p3achy won the beginning of his roll through a bad beat promo so he's not a good example

Yea I take back the stuff I said, I think I was just at the wrong tables. Tables were plenty soft tonight.

well technically
rakeback is part of your winrate. its just a winrate u would sustain if u only had to pay 70% of the rake instead of 100%. Its sort of the same difference that live they rake twice as hard so you have to win at an even higher margin to make the same money.

Though I will say that while i was moving up all the way to 2/4 i NEVER used any of the money i made in rakeback towards my bankroll. Its important to see that, though yes its part of your winrate technially, the more important thing in that situation is ur EDGE in the games, and the fact that you have to take your time as you go through the stakes to make sure your edge grows evenly along with your bankroll

Err, the rake is directly taken from the money you win off of other players so it's artificially making your "edge" look smaller. Your actual edge is simply $earned if no rake had been taken out.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that your post doesn't make any sense to me, or at least your arguements don't. I definately agree that bankroll grows faster than skill though.

I play NL50 and last night I was at a table where average pot was $1 and flops seen 3%.

Nuff said.

poker would def be a grind if the tables were like this all the time

qft

The double guarantee's is pretty sick if you play the right tournaments. I love how they are like "we are leaving registration open longer, so you can buy-in even after others bust" aka we're leaving it open to try and make sure the tournaments fill up to the guarantee so we won't have to pay out! Nice guys really. If they wanted to make this PROMO sick they should have said for week two its 2x VPP's AND double-guarantees and just have it keep building like that all through the month. Keeping the previous weeks 2x Promo and adding something to it. Still its going to be a fun month!
