    I'm a tourney player, but sometimes I enjoy to grind some cash, especially to complete a bonus like the ipad2 on Lock. Whenever I look, there are always tons of Bad Beat games going then literally one normal ring game. So like in .5/1 and 1/2 there are about 9 bad bad tables going on and 1 regular game. There is a run it twice table. The bad beat tables are always full of people. But they are taking more rake there. I don't like the bad beat tables, I can't justify the extra rake I pay for the little chance of hitting the bad beat since I hardly grind cash games. Even if i did grind cash I wouldn't want to sit at a bad beat jackpot table. Maybe I'm missing something, can anyone enlighten me?

    Also, the normal ring .5/1 and 1/2 games have no one sitting at them right now and generally don't run. It is 1:00 am Est.

    The 1/2 to 3/6 PLO tables seem to run all day long for me when I'm in the mood to take a break from mixed games from FTP. I agree with you on the NL, however.

    This is ridiculous if this is real. I'm sure it's not since I've heard this guy is a troll. Either way Merge should def look into it.

    Have not noticed anything shady in the PLO or LO8 games (LO8 runs less often & less tables than the PLO does)

    I notice this too. I multi table slightly smaller stakes. Tons of full games, but there will be only one new game with no one sitting, and 5 people on the waiting list. On top of that, it's hard to jump in on a table when a seat opens up elsewhere b/c the lobby doesn't refresh frequently enufffff....

    I guess we should be griping to Rizen?

    edit: does the extra rake at the badbeat tables go toward RB and bonuses?

    How much more is the rake on the bad beat tables? Also I wouldn't be too worried about any "facts" unreal brings to the table.
