All the games are paused for a while

cash games are up but can't register for SNGs

You guys bich and cry for Cake never to allow huds then you complain about traffic being low.

Well guess what traffic will never be high if Cake does not allow Huds. So your going to have to deal with this forever. Unless Cake allows Huds .

I disagree

I find it interesting that some people can only play well with software assistance.

I for one enjoy the fact that Huds are not allowed, because I can identify the players at my table based on good ol observation.

Fish don't use HUDS. More fish, more regs. More fish + regs = higher traffic.

Lee, any comment on the double deposit problems? Sounds like a number of people have had this problem. Maybe it's an issue with one of your cc processors?

I never complained once about there not being a HUD einstein, I am happy there isn't one allowed on cake, The fact that almost every reg has said this time last year the cake games were juicy with lots of traffic and ever since around Jan the traffic has declined, isn't good new's for ppl that play often on this site, you probably couldn't be further from the truth even if you tried man.


Looks like i'll be withdrawing my roll and moving to another site very shortly.

Waitlists are bugged for me, whenever I join a table it timesout and I cant join it. Anyone else?

People speculated that the S/MSNL games may be drier because it's not really sports season anymore so players from sports booking networks aren't really logging on.

Although if tables aren't shared like they once were, I'm sure that's a large problem as well. But Mr. Jones said it was only temporary.

anyone here cashout on Players Only recently? If so what method did you use and how long did it take?

Thats fine but don't complain that your site does not have traffic.

If Cake allowed Huds there would be more traffic. Im not saying that the games will be better with Huds im just saying Cake is handicapping there site by not allowing Huds. No Huds=lower traffic/lower profits for Cake.

OF course the players who don't like Huds will be happy with Cake/ Theres no argument there. BUt just expect traffic to be low.

The non use of HuDs is not whats lowering traffic. Its some of the skins not putting their games on network.

Why is this happening, what has changed?

Can you please explain how the lack of HUD reduces traffic?

I think a case could be argued that the lack of HUD actually increases traffic.

quadaces please stop making assumptions itt and provide us with facts if you think that you're right.

i mean why has cake always had good traffic without allowing huds and then all of a sudden traffic went down?

could it have something to do with: http://www.gambling911.com/gambling-...ts-060909.html

if you take a look at pokerscout you will see that all online sites are suffering, so on behalf of everyone here, please stop posting.

if you get disconected during tournament you can email support and they will check on it and refund you the money.

I was in the 2k guarentee back when i played there and we were on the FT and down to 3 people left. i was 2nd in chips and got disconnected and couldnt get back in. Contacted support and they said they would check into for me and see what they can do. The next day I was paid for 2nd place. I was also in a HU sng and got disconnected and the next day was refunded the buy in for that as well.

Wow are you guys for real? The only people thAt HUD's would attract are grinders. Now, why the *** would i want that?? Fish have no clue whats HUD's are and if they did I really dont think they would spend the money for it because they dont play often enough to justify the purchase.

Yeah quadaces' argument is idiotic

The part you mentioned in bold is a false statement.

actually according to this article Cake pokers traffic is up 3%. since the seizure of funds. Check article below.

is the only way for US players on cake to cash out is via check for min $500 with $35 fee ?????

Anyways what's your point? It just further proves that you're wrong and it has nothing to do with HUDs. But thanks for pointing out one thing in my post and completely ignoring the fact that you should just stfu and continuing hud botting it up on Stars/Tilt.

Hi folks -
A few points:

1. The WSOP is going on. [1] Every year, the WSOP creates a gigantic black hole into which a substantial portion of the poker economy's M1 disappears. Games everywhere else (including, perhaps particularly, online) get skinnier. This will correct itself beginning right around the Main Event.

2. A lot of people head out on vacation about now because schools are getting out all over the place. When they're camping in Yosemite or sunning themselves on the Italian Riviera, they don't play as much poker.

3. It's the quiet season for sporting events. People who are primarily sports bettors, but play poker as part of that world, are not as present in the online poker environment. This always changes come the autumn and NFL.

In short, this too shall pass.

As regards HUDs, for the foreseeable future, Cake will not permit HUDs or any tracking software that allows you to evaluate the play of anybody other than yourself. You are welcome to disagree with this policy, and I know some of you do. However, please don't bring constantly bring it up in these forums; it just creates clutter that overshadows other discussion.

You are, of course, more than welcome to contact me via PM or email to tell me what a wrong-headed policy this is, but please don't constantly beat this dead horse in public.

Best regards,
Lee Jones

Anyone have any opinions on the UseMyWallet deposit option? Cake is no longer taking my Visa card.

Thanks.

This is awesome, please keep your policy on no HUDs!
