i don't think these guys understand that if you don't have recs depositing then there cannot be rake generated.
these guys think amaya are bothered about the bumhunting, multi tabling rake back grinders (who think they bring something to the table), obv they don't thats why amaya have cut the rewards and want to be rid of them.

If the guys a local:

If the guys not a local/ is a southerner/ doesn't tip/ wanker to dealers or just in general a bit of a knob:

Initially we banned them.
Then I started smoking them so had to lift the ban.
On a serious note, I think they are fine unless people blowing vapour over other people and directly over the table.
I think it's a common sense / etiquette thing.
Assuming they don't turn out to be toxic killers in 20 years of course...
amazing quote - i own the place and i like em so we unbanned them - love it

it does seem a lot of chips but it gets a few runners and normally best part £!k for first. i like it because you get a few chances to do ur stack in rather than one missed flop after raising and cbetting leaving 50% ur stack gone.
the cash games are starting 8-9pm now as there is a cash game race to win a brand new car.
i think top 30 playoff for it or something like that

Poker Forums / The Rail / Re: Which Training Site?

Im gonna sign up for a training site and wondered if anyone could help pls?
I mainly play cash PLO 25c/50c - $1/2, the odd $20-$50 tourney and little bit .50/£1 cash live.
I was gonna try DC and maybe use the 7 day free trial offer and after that try RIO for a month.
-Is RIO really worth the $99.99 mth? - can anyone rec videos to watch first to get the most out of the free 7 days at DC as i'll prob be only able to watch 5-10hrs max in the 7 day period - are any of the smaller sites worth bothering with? i read bad things about the one Tony G's pokernews took over not releasing any content, no refunds for cancellations etc

When i first started playing poker few years ago the impression i got was that the better you got the bigger you could build a "roll" and so then you can play bigger games/ tourneys. Before i knew any better i thought that the people that won big tourneys actually won the money not 10/25/50% of it and that it seems fairly normal now for someone to win an €1m EPT and finish up owing €100k's out for overselling themselves.
The guy that really shocked me was on another forum and finally put a figure on his makeup at $170k (with not very impressive sharkscope graph and few mediocre live results). This is extreme i thought but the thing that amazed me was that he was saying his results would be better if he hadn't paid 70k in rake. Not rake back - he was trying to say if i hadn't paid the rake he would only be 100k in the hole and that was living expense!
Like wtf?! 100k living expenses? i was wondering how many young guys must be out there 10/20/30k etc in make up thinking it's no big thing but meantime in the real world it's an obscene amount to basically owe someone when you have no skills (not even social skills according to Neil C blog) apart from being a mediocre poker player thats on the wrong side of variance.
Now i jus think that at some point theres gotta be a sort of credit crunch type meltdown but what do i know, obv these guys backers been doing what they do as long as they have and they know what they're doing.

How far does a horse have to get before they get fired? i read another forum and a guys saying he's $170k in makeup, but he's a winning player if you dont inc rake and living expenses? Is there gonna be a point in the future like the credit crunch where lots of the backers money eventually runs out with tons of players in makeup which they cant pay because they cant play?
Wtf is that about? not inc rake! so if you dont take rake into consideration then to me you're a losing player is that not right?
I was shocked at the guy trying to argue he would be $70k less makeup if he didnt pay rake and most of the rest was living expenses. How stupid can people be ? not just the horse, but the backer to carry on giving this moron thousands of dollars to carry on digging a bigger hole for himself? If he's using stake money to live then surely the guy thats giving him the money shouldve realised at $20k down rather than nearer $200k that the horse is lame and get rid?
