Daniel Negreanu's rough but true Youtube speech

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:16:27 GMT

Daniel Negreanu finds some honest words: After already writing about the Full Tilt Poker scandal on quite a few of his blog posts, he recently published a video on Youtube.

This video is probably hard to take for Full Tilt owners like Howard Lederer, Chris Furgeson or Ray Bitar.

But watch it yourself - start at minute 6:00.

Update on iPoker Networks Rake Calculation Change

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:42:43 GMT

As we reported before, the iPoker Network is going to change its rake calculation method. In about 6 weeks the Playtech owned network is moving from the average contributed method of calculating rake to the weighted method of calculating rake. This change will affect every single poker room in the whole network. iPoker is following Pokerstars and Party Poker which have recently changed their rake systems too. However, Pokerstars and Party Poker have changed from the dealt method of calculating rake to the average contributed method.

Methods of Calculating Rake - Overview

Dealt Method:

This is probably the most unfair calculation method. The rake taken from the pot is divided by the number of players dealt in the hand. Even if you haven't contributed to the pot you will get your share. However, many professional poker players prefer this method because it favors their tight style and their high volume play. The recent 'mass sit-out' player protest on Pokerstars has shown that regs aren't happy about the rake calculation change.

Average Contributed Method:

This is the method the iPoker Network is using until March 1st, 2012, and Party Poker and Pokerstars have moved to. The amount of rake taken from the pot is divided between the players who have contributed to the pot. So you have to put money into the pot to get credited which seems less unfair from an overall perspective.

Weighted Contributed Method:

This is the method the iPoker Network is going to use from March 1st onwards. The rake taken from the pot is credited to all players who contributed to the pot in relation to the absolute amount of money they have put into it. If - for instance - player A puts $10 into the pot, player B $20 and player C $20, we have $50 in the pot. $50 means $2.50 in rake for the table in total: Player A gets credited $0.50 (20%), whilst the players B and C get credited $1.00 (40%) each.

Professional iPoker player Joseee77 from Celeb Poker states: 'The new method of calculating rake seems much fairer to me. Everybody gets what he deserves. In my opinion, every poker operator should use this rake calculation system.'

Conclusion

Overall, the weighted contribution method is the fairest of all. Every poker player has to get used to the fact that in the long run all poker rooms will be using this calculation method. Even if it seems unfair that you might loose VIP points now, you were actually credited in an unfair way before.

'I have played on several German poker sites with all different kinds of rake calculation methods. I have always favored the dealt method because it was best for my playing style. Now it's gone everywhere except on Cake. I have to get used to the new situation.', says German online poker pro Philip Schulz.

In a few months from now on the current rumour in the poker community about rake calculation changes will have settled. Also, there is no doubt that Party Poker, Pokerstars and the iPoker Network will continue to stay the leading top poker rooms and poker networks.

iPoker Rake Change Confirmed

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:56:22 GMT

Beginning on March 1st, 2012, the iPoker network will change their rake calculation method from average contributed to weighted contributed.

iPoker regulars have been living in fear for a few months: A change in rake calculation was expected and everyone was waiting for a new Ongame Essence. Luckily, the change in the rake calculation method will be from average contributed to weighted contributed. However, a lot of changes to the iPoker software are planed in the next couple of months and it looks like iPoker will become a network for casual players rather than regs with good iPoker deals.

What is the weighted contributed method of calculating rake?

The amount of rake taken out from the final pot is divided between the players who made a contribution equally. Each player gets credited in relation to the absolute amount of money he contributed.

Microgaming: No Table Waiting Lists?

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:47:53 GMT

According to pokerupdate.com, the Micromgaming Network has plans to remove table waiting lists in their next software update.

After Black Friday this year, the main focus of the Network was aimed towards high raking players. Micromgaming came out with a very good rakeback offer.

It seems like the Network has changed their long term plans. Removing the table waiting lists is a step more in the direction of recreational players. In addition, Microgaming increases its anonymous-only tables: All NL heads up games will be anonymous-only and anonymous tables at full ring NL and 6-max limit will be rolled out at all stakes.

Microgaming apparantly hopes to boost the liquidity with recreational player traffic and to recover the network's poker ecology like Ongame did.

Good luck Microgaming! However, playing on anonymous cash-game-tables isn't poker anymore.

iPoker bots - How bad is it really?

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 15:33:24 GMT

The iPoker bots scandal - on many poker forums around the world a highly discussed theme. I've always said that I don't mind about poker bots when I was still playing poker professionally. Poker bots aren't very good and in fact are loosing players most of the time. So I had no problems with bots when I was still playing and believe me, just because everybody is talking about bots now that doesn't mean the 'bot problem' is new. Bots are around for a long time.

I was a 'I don't mind about bots' person for a long time, but is it that easy? Take a look at this graph from Pokertableratings:
http://www.pokertableratings.com/ipoker-player-search/guntas

This player is obviously a bot – no discussion needed. And he is a loosing player. He played nearly 2.000.000 hands and he lost about 4.5k. But you have to realize that this player paid 13k in rake and is probably on a good iPoker VIP deal. Let's assume he gets 45% rakeback. That is about 6k. Surprise – actually he is a 'winning player'.

The problem with bots is simple: they are sucking out the games. Anyone, it doesn't matter if a bot or a real human player, who is loosing less than the rake, has to have poker skills ABOVE AVERAGE. So actually bots are sucking out the games and giving it back in rake (and are 'winning players' after iPoker rakeback). And they can play 24/7 without getting tired or having emotional problems.

Conclusion: Bots are not good for the games.

Black Day for Online Poker

Sat, 16 Apr 2011 10:43:40 GMT

Black day for Online Poker. Yesterday, Pokerstars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker have been shut down by the US government. The FBI has charged a dozen people with bank fraud , money laundering and illegal gambling offences. Bank accounts were frozen and US players are not able to play on these sites anymore. We would highly recommend just playing it safe and withdraw your money from any player accounts you might have at Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars, UB Poker or Absolute Poker.

The "good" news is: US players can still play on the Merge Network and on Cake. Check out our Facebook Promotion. Wow, there will be a huge change in the online poker business.
