@OP

Seems like you hate ss'ers
Pacific changed next week to 35bb minimum global effect


Grev, I dont receive any rakeback on Bwin,they have some market points you coolect, similar as FTPs on Full tilt, but no rakeback and thus is why I am thinking to change.
Do you guys have any specific updates, where is still able to play SSS optimaly(enough tables and 20BB buyins)?.
So far only I know is OnGame,Nordika poker
cheers

Yes but the points you collect you can exchange them for money hence you get some money back. It is not called rakeback because it is their policy;)

I don't mind short buy-ins but I'm not a huge fan of the strategy of going south constantly. I actually joined PokerStrategy originally to get an idea of what the SSS ranges were. Yet after learning it I cleared more than one bonus by pounding out some multitable SSS. :f_biggrin: So hate is too strong a word since I've done it myself. (Keep your enemies close, right!)

I would love to see a minimum buy-in strategy, aimed at new players, that advocates increasing your opening range as you get closer to 100bb. I could even see a rational for suggesting new players rathole at around 150bb.

Honestly what I find the most stupid thing about this entire topic is that it would be trivial with technology to limit short stacking to a few tables and limit the total amount of ratholing done. That way it could be a way for beginners to get their feet wet, but to prevent this weird situation where you have SSS rakeback pros. However sites are too greedy for that. :f_frown:

Ultimately this sums up my overall philosophy:
"Don't hate the player, hate the game!" _biggrin:
