Limon may be the biggest moron in the poker "media". I have read a few of his posts on 2+2 and the guy just spews paragraphs of nothing.
his opinion tonight to get games going was to @ give 100 % RB prop accounts. This worked in 2004 because fish filled games. The vast majority of pros aren't going to sit around and battle each other for rake
Also usually not more than 1 or 2 props are allowed at the table. So the only way a game goes is if a fish sits.
Amaya made the right call killing SN ELITE. I have not looked in the Stars lobby in a while but I suspect their are still guys seeding games with 0 benefits but to try and get a fish.
It's also hard to take this guy seriously at all. His opinion is always opposite of whatever is correct or obvious.
he has a lot of Searles in him
Tune
Very frustrating to argue with this guy.
He doesn't even understand (or is pretending not to) that high stakes fish lose their money super quickly, and thus the site LOSES money on these players, since the deposit fees Stars pays are more than the rake collected off that money before it's all gone.
I tried to make this point in 20 different ways and he didn't get it.
"Fish don't lose $5000 in a few minutes at high stakes games."
YES THEY DO
I am not a fish, and even I've done it many times.
But that was the basis of his argument. He doesn't understand that the high stakes games overall make very little money for sites like Pokerstars, and that their real money comes from raking the low and mid stakes games.
But even if his argument were true, at best it would make a negligible amount of extra $ for Pokerstars, which is the last thing they are going to expend effort doing.
Todd is god and Limon even more so.
Slimy talentless tranny Joe Ingram called in to hate on Druff. This cannot stand.
yeah, the poker site is paying a processing fee to accept those funds, so if a guy deposits and loses it quickly, and doesnt keep depositing and playing longer, they lose money.
I could see people doing that by sitting shortstacked in a big game, shoving and trying to double up, and if they win, they leave, and if they lose, they leave.
not sure how frequently it happens though
lol everyone really shit on todd after his call was over
how did tyde miss this opportunity to call in and catch todd on a level playing field?
Even putting all of that aside, at high limits the vast majority of regs arent even going to battle each other for 100 % rb.
Most of these supernova elite guys were getting around 75 % as is and they were seeding tables and they were not playing each other and the games only ran if fish joined.
The same will continue to occur with 0 % Rb because the best guys who seed high limit games are crushing these games so hard that while they will lose a shitload in rakeback they still make a ton without and will play without it.
Is there a recording of this somewhere?
