No idea why they would move or delete that

Is anyone aware of when or if he Beast will go back to a 50+5? I've started grinding again but can't play on most Sundays. Now I have to unregister from the 90+5 satty to get a tourney ticket, but they don't have other 90+5 tournaments. Is this intentional? A big benefit of the Beast for me each week was that I could get into the tourney, unregister, and use the ticket in whatever 50+5 tournament was in my schedule.

I also now have multiple 90+5 tickets. Can they be sold or exchanged somehow for tournament bucks, or whatever the other payment method is?

Id imagine there will be no going back to 50+5 as its been almost a year now of the 95 tix, prob somewhat intentional so it helps out the numbers they get for the satty each week. But like many others im sure, I wish there was more options for these $95 tixs

I'd be shocked if they changed this strategy. As far as I know, they've only had $95 tickets for the Venom satties/cyclones and the satty for the $630, recently.

It's all a funnel to the big, special MTTs. They want to make sure they hit those guarantees.

At the end of the day, it's still a reward, but I'm on board with the frustration.

Bink the Venom and you'll feel better.

LOL.

Even if they properly respond, what do you expect them to say? "Sir, you are correct, our live blackjack is rigged in our favor. **** YOU! We are taking your money anyways!"

You need to play something crazy like almost 20k hands a week to hit the $50 bonus so take that FWIW. Ask yourself, do you play 80k hands a month at 10 blitz?

Yes you do. There's a search feature to look for your name in the leaderboard here:
https://rakerace.winningpokernetwork...eaderboard/ACR

If you don't see it, you're probably too far down to list but you do have the beast points. Maybe this week, try doing 20k hands of 10 zoom. I'm sure you'll see your handle listed as qualified for the $50 prize.

not really that hard playing 20k hands @ 10NL. If you can multitable, combine 5 tables of 10NL Blitz with 7 regular 10NL tables, and you'll have a nice tiled 12 table view. You can hit 20k hands over the weekend doing this.

I'd just like to share that for the entire month, I noticed there were a ton of casuals playing 10NL both regular and blitz tables. I'm getting very good action. I think this is good for the player pool overall.

When a post is deleted for what seems like no reason, a good place to start is to see if the post you replied is still there - when we delete posts that are a derail, we often delete replies as well.

I'm so excited for the scheduled software update later. Can't wait to fast fold by pressing "F" before my turn to act.

WPN Software Update
* Fold hotkey will now work for fast fold in Blitz Poker

The bots have always been way overrated. With that said, yes there is still some bots, but the games have been pretty good for awhile.

This is absurdly uniformed.

When the Pokerstars PLO bot scandal went down it was discovered that 7 of the 10 largest winners at PLO100 that year were bots. Chess, Go, poker, esports. etc. Bots are overrated? You don't know what you are talking about.

I agree that it's absurdly misinformed. Even if bots don't win over a particular solid player, they compete with us against recreational players. This affects everyone's win rate negatively.

I've done a lot of 10 blitz (1+ million hands at WPN). All I can say is if you have the skills to beat the level in Zone would not be different from blitz. The fish that you see there are still fish at blitz. The only difference is you can spot the fish faster because they allow hud on blitz...and they go broke faster as well. Against other regs, you will not make much money from them if at all with or without hud.

They say you are at a disadvantage against other regs at WPN who use a hud if you don't. Well, yes, but then again, even with it, you don't want to get involved in a confrontation that yields very low positive expectation.

In a nutshell, if you're a winner at zone, blitz won't dramatically turn you into a big loser.

Thank you for this post. I'm a winner at 10b over small sample so I was wondering if zone was so much softer that I would 2x my wr but after playing there over the weekend I came to the conclusion I dont like there software and the traffic was pathetic for a holiday weekend in comparison to ACR. Also the pool at 25z felt about the same to slightly softer than 10b but not to the point where I felt I was in an aquarium. Overall the superior software at ACR, i play on BCP actually, makes up for any extra variance i may encounter in a supposedly tougher pool. Also RB+LB!
