been putting off trying GGpoker as I like to track my play with HM in session but think I will have to now.
I used to get these "generous"40% challenges where I had to rake in about this much a month while playing PLO100/50 zoom lol.
They were "nice" enough to lower it to a 3000$ one when I haven't been able to even clear 20% of it for months, but even that one would require me to grind like 60-70K hands as I was only playing in the PLO50 pools at the time on Stars.
I am a person who likes the comfort of constant things in their life/hate big changes, so initially I also didn't want to move from PS which I used for about 10 years.
But moving my action to GG was a decision I wish I made much sooner. Games are softer and even with their PVI system, the rakeback is very generous between the base one and their other promotions.
Also I seen some people complain about their HUD/tracker, but IMO it's good for multiple reasons.
A: everyone is working with the exact same stats.
B: by providing HUD to players who otherwise would not use one, they give a sense of security/equality to recreational players. These players probably won't be able to optimally use these stats anyway, so even regs win out on this. It's a win-win for all.
It's a bit of a pain to download hand histories for trackers, and they are a bit off as far as I can tell. But at the end of the day, all that matters is that the site is profitable to play on and is reasonably reliable as well (even if it does have the occasional few sec freeze). Neither of those things I could say about PS recently.
