Recs typically don't 4 table. If you're not 4 tabling, you can get around this easily by opening up a new table before leaving your current one.

I think you guys are really overrating how much recs care about table selection. I got a friend at home who makes good money has been a long time loser at poker like 10+ years and he doesnt care at all. He plays 1-2 or 2-4 and is a complete degen. Its hilarious when u watch him play omaha or holdem hes the dude punting stacks or running big bluffs. Anyways every once in awhile he runs his account up a bit for a day or 2 moves up higher and higher and then loses. If he gets a good amount he'll cash out and then redonate said money later.

I've never once heard him talking about table selecting. He just clicks on a game and plays. The guys who care about table selection are the regs and bad regs not the big fish donating money to your games.I bet if i ask him about this change in two weeks he doesnt care in the least bit. Hes playing for fun and to gamble not searching for the best seat on a certain player or searching for the fish since hes the fish.

a rec can't be the 6th player to sit on a table?

My card catcher HUD isn't working on Bodog since the update. Have made no changes to anything.

I have been disabling auto post blind. Then i open a table, sit, open another sit another.... Stay on the ones I like, close the ones I dont like. Repeat. Not so bad.

that's definitely possible, but we're talking about averages here. With clockwise seating, other regs get the opportunity to wait for a table to pop up with a rec player at it and take the best position. Games are unlikely to fully start before a rec sits down, and once a rec player sits, the table will likely fill with regs pretty quickly. Obviously this isn't always the case, but I think that with this clockwise way of seating people, the seats to the left of a table starter are much more likely to have rec players than the seats to his right.

You guys don't get it.

This was implemented to lower the income of winning players.

I think we get that.

Yes, until you hit your table cap.

And the way they do that is to force regs into playing regs. They recently increased rake, and now take even more game selection away. I've never been one to "cry" about it. It's their business and they can do as they see fit. Just sucks.

If fun players end up enjoying the speed of the new system and play more or join the site it could work for everyone,

Nope , You actually still don't get it

Fix

No, I do get you believe the site is doing it to make more money... That's not news. Quit or go play ACR.

I play at em all

Maybe next you can give us an explanation on how to breathe?

I ****ing hate this new update to be honest. It's so bad. Going to drive away recs because every ****ing table I open is HU or 3 handed. What rec wants to play 3 handed. The tables also break so fast. Recs, and **** it even regs, are going to get pissed having to constantly open new tables to replace breaking ones. This is soo bad. Having such a hard time getting 4 full tables open..

How is ACR compared to Bodog games?

Rec players are going to join the site because they heard of the new system???

Recs don't care about game selection or rake. So Ignition is jacking them both up. It's been going on a long time now and it is what it is.

Honestly, there's only 1 possibly good thing that comes out of any of their changes and that's that regs leave. At the rate Ignition is going, there will come a day when rake is so high nobody can beat the game. Watch and see. This will go for all online rooms. Oh, except for Galfond's apparently :-)

No money online poker, everybody is solid

I'm honestly not too sure as it has been a while since I played on ACR, and can't any longer bc of the state I live in. But I'd say they're worse. I assume this because of the smaller player pool and more accurate use of huds thanks to screen names. By worse I really mean just slightly not as good. Also I played mostly NLH on ACR/BCP, now I'm playing PLO on Ignition exclusively.

I know this wasn't a great response but I figured I'd do my best since you quoted me.

Either way good luck on both sites!

All that is not lost on me or anyone.What I was saying is anything that makes it easier for the Avg person to play can only be good for everyone If a site makes it super simple for "joe Blow" to find a game they may play more or prefer said site.

How is this system better for rec players? It's slower, less transparent, and more confusing. Both regs and rec players are going to hate this. I'll be moving my money off Ignition if they don't fix it quickly.

Not sure what you mean by slower. I was actually able to get tables at off-peak times... This rarely happens.

This is really a problem for the less popular games like LHE and LO8. I'm willing to play either game at a wide range of stakes 6 handed or 9 handed. Previously, I could get a good idea of which games were going (if they had empty seats), but now I have to keep guessing. It's just empty table after empty table. I gave up, and I'm sure a lot of other people are giving up too.

They really should tell us how many tables are running at each type of game.
