Online Poker Tournament Rankings

The skins are all pretty similar--you can get 33% rakeback at most of them (Cake, Players Only, Doyles Room, Power Poker), and it's calculated the exact same way regardless of the skin. The games are the same, and the major tournaments are the same. The only real differences you'll find are the promotions. We are currently running a variety of exclusive promos at these skins, including: Cake - $20,000 Nov. rake race and $5,000 freeroll Players Only - $10,000 Nov. rake race and $2,000 freeroll

There's no "real news" about any of this. As is the usual case, we typically suspend or ban posters who repeatedly post false information as if it's a fact.

I actually agree with OP about this. I had a talk with our content team about this very thing yesterday... I think sometimes our writers are really wound up in the mainstream news and don't notice the stuff that's going on online, and they're going to need to start doing a better job of that

[quote user="MarkFSU1"] Just curious if UB ever got back to you guys on this?[/quote] Hey Mark, I'm bugging them about this again right now actually... FWIW, the guy I work with on this stuff is extremely responsible and with it....I have a feeling this is a bit of a complicated thing he's looking into, but I am going to stay on him and make sure we know what's up ASAP.

Back in the day, poker sites would spend just about any amount of money to get players in the door and keep them interested. A lot has changed as the market has been maturing, and there are many fewer freebies these days. There are definitely softer players on Cake and also some of the other medium sized sites.

[quote user="Blu SeVenZ"] Well I'll be honest, personally I would play as long as I could, probly a good 72 hours+ str8 without turning off my comp or signing out, and make as much $$$ as possible.
