IMO anything that online poker rooms come up with (rake,promotions,points etc) I think the first ever people to complain are long term loosing players who don't realize it.

I have couple of SNs that I checked upon even while I stopped playing poker and these guys grind day in and out, and have been around trough different updates. I still come up across these type of players when I play.

My conclusion is that wining players will always be around as long as their game works. If it takes 5 more MTTs per day to beat what ever the rooms put out, these guys will do it. First to complain are just the deluded 99%.

Obviously it's fine to complain about downtime and lag, but if your skill depended so high on that 1-2% rake, than there's something wrong with that person's view of their game.

Just my opinion.

PS: am not super uber pro myself, just an observer

Holly smokes OP you could be the next Sherlock Holmes with this masterful detective work

Tighting players always complain second.

Excellent thread, OP.

Great to see a second post in 3 years from you Captain.
Welcome back.

completely agree, more rake is better for players.

loosing players......

cheers to super uber pros

Good point OP.

And you know what I've also noticed that winning players almost never complain at all.

I’d be complianing too if I was loo sing. Those US gymnastics judges can be so biased.

They should play tighter

I am not even a super lyft pro. Explains why I am so behind the the curve of these super uber pros

I don't know the virtues of being a loosening player versus being a tightening player, but this must be an
to drag Cpt. Obvious out of the ether after three years. Outstanding second post, Captain!

I trust everything online. I just found out from a distant cousin that I am 7th in line to be a Nigerian Prince! I just need to send him my entire life savings, social security number and a blood sample and he will validate that I am indeed royalty.

I don't want to second guess him because I don't want to sound like a losing 7th in line Nigerian prince. Only the winning 7th in line Nigerian princes know that this is legit.

I admire your self awareness OP.

just one question, have u ever seen how much rake u've payed?

Most table games rely on 1% or so house edge. This is basically like saying wtf if a casino can't afford to waive banker commission or knock a number or two off their roulette wheels and still print that money there is something wrong with that casino's view of their game.

Losing player here; I'd like to complain about this thread.

Nice.

Do loosing players play too loose?
Or do losing players play to lose?

1% is gigantic in the long run. Not saying you are wrong, but saying that 1% rake increase is nothing is just wrong.

wrong thread; loosing players only

pro:
knows the difference between a set and trips

uber pro:
knows the difference between slow-rolling and slow-playing

super uber pro:
knows the difference between lose and loose

this part here, this is some eye-opening ****: "My conclusion is that wining players will always be around as long as their game works."
