My claim is true because of common sense. The more someone plays on any given site .... the more rake / profit the site will make. This isn't up for debate. Someone that plays 10 hours a day ( winning / losing or break even ) is going to generate more income for a site then a rec / fish that plays 10 hours a week.

That's not how it works. Global is open to American players. Recs dont play because there are 'lots of tables' they play there because they can play there. If anything playing vs. more regulars runs the game for them and scares them away.
That is exactly how it works. Recs play on the most attractive sites that are avalible to them. If they sign in to a site a handful of times and don't see the game they like playing running or lack of option for the game / level they play then they will move on to a site that can provide it. Guess who keeps these tables/levels running that recs like to play ...... its the regs.
Obviously lack of options is another reason why players pick certain sites.

This is also the reason I'm against opening up the market to eastern Europeans etc. Once they come in they carrion feed for their $2/hr and within a year the games and site are dead. How do we know? Because it happened to every other site that ever was. This isnt something that might happen. It WILL happen if dolts like you get what they're asking for.
Sounds like to me you are just trying to keep out players that make it harder for you to win. There are plenty of reasons why past sites didn't make it. Having loads of loyal reg players hasn't been one of those reasons to my knowledge.

So you want the site to give that profit back to break even players....what can I say but what a genius idea. /s
I never said that .... I am advocating for bonus / kickback for all players. Dep bonus ... raked hand bonus ..... time bonus .... lots of ways to do it. Giving these type of rewards to loyal customers is the standard in the poker industry.

I'm all about rewarding losing players. Breakeven or slight winners can piss up a rope. The only thing they're loyal to is their mediocrity. The second they destroy the games on global they'll just go be carrion feeders on another site. They dont give a crap about anything but pressuring sites to make bad decisions so they can feel slightly better they haven't completely wasted their time.
Again this is just you wanting is what is best for your own specific game and not what is over-all better for the majority and the site in general.

Just being honest. If you were in my shoes you would likely share my opinion.
Another statement that further implies your argument is based on your own specific game and ability to profit instead of whats best over-all.
Quote:
I dont want break even players to turn into winners. I want them to quit poker. Every. Last. One. If you were a winning player you would too. Rakeback will do exactly that, so I will fight against it happening.
Lol ..... there will always be break-even players ... there is no game without them. If today's breakeven players quit then the slightly losing players become break-even and the cycle continues.
