Was like molasses the last 2 hours for me, constantly timing out on all rush tables before my hand even showed.

Sitting out every other hand and taking forever to sit back in

Been playing all this month and it's been lightning fast every time.

From Thailand.

Anyone else experience these things?

How does amount won via ggpoker rakerace affect your rakeback? I'm trying to figure out if it's better for me to play on gg with no rb vs n8 with 50% rb.

help appreciated.

I unsubbed from your PGC because you are in favour of animal cruelty.

Because shaming someone online always has the direct effect of giving them the same moral clarity as you do. Lmfao.

I'm on N8 currently, do not have Rakeback. How did you obtain 50% rb?

Started couple weeks ago, wish they'd lighten up the software some, doesn't run smooth at all. Too much riff-raff that's not needed, even the player popup does not load at times.

Hi, I'm slightly confused about rake in short deck. If the pot is small then it is all good, and rake seems 3%. But if You go all in it does become something like twice that somehow. Is it how it is supposed to be?

I've just about had it with GG. I decided to try it out around start of April. Over the past month and a half I've played 60k hands of 10NL-50NL as well as about 50 tournaments and a minimal amount of the other variants in order to achieve the honeymoon challenges. Everything started out very well and "naturual". I quickly moved from 10NL to 25NL and dabbled in 50NL. Didn't have a losing day in the first two weeks. The honeymoon challenges were all reasonable until about day 25 where they became -EV to even bother. For ex, in a bounty hunter tournament, place first. In AOF, beat your opponents JJ hole cards.

Around mid April I won a tournament for about $900 then finished third in another for $500. After this point everything went to ****. Bad beats and coolers non stop. I am on a $1900 downswing and $800 below EV over the past 20K hands at 25NL. I have had about 30 preflop all-ins where I have been 80-90% favorite that I have lost. AA<AK, AA<JJ, AA<AA and my KK is -$358 during this stretch. It's been totally unreal. And the frequency with which the premium pockets are received and come up against other premium pockets is very unusual. Over the 60k hands, I've received AA x 280, KK x 268, QQ x 311. Whereas I've received 22 x 189, 33 x 192, 44 x 152.

To top matters off I recently got cockblocked out of completing my Fish Buffet requirement because for whatever reason they took 4 days to process my MuchBetter deposit which took 15 minutes in the past.

Rake is outrageous.

I'll try tournaments and stay away from the cash games and other rake traps.

3% x size of pot capped at x, depending on the stakes. quickmaths

Lol, I know how to count percentages It's just different for big pots. But I figured it out. Extra money goes to the flush jackpot.

My experience with GG poker has been horrible, im a PLO player, first the rake in low stakes is horrible, the bonuses and Rakeback deals with affiliates makes it look like u are in to make tons of money, at first i was breakeven sometimes with losing sessions but i was cashing my bonus easily and going up in the fish buffet (Even when u get the lowest rakeback in the wheel like 99%)

Then i started winning with a pretty high BB/100 and i wanst getting fish buffet points LIKE NOTHING AT ALL, it was like somebody pulled the brakes in my rakeback. PVI is so shady, at least tell me exactly what my PVI is.

Oh and lastly, maybe i look like a crazy person, but there are some maniacs i have seen using straddle playing 94 VPIP that somehow run like the sun, they pay with ANYTHING u just cant beat them they seem TO ALWAYS have something

Would I'd like to know is what are the VIPrakeback deals that we people talk about and where to sign up?
Keep seeing 50% RB offers, what is that?

The fishbuffet is just a built in poker rewards that each player gets, I get that.
What are the deals that I can get on top of the FishBuffet?

Doing an analysis on the PVI rake, rakeback etc. to see if the games are beatable with a main focus on PLO. Does anyone have any input on:

-Their PVI factor. Ranges between 0 and 2. Like is a decent winner around 0.5 or more like 0.25-0.3?
-The prize distribution of the Fish Buffet spins. The prize ranges are shown here: https://www.natural8.com/features/fish-buffet . My guess is that average prizes are more around 30 or 40% or even less instead of the exact middle (like $550 when a Shark spins for a prize between $100 and $1000). Could anyone back this up with data?

Thank you. Any input is appreciated. I've been scrolling through this thread and I found only one guy who shared his Spin prizes being close to the middle of the prize ranges but without a sample size.

Anyone had the problem in tourneys... when you are moved to a new tsble you cant get seated there and just blind out?
Even when you go seat me... nothing happens.

3 busted instant... and we were 3 handed without me being able to open the table... they blinded me out 3 handed and top 2 got seats

Ok now i m sure that for Negreanu,Patrik Antonious,Fedor Holz,Elky and many others MORE RAKE IS THE FCKNG BEST THING.
Why?Because they take bigger checks for their support to scams.
I played 25k hands this week PLO1000,PLO2000,PLO5000 i count the rake 32k $ by 12bb/100.I was looser at net won this week so i should take good rb. I took 6k....
20% rb.So GG and all this clowns take from me 26k$ per week-1,5m$ per year,and i take some videos of PROS playing games backed from their sponsorships.

p.s NO,i am not big winner overall to assume why i took so small rb,its my 2nd week on gg and the 1st week i was 15k$ winner on netwon and i took 4k$ rb from 27k$ rake.

I really dont understand why still all these people who support scamming,who brings the biggest poker festival as WSOP on a scam site, are still appreciate by poker community
