There are kind of multiplicators depending on what kind of player you are (winning/be/losing). If you´re a winner the multiplicator will be below 1 so that it seems that you pay less rake -> less rakeback. As a loosing player you´ll get more rakeback.

(forgive me my bad english )

I hope to fix small and micro PLO if I go to the Isle of Man. I agree that the games are unbeatable, and something has to be done.

stars just removed their playing privileges down to one table (they have it back now).

they also said they will not stand for anyone informing other players of the bs they are pulling so I would expect that means tempbanning for chat etc.

tbh if it means 10-12% less rakeback for me and at the same time a huge drop in rakeback for 24-tabling shorties I really really don't mind WC rake.

How much a jump is PLO5 to PLO25 in terms of number of fish and quality of regs on Stars? I've been playing mainly micro and small stakes NL (25NL and some 50NL) and looking to transition into PLO. I've got 40Buyins for PLO25, however I haven't played much if any in the past, so thinking of starting at PLO5. Any tips? Thanks!

Most micro PLO players are cluesless (including the regs) but the rake is brutal.

10-12%?? what are your stats? I'm a 12-15 tabling mostly deep table plo 100 player and i'll be losing at around 30% playing 22/16. I agree the shorties are prob goners (+1 for that), but still every TAG is giving up a lot of money here

You are probably the line person on these forums to say that ongame's rakeback is awesome.
I'm having a hard time finding a euro site to play plo50 with +50% rb, anyone care to PM me with a deal?

given what stars has done to sne players im not entirely sure i want to do anything that promotes them.

i already feel terrible for recommending people to play there and standing up for them so many times. i just feel like such a stupid shill right now.

that said, i will probably get around to doing it in some way eventually... ill post here when i do.

Guys, under the new rake changes how much do PLO micro tables now pay in rake on Stars? More or less compared to 888Poker? (http://888-external-en.custhelp.com/...kw/rake/prod/4)
