blonde poker forum

Can anyone shed light onto this little anomally for me.

Most online sites, when there is a rebuy competition, will have the buyin, lets say $10 + $1. Rebuys are not raked, so to rebuy its simply another $10.

Why does tribeca charge a rake for every rebuy?

Cos they are nawty :(

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

who cares about the rake the rebuys there are exellllllllent value!!!!

I care about the rake! I would care less if I had a rakeback... But I would still care!

Micky, your choice to play them or not though.

Ub charges a rake on their rebuys.

Quite true. But if you don't moan you don't get anywhere. Look at the gambling bill, if people had actually put up some form of resistance it might not have gotten in. But everyone was far too complacent.

cos they are Money Grabbing swines....that and they have terrible software lol

Agreed Micky, but this is Tribecca we are talking about - They just dont give a shit about whatever you say.

Too true mate

maybe Dave maybe but why bother about the rake on the re-buys when everyones going crazy and you have maybe 3 re-buys on a bad night , so much dead money on those games and the extended stt games on tribeca are just a licence to print money, those stts upto the $100 level are some of the easiest on the net

the software and site is shite tho.

I honestly hate rebuys, Cant stand them and dont play them

Paradise charge on them too.

Orignally it would be 10+1 each time, back in the day when it was just VC on the network we complained enough and got them to change them to 10+0.5 each time. So although you pay juice on rebuys at least its only 5%

The software for me is the best, very easy to use, the betting box is very good. The speed is good, i cant think of a site where you get more hands /hr. Throw in the large amount of rebuy tournaments (rebuy comps present the best value, a good player's edge in a rebuy is massive) i dunno what you mean in terms of diffrence between software and site. I guess the players, i agree they are shite! Happy days!

we will always disagree on this one, i just hate Tribecca, the graphics are shite, and i dont like the system.

I hate rebuys so that will push me away rather than attract me, plus the rake on all rebuys is shocking

I haven't heard you say this before

i have always voiced my opinion on why i dont like Tribecca, mostly on the internet board.

i cant think of a site where you get more hands per hr flushy, ill put up with with rubbish graphics any day if it makes you money, not that i dont like them myself , i dunno maybe cos thats what im used to now.

Dave not for me to give you advice but by not playing re-buys ur missing out imo

I stopped playing Tribecca when they started these rebuys that were $20+2 with rebuys also @ $20+2.

There was quite an outcry at the time and I believe that they since amended to $20+1 with rebuys the same.

IMHO it's total bollx.  ;starwars;

I like the layouts of the tables, i don't want silly men sat around the table or silly Icons like on full tilt (a site where you need a magnifying glass to see your cards because of all the clutter!!)

Like you say Cambo, if you don't play rebuys you are missing out on $$$

i know!  :D

anyway have fun guys im away out to play a pot limit re-buy comp shortly  :D

FAO Cambo and Flushy:

Thats your opinions that im missing out, however, when i go to play a freezeout, i get proper play right from the start, ill pay my $3 or $5 and if i lose i walk away only $3/$5 down, however....


when i play a rebuy i get idiots playing like clowns from the start, if i get AA, Kk, or QQ and the like, they will usually get outdrawn as there are 2 / 3 callers to my all in and they get sucked out, making me rebuy for another buy in, this might happen twice or three times therefore ive paid 4 times more than i planned too

so id rather play my $5 and if i lose i lose minimum, than pay $20 and be even more frustrated that i lost 4 times as much!

as i say thats your opinion and your entitled to it, however, its my games and my money and ill play as i see fit.

Wow some serious Tribecca bashing going on, I love tribecca, I use 3 different skins but mostly blonde, As for teh rebuys, well its a preference, I dont like MTTs all that much unless they are live, The stts and the cash games are soft.  My only gripe is with the tribecca wide freerolls, I would love to see blonde only freerolls using your aps that way, could make for a fun tourney.

Aye ok, you got me. need to be on my toes with yous old timers now eh, i thought it was just guys like flushy

 ;stickaforkinme;

Fair do's i guess its all about why you play, for the enjoyment or for the money.

Billy you know my views on Tribecca and rebuys, dont act surprised mate.

Precisely, not everyone plays like you or Cambo, we are all different and have different views.

I love Big Macs, Janet loves KFC, but we still cuddle up at night. 8)

The software is ace, definately one of the better ones out there.

And there is a lot of dead money. Plus rebuys are where the VALOOOOOO is.

Oh FFS Mikky, read threads before you post mate.

The software is great, nice layout and everything you want to see is there - if only they would bring back the "last hand" feature, atm its in hand history which is hard to read when playing.

The hands per hour is a HUGE factor - no other site I play on gets anywhere near the hands per hour TRIBECCA does, cos its just so damn fast!

I'm not acting surprised mate, I genuinely am surprised that so many people dislike tribecca, but there are plenty of poker sites out there and they all want more punters so the choice is available.

If you dislike FTP, Tribecca or crypto (grr) then you have more choice out there. I was always a fan of the WPT site before i found Blonde and Blue Sq.

To each their own, have fun live in peace and get nakkid with your significant other  ::)

HOLLA

pwned

SHHHIIIIPPP IIIITTTT

hugs and kisses

Billy

 :-* :-* :-*

no worries billy mate, i just find it funny why people act surprised when i mention not liking Tribecca, when ive never hid it.

My two fav sites are:

FTP and Crypto, with a little dabble in Stars (very like FTP IMO)

all the rest i have a slight problem with, the worst being Tribecca, but then, i am a VERY Picky man

Its a shame tho, as i really want to play and help out Blonde poker, but really can do something i dont like to do so, other wise id hate playing poker  8)

and sont start all that Dale p*** patter, its shockingly bad

 rotflmfao rotflmfao :)up

Dave you have heard the arguemetns on the value of rebuy tournaments vs the static prizepool of freezeouts. The potential return vs amount of wonga spent, and the value of a tournament against the overlay (or underlay).

lets face it, none of that is important when you dislike rebuys for no other reason than having your aces cracked by the same loon that you will meet in a freezeout as well as a rebuy. You are entitled to feel that way because its your money. I just dont think that the reasoning is sound. Im not intending to have a go.

No mate, you know nothing about MY situation or what i want from poker, therefore DON'T call my posts mince. when i play for MY reasons not everyone elses reason.

Thanks for Listening Mikky, and read this through properly before replying.

Mods there is no problem with these posts guys, were just discussing.

Its the words of Scotty Nguen - its all cool baby xx

charging juice on rebuys and having 75bb stacks in some of the ring games are two of the most rediculous things I have ever seen in an online poker-room.

Oh and Mikky, what do you mean by an underlay? you been fitting some carpets for a bit of pocket money?

Its my word for negative overlay :)

Dave, I appologise for calling your reasons mince. It wasnt meant to bait it was meant as a (backfired) joke. You are entitled to your reasons and personal situations should always dictate what you should and shouldnt play. ..

Its just Ive heard the reasons why you hate rebuys before, when we used to have this discsussion on a weekly basis :) and your personal situation was different then. I assumed wrongly that your reasons where still as they where back then.

Phew.

 :goodpost:

it has nothing to do with my personal situation at all, i just dont feel like you cannot play proper poker during a rebuy stage, its bollox.

freezeouts are the way to go, and im happy with that, weather im loaded or pratted.

you apology is accepted tho, cheers

Cheers for that Dave didnt realise that about the rebuys, I too shalll give em a wide berth. I like the overlay but it looks like there are takin the the piss withthe extra juice. I did think there were far to many rebuys.

I dont like the software either but cant cope with it due to the soft stt's.

Add another gripe to add to the list, the amount of time it takes to re-balance tables in MTTs, it does my head in!

You can be sitting 6 handed & every other tables got 9 & it can go on for ages  ;frustrated;

Flushy, with Full Tilt just disable the avatars & choose a blank background, it makes a huge difference as I hate the fussy graphics as well.

i think trebbecca has the best layout for finding games, the best mix of games, just dislike the blind structure, most games end up as 8xbb stack crap shoots

flushy aint daft he knows this matey, he just loves sticking up fot Tribecca lol

Give him another site to stick up for, and Im sure he will :D

tribeca pwnz

I really like the  Tribecca software. However, I seldom play there these days.  My reasons for this include the fact the tables are so large for my laptop screen. I like to play a couple of STT at the same time and the constant switching around between 2/3 tables is distracting.  My main concern arose from a record I kept over a 14 day period.  I used one of the tribeca sites and compared it with pokerstars for reliability.  On tribeca I had 9 disconnects while playing STT, on pokerstars I had none. As  I have a limited bankroll, I need to have 100% faith in the software I am using.  With Pokerstars, I have confidence it will not cut out on me, but tribeca has let me down so many times a decision had to be made.

I still regard tribeca as one of my favorite sites for appearance, the manager chat option is a great idea as well.  However it has other aspects which don't appeal to me .  I will continue to play at the Blonde site as I feel loyal to the Blonde forum, but tribeca does have it's obvious flaws in my view

I'm confused as to how the discussion got onto a freezeout vs rebuy argument. Each type of tourney requires different play. If you aren't willing to rebuy a few times then there is no advantage in playing a rebuyand you're just adding dead money. If you're normal mtt stakes are say a $10 tourney then if you are going to play a rebuy it shouldnt be more than a $2 entry.

tribecca re buys are great apart from the juice which is disgusting.

I used to hate re buys but now i love them, the play after the re buys with deepstacks is where the real poker happens

I agree that the raked re-buys are poor. Not a defense but they are not the only ones who do this and they're not the most expensive.

Take Paradise for instance where the rake is 'hidden' as they take 9% of the total pot at the end and so in effect are charging 9% of the re-buys and addons too.

I play on tribecca mostly because to be honest it is the site where I have made the most on a consistent basis - I have got used to it I suppose and know the most people there (inc the blondites) which makes it more enjoyable

Re-buys v freezeouts?   Horses for courses!   (This is not a dig at Flushy!)

Yeah its just how small the cards are on Tilt! Twice i have re-raised all in with 89 thinking i had 99.

I stick up for tribeca because i like it, i have played on every major site and IMO it is the best.

Table balancing is being sorted in the next upgrade (i believe) in that the last hand thing will come back aswell.

The extra rake i don't like it but its a price worth paying!

this may help

or perhaps an eye test?

You know that saying "Shoulda Gone to Spec Savers" lol

There is an option to click that shows the full card in your hand (rather than the half card that it defaults to. Have you spotted this?

They are still small however.

If the holder of a Pilots License cant see em what chance have the rest of us got?   LOL

Yeah i have it on big but i still have had problems!

lol   I was thinking this.   I ain't going in his plane   

I agree though, the cards are small  for me to see as well and I have good vision

Absolute fekkin Quality lol

When I first started using tribecca (to support blonde) I hated the software, and just didn't get on with the STTs, which are the mainstay of my play. Therefore I cashed out and just left in my small profit from the cash games I had been playing.

Now, I play very low limit NL cash while reading through the forums (mainly to support blonde, if only on a very small scale). Im still not a fan of the software but have come to tolerate it.
Also, the cash games are very loose, and profitable. It's all them crazy Irish players...lol

Tribecca graphics are fine by me!

My only gripe is I seem to suffer more horendous outdraws on there than i do on any other site!  There are too many muppets who think nice looking cards translate into good hands!
