Apologies if this has already been answered - but when you get your HH download the day after playing what format is that please (HEM2 compatible ?)

Looking forward to splashing a few pots tomorrow Good job Phil.

From the Run It Once thread over in Internet Poker:

This lol

sucks, but thanks for the answer

Sorry if been answered didn’t see on last few pages ....any dep bonus or promotions when they open?

Thank you! As far as I know, HM/PT aren't quite ready to support our HHs. They aren't that much different from other sites - someone during beta even used an online replayer that worked properly (surprisingly!) - but we do have Splash The Pot included in them, which will surely cause some issues until trackers accommodate them.


We do have a deposit bonus and our streamR program (which I've discussed in previous runitonce.eu posts). Details of everything will be up on the website tomorrow.

Thanks so much to everyone who's ready to support us. You may think I "have to say this," but it truly means a lot to me and to all of the people working tirelessly to make this launch a success (hopefully).

Tomorrow will be a very, very important day for me and, if all goes according to plan, I intend to make it a very important day for online poker.

I almost never play NL HE or PLO cash (other than within 8-game), but I'll deposit 10 euros and have a look-see - hoping for more mixed games and SNG/MTT action later.

I was actually on your list for beta testing, but I was unable to play both times I was invited, otherwise I'd have just played the 30 euros bonus like crazy!

If I double up my 10 euros I'll cash out my deposit and then do the crazy thing anyway.

GL!

Good luck sir.

expected abit more "revolution" in rgds to rake.

while yes, it's cheaper than stars or party it still uses the old and stupid system which results in way to high rake in BB on the lowstakes and way too low rake on 1k++

these days you arent really competing with Stars or Party for traffic, you are competing with unregulated chinese apps who are using an entire different (and for lowstakes and micro players) way better rake system.


which NL50 or NL100 player would be playing for 7-10bb/100 in reg heavy games if you can play in 3-4bb/100 NL60 and NL120 games with 3++ recreational at each table?

I am so hyped for this! Best of luck Phil and the Run it Once tram, and everybody that can, get on and play on RIO poker on Wednesday!

Those games sound gooood!!

Looking forward to the new TimStone Poker site with barely noticeable rake!

I'd take 10bb in reg heavy 100NL games too.

You want to withdraw? Sure. Pay 5%-10% more from your profits.
You're playing in a good club? Buy insurance (moar rake).
You won a lot, but couldn't buy insurance? Get hit with a 5%-10% penalty.

And don't get me started on bots and teamplay on higher limits.

i didnt came here to make this a debate reg sites vs apps.

i'm just surprised how favourable people look at the introduced rakesystem here.

all this is, is more of the same bullshirt we had for over a decade now slightly cheaper than current mainstream competitors.

micros and lowstakes gets eaten alive by rake in bb/100 while highstakes is paying next to nothing. aspiring players will have an insanely hard time moving up the ranks ("the dream") bc rake is annihilating them.

galfond had a chance here to make a real sort of revolution in rgds to a fair rake system but it didn't happen and i don't think it will even when reevaluating numbers

That's the kind of info you'll find over in the Internet Poker thread that's been linked a couple of times.

IT is LIVEEEEEEEE

client seems slim ... can't see tables though ... no games running (yet) or am i too stupid?

Yeah ive deposited but can't seem to join a game yet

Pools aren't open yet. Join discord

wanna see a poker site that does not rake cash game chop pots.
its cancer for both recs and regs especially for micros

I am not gonna lie. I expected 3% effective rake at the very least. I was hoping for 2% on the lower stakes.

But one got to take into account that RIO is in a difficult spot.
They have almost all the costs of a fully fledged poker site (rent for office and servers, salaries for staff etc.) but in fact they will be running only half a poker site.
A few pages back we looked on some graphs and saw around half of the revenue of a poker site is coming from sng's and tourneys. This is completely lost on RIO rn.

It could even cost more than half of the revenue cause a rec getting smoked at the cash tables might dread "those nits" waiting to play Kings all the time" and leaves but still wants to play poker, so he hops in an SnG.
If they are rage-quitting cash tables on RIO they will close the client entirely.
Add to this that RIO is probably 12 to 18 month behind their worst case schedule... They might need some money.

That being said, I really hope that they slash the rake down to 5% for an effective rake of 2.5% in the near future.

Where is the mobile app Philly? You can even do it on browser (like some microgaming sites do)

100 players on NLHE and PLO already ... grats to the team

Anyone streaming yet?

I see three streamR broadcasts so far. Each has about 100 viewers in first few minutes.
