I just checked out ACR for the first time. Seems like false advertising, rake rape, and illogical MTT design:
The Bad Beat Jackpot is at $100k. I sat in at a small stakes table and tiny pots got 42-to-50 cent rake taken out. So difficult to make money by playing well there....and difficult to make money off the bad beat: 10% of the $100k goes to the HOUSE, 30% goes to the next BBJ seeding, so the BBJ is really $60K right now (false advertising) to be shared by the 2 guys in the hand and the players at the table. And, I always thought I preferred the casinos where they say the loser can have a nice Full House Beaten by Quads or a Straight Flush, since it is so much more unlikely 2 people get at least quad dueces or better on the same hand...but many casino poker rooms say you gotta have at least Quad dueces. But ACR says you need to have at least Quad 8's. Ouch.
And the MTTs...there seems to be almost no choices of $1-$2-$3-$5-$10 buyins, for which I always thought many players would be available to buy into on any site. Why would they focus on $25 buyins and not sub-$10 ones to increase traffic and build customer loyalty? I just counted a grand total of NINE MTTs all day that have buyins under $10, other than satellites.
It seems they really want to cater to cash game players who will [pay to] chase their tiny chance at a BBJ.
