I am an ambitious guy trying to climb the stakes and make money playing cards.

I am definitely not the smartest guy out there, but I have been making some money playing NLH 6 max cash.

Current situation is :

-GG poker : getting raked huge , receiving only 13% avg rakeback from platinum
- WPT global : Tagged as pro -> They hided the soft tables from me forcing me to play mostly against regs -> Cut my rb to 0%
- Apps : Agents are banning me for making money
- I cannot play on Ignition,Stars etch


What is this ? Where is poker going ? Why do players accept that ?

Poker is supposed to follow chess. The whole industry though pushes it to become like blackjack!

A new site has to be created ! There should be an alternative! eg Poker without rake , but with an affordable fixed monthly payment which would scale the higher you want to play.Or at least offer this option for regs and keep the rake for recreationals . Better do reg wars whole day ,than bumhunting ! At least when you loose, another guy out there is making a living!

I dont get this ' play for rakeback mindset' . I know that there are poker beasts playing for rakeback. Imagine what they would win in a game with less rake !

What do you want to become ? A blackjack grinder or a chess pro ?

I know that you may argue ,saying that there are massive HS winners . And I will agree. But not everyone has the talent ,network to climb to 5k+ (+the rake structure is way better there).
But even in the HS, they mostly run when there is a spot.

I hope to see a shift in the whole industry before I get too old.

Sounds awfull, sorry to hear that.
Do you live in USA? What about live games?

No I live in Europe.. There is not a poker room in my city..
I have never played live cash. My only live experience comes from 2 live tournaments
Moreover , I feel like live poker is too slow paced
