  1. What exactly is a rakeback and how does it work?

    Its probably not signifigant for the casual player. What happens is, in order to get players to play at their site, specifically, high volume players, many sites offer "rakeback", which is a % back of all the rake you pay. Some sites don't offically support it (such as Party Poker), but you can usually find an affiliate who is willing to give you some of your rake back in exchange for singing up with them. Some sites flat out don't offer it (Poker Stars) and others will use rakeback as their main lure (Absolute poker). For example, last month, I played around 50 hrs, I made 750, which is roughly $15/hr. I moved up limits this month, so I expect to make more/hr. I get this playing 4 tables at a time and at shorthanded tables, which mean more hands/hr, which mean more rake paid.

  2. lol, I hear you there. I'm not a real strong tourney player, but I've gotten to the point with sit downs where I can almost rely on it as a secondary profit center. I definitely need to be willing to be a scrapper sometimes, but it's pretty rare anymore that I don't finish in the money. I still can't believe that I can sit here at my computer and pull cash off the internet, and then have it sent right to my bank account.

     

    Safe to assume you're in the black month after month? What's a typical 30-day take for you?

    Well, i'll just put it this way: 60/hr for playing, between 18-20 hr in rakeback.

  3. Do you play on Pacific at all? If you're that good, I'd actually love to play against you. Why do you only play 6 max tourneys? Not much profit margin, is there?

    I play 6 max cash games, not tourneys. The basic reason for 6 max is that you get more hands/hr and the tables usually have worse players, more of the "action" junkies. I don't usually touch anything outside of party as I have a 20% rakeback deal (i.e. i get 20% of my rake back), which adds up when you play as much as I do. Also, its not that i'm "that good", its that the competition is "that bad"

  4. If you are just going to play casually, there's alot of good sites to play at, I'd stick with the big ones (Party, Pstars, Paradise), because there's alot of shady ones popping up. IF your going to be a serious, Pstars for Tourneys, and Party Poker for cash games. I play about 15-20 hrs a week, 4 tables at a time @ 5/10 6 max. If you see me (midgetbowler), I advise you strongly to go to a different table.

  5. Well I could but I don't want to bore people with the freakin War that's going on and all....  :ph34r:

     

    Plus being over in the sandbox, I don't get to watch these shows so I kind of like hearing what's going on in them....

    Smallville's biggest flaw is its need to be so over the top with everything. The whole Clark and Lana thing was just stupid. The minute that Clark showed her his powers, you just knew 'that beeotch gonna die', then, of course, you knew he was going to go back in time to save her, because the real Lana exists in the superman comic. Sigh.

  6. For something like this to work, you would need a group of investors to provide over 50%-70% of the capital. Golisano, someone in the Wilson family, and probably 1-2 others. You could realistically offer up the remaining, but no way the fans could come up with the 80% of the billion need to buy Buffalo.

  7. If we get Superman/Clark Kent for QB ........... could we draft the Flash in the second round as a Wide Reciever .................. he's pretty small ....... but he's fast as heck.

    Sigh, if we're going to get the Flash at WR and Superman at QB, I really think we should have the hulk on the line somewhere. Paticularly against the patriots. Ok, just for one play against the patriots. When he can pick up tom brady like a ragdoll and yell 'hulk smash!'

    I don't know why every store has not gone with the ticket system for these products. You go out 1/2 hr before the store opens, give tickets entitling the people who are first in line products they want. Do this until all your tickets are gone. That way there is no mad rush, just people picking up

    Sigh. People bitchin because they were too cool to go to college and get a real job. Its amazing, you never hear electrical engineers bitching about their $35/hr. If they went to night school for a semester, get some sort of certification, they could tell their union to stuff it while they went out and got their $18/hr job.

  10. In other news, the officals and their crew were pleasantly suprised to see that the cooler of water had been changed to wine at half time during Sunday Night's Patriots/Bills game. When asked about this after the game, a drunken official stated 'Its a Bruschi day miracle!' and stumbled off the field.
