high, sure, are the games beatable to the point where you can negate some of that higher rake, yes. It's hilarious to me that people complain about GP yet will go sit at a live table with 10% rake + bad beat drop + tip. Be glad you have a site with one of, if not the easiest cashout processes out there.

I don't think I am who you think I am. I don't know you by name, your profile says you play cash games, I do not. I acknowledge that somebody is obv beating the sttsjust not by much and surely not over a large sample, I've never said anything about how well anyone is or isnt doing in cash games. I made this post because people such as splaya have stated in the past that if the games become undesireable for whatever reason not to play and to share it with the community, I reached that point and shared that and why. Mental illness or not, its still possible I could be right about something. Joe Mckeehan has some "mental illness" too as do many poker players.

Rake is super high. The SNGs rake is atrocious. Cash games are still profitable, and where I grew my roll. Having said that, I have moved a lot of my action elsewhere because : A)I want Hand Histories B)it's gotten reggier, leading to less profit per hand lately.

At the end of the day, they do what they want with their site. Many players still profit. If you can't profit or don't like it, play elsewhere.

bolded part for reps and everybody else to see

good post thanks, as said earlier itt I MAY give micro cash games a shot. As far as them doing what they want, I get what you're saying, however.. They did add 3/6 and 5/10 cash games, they did slow down the mtt structure, and they did add hypers (albeit not the kind we wanted) after enough backlash or player requests all within the last few months. The rep said in another thread in this subforum that the offerings are always under review. That and other reasons are why I made this thread, and my small novel i posted in the "Dont talk about it" thread today.
