    has anyone played this site? if so, what are your thoughts? my friend plays it and he loves it...rake is fully refunded every week which could save alot of money.

    The first time I played WPE the button was wrong in heads-up play. Haven't been back since. Good times.

    I'm sure most of the beginning kinks are worked out by now though, and the software wasn't too bad. Just need more traffic. If they had HU sngs I'd be there, in a flash.

    The software is fine now, very quick, but they've been rake free for six months and still can't seem to build their numbers.

    They don't advertise, and fish don't understand rake or even know the site exists.
    The big advantage to 100% rakeback is in the mid level limit games and those games are usually frequented by regular tough, aggressive limit players, if not actual props, IMO.

    Their NL games are awful. After playing NL for a couple of years, limit poker drives me insane. I wish the site would flourish, but it is much more profitable for me to play NL at full rake or 27% rakeback at a popular site with poor players. I'm sure many who have tried WPEX feel the same way.

    I tried it out...only played 2/4 limit though. The players there are CRAZY (from my limited experience). I have never been limp-reraised preflop before...and with hands like J9o. I didn't even bother raising my premium hands anymore, 'cause I KNEW that they woudl be raised and reraised anyway...had AA in the cutoff and limped (I know, terrible player normally), but by the time it got back to me it had been capped. By someone w/ KTo....lol. Variance is a killer there. But the 100% rakeback was nice.

    The site has nice software<SPAN>, although their hand history sucks. I am having problems with losing my connection but their support has been working with me to improve this issue. I found the players to be average and below (like myself) in both cash and MTT’s. They average around 1200 players at any given time, finding a game other than NL cash and their Guarantee MTT’s (overlay’s most days) is difficult. The 100% rake back is GREAT. Try it you’ll like it</SPAN>
