Rake bb/100 reduces the higher you play. However rake is not the only consideration.

Historically speaking, sites continue to increase rake and eliminate rewards. That alone cuts into every single player; pros and recs alike. There are significantly more/better bots and regs playing and it's only getting worse, and will continue to get worse. Average skill from all players has also risen dramatically over the years and will only continue to improve. And within the last ~4 years bots, study software and ingame software has hit the games as well.

The fact that someone has noticed bad games at the lol micros shows how far some of the above has come so low in stakes. I mean ffs poker used to be FUN and now there's a bunch of micro grinders treating poker like a job.

Just play the PLO8 $33 nightly and watch the magic unfold. You will not find worse play anywhere on earth than that tourney.

yeah so ? now back to the micros you go

Well you don't want to be "isolated" in the micros too long like some people

Are there Double Up sit-n-gos on Ignition? If so, what is the structure like? Thanks for your help

5 minute levels, 1500 starting chips. blinds are 10/20, 15/30, 25/50, 50/100, 75/150, 100/200, 150/300

I can’t seem to figure out how to correctly “swipe up to play” on mobile. With the new build of the mobile platform, I cannot currently play. I am on an iPhone.

Had same issue using the app. Then typed web address in safari and went from there.

Wow that's pretty brutal, what the hell

Well...for some of us, poker is still "FUN" at the "lol micros." Of course I'm referring to MTT, not cash. To be sure, there are micro grinders treating poker like a job. Some might consider me one of them, but I'm not. I just like grinding a fifty dollar bankroll up a couple hundred and cashing out. Rinse and repeat. FUN.

I never got into playing these but was interested in them at one point and after doing some research I found an old thread on reddit that had the odds of each multiplier getting hit. I just went back and found it again..

"Multiplier odds are as follows:

2x - 74,995 in 100,000

5x - 24,887 in 100,000

15x - 105 in 100,000

120x - 9 in 100,000

240x - 3 in 100,000

1,200x - 1 in 100,000

So, 99,882 times out of 100,000 you're going to be playing for 2x or 5x the buy-in."(Korey729, Reddit.) So you should only have to play about another 250x and odds are youll hit a 15x! lol

Wow that’s gross. Glad I kicked the habit. They’re just so quick to play and the competition was lolsoft at firsf

Totally called it. I posted Finkle is Einhorn? when everyone was posting Jim Carrey stuff in here and it got deleted.

Is the tournament lobby ****ed for anyone else?

Anybody know how to adjust the game to fit screen on windows 10?

Quick question... so i registered my ignition account in rhode island, and now i'm back home in NJ and apparently i can still play ignition zone tables in NJ is this normal and is this allowed?

Call that # and ask

lolz

There's probably more like that but I only looked through SS's first three posts and found that. ****ing pathetic.

And yes, chicago, I play micro stakes. But you sir are nothing but a deceptive pos. And you said my "character sucks" in a pm. smd

LMAO. Nice find! 😂

So Bovada changed the payout structure in the 100k and the 75k highroller to payout 20% of the field. I thought 15% was high. What's next, 50% of the field gets paid?

seems fine, winner is still taking home 18% in the 100k and more donks are finishing with money back in their pocket which is good for the ecosystem. they seem to have structured it fairly well as it's still very flat at the bottom and the final table payjumps are pretty large

It's not terrible, but I worry that this logic of reducing edges and keeping money in fishes pockets might encourage them to keep increasing the % of the field that gets paid.

the edge isnt really reduced tho, ICM is still a major factor at final table and we're still playing 10-30bb poker. in fact, with a reduced payjump from 10th-9th, there may be less stalling leading up to FT which leads to deeper FT stacks and greater edge/less variance for better players who can do more than pushbot a <12bb stack.

average cash is a little less but ITM% increases and games theoretically stay as soft or softer since rec players have a higher chance of "success" in any given tournament. can it be quantified? doubtful. but you have to remember- the more often that rec players lose (less often they win), the quickier/easier they become discouraged/disillusioned and exit the ecosystem altogether.

it's a good change

lagging real bad for anyone today?

Got 3rd in the 100k yesterday. Noticed the pay changes. Its also odd that the jumps are 1 after the realignment of tables. For example 26th vs 27, 17th vs 18
