Haha this can’t be real.
06-14-2021 , 01:30 PM
can we do August 2nd too?

I prefer running it twice.
06-14-2021 , 01:35 PM
If this is true, can we also boycott to ensure that all no limit hold em games are played at 10 handed. LOL.

Full time pro's will make a minimum of $12,000.00 a year more.

Advantages:
1. You will pay a max of $6 a hand instead of $8 a hand at formerly $5+2 cardrooms.
2. The rake wont be $8+0 14+ hours a day when high hands are not running.
3. You wont pay a $1 for promo's when the pot is just $10.
4. Cardrooms will be forced to fix the error of not taking the $1 for promo's at $30 and $50 for 1-3 and 2-5 NLH.

Disadvantages:
NONE

Everything that someone suggests to boycott is always something I don't pay for anyway. I guess I just have good taste
06-14-2021 , 02:09 PM
$4+1 or $5+2? I cant decide which I like better.

Cardrooms would make more money. Increase in demand would exceed the loss of $1 not collected at $50. That dollar's EV is probally 20 cents at 1/2, 30 cents at 1/3.

Why is it always "boycott", why not "womancott" or "ladycott". They can do things too!

Transcott or maybe even bicott? Inclusion!

Sunday? Why not Tuesday?
06-14-2021 , 02:39 PM
A one day boycott and then back in action? LOL. How about you boycott however long it takes until they reduce the rake to a level you feel is acceptable? In the mean time, I would suggest you start looking for another way to make a living.

Even if in some alternate Twilight Zone universe, card rooms were forced to cap rake at $4, Casinos Execs would say. "That's final straw, pull tables put in slots, We're here to make money , not to create jobs for poker playing regs".

Labor costs are going up and will continue. Rake will be going up, not down.

Beginning August 1st and ending when all demands are met.....
06-14-2021 , 03:12 PM

Yo, quit clowning.

Spent quite a few years representing the International, various Teamster locals, organizing representatives, et al.

You are no Jimmy Hoffa. You're not even a Frank Fitzsimmons or Chuckie O'Brien.

PokerHoffa and Maximus215 are trying to fight for all poker players rights to pay low to no rake to the casinos as poker players are obviously the most important clientele for the casino.

Never heard of any of these groups and casinos aren't going to care or change, but good luck.

No real poker player would play live on a Sunday anyway
06-14-2021 , 07:21 PM
A STRIKE WILL BEGIN ON AUGUST 1ST, 2021......

Don't end it until your cardroom is $4+1.
06-14-2021 , 07:32 PM
PokerHoffa can you send this memo out to all the shitregs who stack their chips in increments of 10?
06-14-2021 , 07:40 PM
Poker players of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains.
06-14-2021 , 09:18 PM
Is there any serious organization like the PPA behind it? If so, please provide links.
