Does this mean you accumulate rake on every hand? Not just the hands you win?

Every hand you're dealt into.

Yes, this is standard pretty much everywhere - including Full Tilt, where you have been getting RB for months.

If $1 is raked and 5 players were dealt into the hand, each player is considered to have contributed 20 cents to the rake, whether they folded preflop or won the pot.

Just signed up... giving it a spin right now.

Edit: software reminds me of Pokerroom, HHs remind me of Titan (which is bad), players remind me of Titan (which is good)

Edit #2: if anyone can figure out how to do a player search, please let me know. Thx.

Cake lets you change you player name once per week - searches might not be as useful as you think.

Well, that sucks.

note one cake poker,

I signed up for this site awhile ago, they recently shut down and reopened I believe so if you signed up awhile ago you can still get linked to TP link. At least thats what I did and I got signed up under the TP link with no problem.

That would be a bit of a problem for PT purposes I would think.

Do you guys really think the fish are going to be wise enough to change their screen names regularly? I don't.

de-coder · #10 08-02-07, 01:51 PM

That's a good question. I suppose it wouldn't take too long to figure that out - provided PT will import the histories.

I would think a lot of fish would change their names for 2 reasons:
1) because they can and would think it's cool - not because they are aware they're fish
2) because TP, Mayhem, sjay and JD will be showing up at their tables so often they become paranoid

I remember one guy I was chasing around for 3 hours. I was on very table he was on and I kept following him as he moved. Eventually he asked why I was following him everywhere - I told him that I thought he was following me! He said he wasn't... lol - I miss that guy...

It definitely reduces the datamining possibilities.

I knew that's how they did the points, but I didn't know that was rake as well... learn something new every day.
