My perception may be biased cause I've been running pure and i got splashed 300 BB at NL100 and took it down lol
I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thank you

We considered this. There are a couple of concerns about postflop splashes, but none that I expect can't be overcome with some creative solutions. Long story short, we wanted to simplify things for launch, and we're still discussing this (and other STP adjustments).

In my
post on the topic, I explained that part of the goal of Splash The Pot was the added variance (and why). Please check it out and let me know what you think.

I understand its just Beta right now I'm just curious if there are any plans to utilize the entirety of the money I've invested in the client no matter how small.
Really loving this splash the pot concept
Also, MTT's anytime soon?
thank you!
MTTs will take some time, unfortunately, but we're working on our roadmap now. It's tough because I so badly want to add the rest of our ideas and gametypes, but I also want our cash game product to be completely polished ASAP, and there are only so many developers to go around.
Once we have SNGs and MTTs, there will be options for utilizing sub-€4 balances. I understand that it's not ideal right now. We weren't planning on launching with 4NL (were going to make 10NL the lowest stakes), but we decided to for this reason.

What % rakeback to regs need exactly?

If you think STP is good for you, great! It seems like almost all players are happy with it when speaking for themselves but some, like you, worry about what others will feel.
I firmly believe that STP is fair for everyone, but even under the premise that it's unfair to recs because they'll play worse in splashed pots, how many sites offer a rewards program that is fairer than ours?

I'm happy with our traffic, but obviously, we're still a new site. We haven't had consistency yet at higher stakes or during low volume hours of the day, but we're going to work towards it. Have you played some? I'd love to hear your feedback!
