finglartz 0 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 There is a discussion on one of the poker forum about new room which takes 10% comission instead of rake. So , it a rake free poker room.Which conditions are more profitables for players? Link to post Share on other sites
Solar 0 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I would say this would be a bad system for the good players and a great system for the breakeven/small losers. Link to post Share on other sites
potatoman 0 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Not terrible...if you have a bad month, you don't have to pay much rake. Would probably suck for the guy who scores big in a couple of major tournaments. I'll have to look into this before I really form an opinion. Do you pay your commission whenever you cash? At the end of the month? Link to post Share on other sites

JSpencer 0 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 what is meant by commission?Pretty sure it means a % of your winnings are taken by the poker site.If you won 10,000, the site would take 1,000 of it with a 10% commission rate.Crappy system in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
superninja79 0 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 When did sites, and casinos for that matter, figure out they could take a portion of the pot? This is why I like tournaments or home games. I do not approve of the rake or commission. Link to post Share on other sites

jmbreslin 0 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Definitely sounds like it would be better for cash players and far, far worse for tourney players. Say you play a $10 tourney and cash for $600. Instead of paying the $1 rake and profiting $599, you're stuck paying $60 in commission.antistuff, how do you track how much you have actually paid in rake? Link to post Share on other sites
