Sometimes poker players and its community are really disappointing
. I've tried bringing up the issue of there being $6 taken off the table in a live 4/8 limit game to the players who play it and they...just....don't....care. I had thought online players were different. With the concerns I see posted, it makes me wonder if anything will ever change. I'm suddenly not encouraged.
I see this as being huge. Unfortunately I don't think everyone is on the same page and it wont be. This is the only time this has ever happened in online poker's existence that I'm aware of, and I'm not sure we'll get another chance. I don't see that sense of urgency here unfortunately.
It is what it is and if people can't see that we are the traffic, or are so limited that they will not attack this issues because there's not 50 full ring games going and all they play is full ring, then we are doomed.
I don't think there's any legitimate argument to lowering the rake anymore if this doesn't succeed. Anyone who complains about it or posts about it again will suffer the fact that it's not a viable argument and has no substance. I'll be skipping those threads and will take my medicine because of the masses. However, I'll always seek to pay the least amount of rake for myself personally, it's just a shame that others will not have the same determination and I'll always be the minority. Tough to get things done as a minority as is, but fortunately it's not impossible.
