    WSEX Poker is made to order for GRINDERS
    I'm not a huge online player much anymore but since I've been betting more sports at wsex lately because of the gov't B.S. I've been grinding away time at their 25&50NL gms.

    I checked my pay-back just now and have a little over 200.00 coming back monday! Aint bad.

    Thanks WSEX

    $25/$50 NL ? How long did it take you to earn that much.

      Last monday I got 48.00 without even thinking about it. So... Starting last monday while I'm online each day I'm playing one gm for several hrs per day. Not that hard really, the gm will pop-up when it's your time to play.

      You canNOT go chasing with J-9 but if you play tight you won't lose too much even if someone hits the MONSTER on the river w/25.00 max limit.

          If your a online poker player Wsex is a must to play at with that rake-free offering there using. The only problem playing there though is that omaha and 7 stud tables are always dead.

            That IS a major problem. Trust me, I'd love to play there if they had legit action going around the clock in those hi/lo games. Also, their tournies seem rather week in terms of volume, and consequently, value.

              It just shows you how stupid the average poker player is that WSEX doesn't have 98% of the market, although WSEX's poor marketing is partly to blame.

                Sammy ill give ya tip. Play two tables at 3-6 LIMIT(key is limit) and you can grind out some nice change per week on just the rake....not counting what a tight player on limit can make. The key though Sam is playing limit....people stay in pots forever and that builds rake....sure you do c bad beats with everyone on the table fishing, but if your tight you will outlast the fishermen over the long haul. 3-6 seems to be real popular and are usually atleast 2-4 tables going.

                          That sounds about right.

                            Is volume up there? I mean it has to be unless they are not marketing right.

                              have to disagree here, think the software has something to do with it also. Its definately among the bottom 3 in terms of worst software, though i remain positive on the site I have become more and more annoyed with the software

                              Problems
                              I will get software errors after everyhand sometimes, i have to logout and come back in.

                              Software just starts going bing bing bing after everyhand , ask others if they are getting the same they say yes

                              frequent disconnects

                              software will sometimes raise,call or whatever on its own and i play with the pointer in the middle of the table so not misclicks.........several regulars told me they get the same



                              though its still a must have room, software holds it back from being a big player imho

                                I retract my statement of righteousness, although I'm still leaning towards what RS said. Your issues could be somewhat isolated in nature, whereas I know for sure that average poker players are stupid and WSEX does not market well.

                                  This would make it an absolute no play room until they get this resolved.

                                    I would think for an average poker player that would be of great benefit.

                                                laker, i believe it's the guy[s] playing in the 30/60 gm that gm is active most of the time, on the weekend the 100/200 has 3+ players. WAAAAYYYYY too rich for my blood for an online gm. If I play 30/60 I want it to be a live gm.

                                                  Rake goes fast in 30/60+ games. Most players within this mid limit level usually are paying time in live action games (instead of rake), so there is less stalling and hollywooding and most (for the most part) have the ability to comprehend and act quickly. Also, the aggressive nature of these games cuts the flop action to a lower %. All of these factors make it not all that hard for me to believe a player can get back 4.5 in rake from a week's play.

                                                    This no rake thing can go two ways. One, it gets lots of new blood over to WSEX who will also give the sportsbook some action. Or two, all the poker pros come over just to kick the sportsbettor's ass at the table essentially taking money from the book. Time will tell.

                                                      Hint : You can tighten up (if you dont already) your play from the blinds with this no rake thingy. Should increase the bottom line.

                                                          I wouldn't bet against a WSEX idea. They are the book you want to try something like this. Congrats on your wins Sammmy.

                                                            Changing your style of play just because you're getting rakeback makes no sense, all else being equal. The rakeback will either increase your profits or decrease your losses. But you should still pattern your play to maximize your profits and decrease your losses at the table.

                                                            If you want to argue that most players should tighten up their blinds in general, that's a different argument and one I tend to agree with.

                                                              I think many players play too loose on the blinds.

                                                                I play loose from my blinds when there are players that are going to be involved post-flop that have serious leaks in their game.
