No more £200 max buy in 50p/£1 nlhe?

No more £200 max buy in 50p/£1 nlhe?

It's obv killing the 1/2 game.

1/2 probs aimed at people who buy in for 200 at .50/1

1/3 at the deeper 1/3 games

No £200 on .50/1 will kill that game off! No way will they get the usual 3-5 tables of per night.

I was hoping to see a little tinkering to rake on split-pots in the DC game.

I know that I have hardly played at all lately but that would definitely encourage me to donate again.

£10 cap? My pocket hurts

Will say though, I do like the changes in the BI's/Limits etc. Think they will work really well. Reducing the 50/1 cap to 5 is pretty cool too

Hi Guys

These changes are not set in stone.

As always with any changes we will monitor them and react accordingly.

There is no doubt that making these changes will work out cost effective for the £0.50 £1 and £1 £2 games, we will monitor all other games with £5bb or higher and also talk to our regular players such as DC, if a £10 cap proves to be too high for these games we will reduce it.

Cheers

Its very hard to come up with a solution for not raking split pots. If you dont do it, the game makes no money.

The only thing you could possibly do is no rake in pots with only 2 players, but thats so difficult to moderate

Does this mean no .50/1 on deepstack weekends as used to be the case?

Must admit, the .50/1 with the £200 cap was perfect for my bankroll, and although the capped £1/2 game isn't too bad (if any actually run, previously the capped 1/2 would never be offered, and capped 1/2 games would become uncapped due to player-pressure), it's not going to suit a lot of players.

I am a customer, and probably shouldn't say this.......... but I don't see any sensible argument against raking split pots.

Why dont they just have session charges on the mix games?

I am not suggesting not raking split pots in hi-lo games and never ever suggested that, tinkering was the word I used.

I do believe that in a hi-lo game where the pot is split the rake should be halved or you can often end up with situation where two players split the pot and both lose money which is not sensible in my book.

Similarly, I can't see a good argument why the rake should be halved for a split pot.
Basically, you are saying that, overall, rake should be reduced for split-pot games, but it is probable (I don't know for definite) that the DC games already generate less rake per hour, than NLHE games, as each pot takes longer to play out.

As for session charges, I don't like them as they encourage people to consider leaving the game every 30 minutes, which can lead to games breaking much sooner than they otherwise would.

Dc is larger stakes and generally wilder, esp as equities run so close pre, so more money despite the slower dealing.

2/2 plo at my local rakes well over double what the deepstack .5/1 hold'em does an hour, even though they get less hands.
