there's a commercial software forum where you might be able to find what you are looking for. on a quick glance, there's certainly things which might work. sure, the software might be from 2009, but hey, your strategy is as well so it should dovetail together nicely

thanks for any help!
When I ran cash games on Stars, I distributed rakeback by time played. I can't imagine doing it by pots won. You might come up with an arrangement between the two of you based on who won the HU match, but you shouldn't expect it to accurately align with actual rake paid.

If you don't want to worry about the rake, then use a site like Donkhouse for cash games.

What happened to the unofficial WPN thread? It seems to have disappeared and I was hoping to see if it had any info on what it going on with Blitz right now.

Hello everyone.
Since recently Hungary is running a separate site for GGPoker. At first sight it looks like a change in rake percentages that have to be paid by the Hungarian players (for both PLO and NLH cash games). See the URL below.

If I interpret it correctly: The rake cap will be twice as high for every hand you play heads up or threeway as opposed to the past in which Hungarian players were covered by the rake chart on GGpoker EU.
This is a big loss in profits. Are there some Hungarian players here who are aware of this, who can verify it? Any thoughts about this?

Thanks for the reactions!


https://en.ggpoker.eu/poker-games/texas-holdem/

Stakes Blinds rake % rake cap (2-3)
Middle $0.25/$0.50 5% 2$
$0.50/$1 5% 2.5$
$1 /$2 5% 3$

https://hu.ggpoker.eu/poker-games/texas-holdem/

Stakes Blinds rake % rake cap
Middle $0.25/$0.50 5% 4$
$0.50/$1 5% 5$
$1 /$2 5% 6$

@aprFool

I noticed there is no distinction anymore between a rake cap for 2 or 3 players and a rake cap for 4 players or more if you open the following URL:

https://hu.ggpoker.eu/poker-games/texas-holdem/

If you look at this chart , my interpretation is that the rake cap will be twice as high for every hand you play heads up or threeway which obviously results in a profit loss.

You don't use this link when playing in Hungary?

I have to tell you that i' m not operating from Hungary at the moment. Instead i' m a Belgian considering to work and travel in Eastern Europe and combine it with playing online poker. One of my options is Hungary, so i try to be well informed before leaving.

check your 1st link and if you looked closer you can realise that the caps are the same!!!
the last column has the same amount as the 2nd link you shared (when it is short handed then the cap is half of it, second to last column)

anyway it would be impossible to do what u think they do. ppl put $$ in pot and the rake is taken immediately no matter who's gonna win the pot or what country he is playing from!

Ok i think i looked at it the wrong way. Thanks to clarify.
But still (following the second chart) the fact that they don't mention that the cap is divided by 2 if played shorthanded, is very unaccurate, in my opinion.

Either way, you made me look at it from another perspective which was very helpful. Thanks!

GG is pretty good as it is; just make the improvements. Remove PLO5C, add higher fast-poker tables with lower rakes, add PLO5C fast-poker tables, make a landscape version of mobile with two to four tables on the same full screen, add Pokerstars cash-out option (1% cost), run it 2x maximum (no extra cost), and have it shown if the other has that option on (CoinPoker).

If straddled, have an option to decline it by default, and also when suggested to run it x-times, to insurance. Get rid of the tiny freebies in one way or the other. All freebie tourneys as more relative and to PLO only, and make the PLO tourneys a two-stack thing -- a free rebuy or a fill-up. Call mom.

Make the card numbers on the corners a bit bigger, and make it possible to use the F-keys to fold at the active table w/o the cursor being on the table (Pokerstars). Pool only, the regular tables to be like the fast-poker tables. House races: rewarded by the dollar amount bet, raised, called, as contributed. The below EV runs giving much higher rakebacks. Call dad.

Remove all regular tables, ban NLH cash, remove the NLH turn betting round, add half-pot limit holdem. Remove 6-max in favour of fast-poker 4-max, and the SB becomes the Button if folded to the SB - the rake also becomes a heads-up rake, lower 4-max rake. The MTTs should start as fast-poker and be deep enough and 4-max. Nits banned.

Maybe Christmas came early and they banned all Russians / Belarussians from online poker.
