THIS. Is. F'n. ******ed.

Slows it down, wasted computer resources, and just so gimmicky. Whoever thought of this idea should be moved to the janitorial staff. Where crap belongs.

yeh the rake is insane also at PLO at 3% uncapped! I play 1/2 there in the past couple of weeks and have payed over 4k in rake. So sick.

But won a bunch? hehe

Dont know how this will factor in, but the big splashed pot goes straight into your balance (>20bbs)

Unfortunately net down 6k.

Is there any way to download tournament histories in bulk? It looks like in Pokercraft, I have to select one poker tournament at a time, download that and then unzip it, and repeat for each tournament, which makes zero sense.

damn man, hope you run better

If someone wins a seat in a satellite and then they re-enter another for the same game and win that one, too....what happens? Like the GG Masters, if you play them all week, do you win tourney bucks, cash, or ticket to the game only?

Yeah, I've mostly played some PLO 100 and 50 r&c before earlier this month. I've been done with poker for a while (and never played anything other than hu sngs and hu cash games) but wanted to check out these crazy promos that they've been running, so I made a deposit just to test it out since I had free time this month. Made a post earlier in this thread about how much rake I payed there overall, but it was under 10k hands on each.

This time, I thought that the rake race would be easy at these stakes and that I could probably win it because the number of raked hands seemed much lower than the ones at 50NL, 200NL, but nope. There were some people playing 18hrs+ a day lol. Was not worth it to finish it in the end but whatever. Probably got like 80-90% rakeback overall, all things considered, but you have to realize that things like this won't last and are just transient (i.e. the promos). I gave the example of ongame promos earlier, which this is what seems like to me. That was network was eventually run to the ground by the amaya group too

Still to pay ~$1060 rake at 10 NL over 5 days is just insane lolz. The poker model prior to Amaya and all the sites lowering rakeback was like one of the big 4 leagues, with roughly 50-50 revenue split between the reg players and sites, nowadays it feels like it's like the UFC, with 85-15% and a take it or leave it type of attitude.

GL to all you poor souls still trying to grind it out online these days

I never had one of those in my sample so far (~50k hands) so was not even taking those into account (isn't it only one every 100k hands on average tho?).

and I was down net over $300, and like I said, that's with a 80$ spin, 110$ in bonus cleared (and forgot to mention another 25$ in deposit bonuses from the lucky 29 promo, so closer to $1100 in rake).

Of course I got a lot of "rakeback" too, but my point is that how is this sustainable for the fish, who don't use affiliates, likely don't really play volume for any promo type rewards, get raked at 6.25% of every pot, and have most of the people in the player pool being reg nits (at 10 NL!).

And now they introduced the spins of which 50% are worse than the pokerstars flash (10bb deep), and only 25% of them (i.e. 5x or higher) are played at 500 bb deep.

Pretty much the definition of rake trap.

Hi

I play with high volume midstakes nl100-nl200. Has anyone made calculations about the rake at GGnetwork?

I mean you have the fish buffet, you can hit a jackpot hand but you pay shitloads amount of rake to the room.

Wondering if the rake is beatable and if the info about the promised cashback is right (fishbuffet) and if the numbers add up

cheers and GL

can i use table stacking programs on ggpoker?

Yes and no, depending on what Terms and Agreements you have read.

No external assistance programmes are allowed on Natural8/GGPoker

Anyone knows how to disable river card peel on AI pots? ****'s annoying as ****.

So what is the punishment for using such ? Because I've seen prominent streamers both on GG and Natural8 use hotkeys. Also don't tell me most of the R&C robots don't use hotkeys when playing 16 hours a day.

Seriously, how can one site come up with such useless, annoying stuff and implement it without consulting someone who actually plays these games. It's not enough you have to click 2 times to make sure you don't want insurance, while slowing the hand down by 1 minute if you don't click on it, that's not enough, now you have to compulsorily peel rivercards, wtf.

All some 3D poker, and peeling cards for river...
They don't belong to the poker.

Maybe lets slots players using this

I am just curious how stupid can be software programmers" Let's make river card peeling!"

They are pretty smart bc i can guarantee you the players who are VIP for GG will ****ing love features like insurance or the card peel.

The smart regs probably understand that while the stupid ones rather have the chinese and israeli reCs grind somewhere else

This industry never ceases to amaze...

Yes, VIP players must absolutely love waiting the full minute with their 5% for the river to come while someone times down their insurance because table didn't jump into foreground, that's some smart design.

Not denying fun players love that, my degen friends love the thrill of peeling cards and ****.

I just want an option to turn it off.

Rome wasnt built in a day!

I have a feeling itd much closer to capped sites , much closer then ppl think bcs most pots are smaller and dont hit cap. With the rakeback and promos my fees paid about 6bb/100 ... unless my calc is way off. Also depends on how lucky i got on big hand jackpot... my calc over 30k hands ive yet see anyone post their own findings.
