Sicilian: so due to your reasoning, if there is play money available, then freerolls r useless? that way most poker rooms like are stupid to put them in addition to play money... and that way it seems 170 out of fixed max 400 members of SWC are still testing the platform in freerolls every hour.
And there are a lot of big names who just started their career with freerolls, zero investment. After all it is the context of a lot of big famous poker rooms advertisement: zero to hero...

Freerolls meant to be a way for talented players to build the bankroll necessary to start grinding the fish-pool,
Why would this be the case? Talented players can buy their own bitcoin, why do they need handouts? Freerolls are the only way people can try out the site before they spend real money, since there are no play money tables.

response to cAPSLOCK: everyone can see something from a different angle and say this or that is better.
But there is at least a tradition and history here available: freerolls have been usually created for 2 purposes: 1-attracting players in and maintenance of consistent average traffic, and 2-help the talented player to go the ladder on. That I thing my criticism is correct.
(and still I don't understand how few 10 or 15 mBTC that is distributed randomly can help the micro cash games, it may helps to have the micro tourneys crowded but not cash..)

It is the lesser of 2BB or 7 chips. So a limit game with 1/2 blinds has a max rake of 4 chips.
Table Starter Rakeback applies to limit also. All 2 and 3 handed play at 6 and 9 seat ring games gets 50% back weekly on Monday. So shorthand limit games of very high stakes still effectively only rake 0.0035 BTC per hand.
Thanks so 7 chip max and yes I know the 50% rakeback .. that works fine .. basically 1.25% and around $.25 max once rakeback is there 2.5% and $.5 at the tables .. FYI, it is a little high in HU play, but not sure why someone would play on HU table just go 6max and sit out if gets to many players.
Stars rake is 2% $.5 so your comparable, but rakeback wins the day. Thanks for the info, just want to make sure I wasn't playing a max 20 chip game.

LHE rake question, per web site ..
"Limit games with a big blind less than 0.1 BTC have 2.5% rake and a 2BB cap. Limit games with a big blind of 0.1 BTC or more have 1% rake and a 0.007 BTC (7 chip) maximum."
Is 2BB cap true .. if so then cap is really unlimited in LHE as pots don't get that big .. in a 10/20 limit game, 20 chips would be the cap. I'll guess it is a typo, if not lets get that rake max same as higher limit or NLHE ...

Freerolls meant to be a way for talented players to build the bankroll necessary to start grinding the fish-pool, not bang bang to have one or three random winner every time, making thoughtful hate poker.
With all due respect I kind of disagree. I think freerolls are best to feed chips into the micros. Let the newer players win some chips and when you play some low limit cash games they can come donk them off to you there. Those games are soft enough.
Or play the 10c tourneys. They are not super turbos, tend to be 25 players or less and pay out even a bit better than the freeroll. Even with a single table. They actually play like poker too, even down at this limit.

May you limit the number of freeroll each player could register for, per day?
It is not interesting to play them at the moment, since it is more like a bang bang bingo game, ~150 players every time play bang bang to win some small portion of chips. Freerolls meant to be a way for talented players to build the bankroll necessary to start grinding the fish-pool, not bang bang to have one or three random winner every time, making thoughtful hate poker.
OR if you have a purpose to prefer freerolls chips being distributed this way, then you better put some kind of slot or dice game instead of poker specially designed for freerolls, since that would be more interesting and fun.

I am pretty sure there is a 7 chip cap on sub-100 bb limit games... Freemoney will verify this soon.
we will always keep adjusting rake so it is fair

A lot of hands are "like" other hands and if you are playing even a few tables you'll notice a lot of cases of matching and partial matching, it is to be expected. But if you get exactly 4c6d (in order) even 4 times out of 4, that's pretty far out there.
1 in (52x51)^4 ~= 1 in 4.946455187×10¹³
But given enough chances it will happen.
Note that's the odds of getting a hand picked in advance 4 times in a row. Getting any hand 4 times in a row is a more reasonable 1 in 18,651,791,808.

There was an instance in New Zealand where 4 players were dealt a royal flush each.
The deck was shuffled and they played the next hand, again 4 royal flushes.
Rare as hell to occur, I'll see if I can find the link.
that's not possible. only one player can have a royal flush.
He could be talking about 5 card
Never seen four royal flushes twice in a row, only once. The mechanic who dealt the hands didn't feel the need to repeat the same trick and moved on.

If I enter into a krill free-roll does that take the krill away, and I have to re-gain it back? I have about 2,500 right now and I keep missing the tournament as it's pretty early in the morning my time.
No, if you play freeroll, krills do not decrease. May 22, 2013, 03:21:32 AM

i started a 6max table but sat out halfway, am i still eligible for the 50% rakeback bonus after missing out a couple of hands?
You get 50% Table Starter Rakeback whenever you play 2 or 3 handed at 6 and 9 seat tables.

A quick update from a Seal Team 6 meeting last night:
Server side improvements continue. The boys tested a new piece of complex code that does some important shit. It was cool, I got to play it for a while. Yes, when ST6 congregates I'm like the child that runs into the movie and doesn't understand and has to ask the adults. The adults don't tell me much, and I like it that way. blissfully ignorant, playing with their amazing new toys.
Note that massive multi-human efforts continue where you cannot see. ST6 is busting hump for the players. We want new games, massive tourneys, a huge super-site for all to fire on - and the new-new is being actively worked on.
Thanks again for the outpouring of support, and while it will still likely be months before our players get that "ah-ha" Oprah moment, note that we are working hard towards that, and after you get that 1st ah-ha, the months following that will make your jaw hit the ground.
Gonna come at 'em hard this time.

I was asking more about system of raking like (i forgot the exact names) if iam dealt cards but fold pre and I wasnt on blinds. Do I still that krill for that pot or do I need to contribute some money into pot in order to get krill ?
PS. also wanted to ask if it is ok to have affiliate link in my signature ?

If you get dealt and rake is taken from the pot then you get krill. Currently at least 1 whole krill, but the system will be redone soon and award fractional krill so we can offer lower games without distorting the krill system too badly.

Yes, the affiliate link is perfectly fine!
