General Poker Discussion Poker Forums

Yeah I use Lock Poker, I don't think they do it.

I am not sure of any of this but it looks to me like Lock is part of the Merge network and if this is the case you may be able to play the same tables with rakeback via another client. DC seem to have a rakeback deal you can get with 'Black chip Poker' and 'Carbon Poker'
It may be worth checking reviews etc for these sites - you do have to be careful these days.

The are quite a few rakeback providers and Dc is one.

2 BI shots are pointless IMO

black chip poker no longer offers rakeback to new members

Actually sorry I didn't know DC does that.

yeah I hear carbon is a little iffy, but black chip poker looks ill! Maybe I should look into it. I'm worried about cash outs though.

I don't understand people's logic here; why not when around the 20BI mark start playing only the best games of the next stake? So instead of hitting 20BI/xBI, than move up completely to the next stake and potentially forfeit a lot looser games, and when one was building to move up they also potentially forfeited loose games.

You should only be looking for the best games anyway...

Just make getting a better job your goal, grinding poker for a living below 200nl at minimum is no way to live. At 400nl a bad month where you play 50k hands and only win 5bi is stil 2k, nothing to sneeze at. A bad month at 50nl-100nl is just not acceptable when your trying to live off it.

some people seem to forget that grinding multitable 50nl can make you 20$/hr just from rakeback.
being a winning player can make it 25 - 30$/hr
depending on where you live, that is a pretty good income imo...

i do agree that you shouldnt rely on this until you have like 100-200 bi for these stakes so that you can take a couple of bad months without moving down, maybe take a weekend job or a partt time just to make sure you have a steady income

Seems the opposite of what people do. It's standard just to load up the loosest games of whatever stake they play and leave it at that. Perhaps the more cluely ones leave the table once the fish has left, and proceed to look for the loosest game at their limit again, completely disregarding if there's a game 2x as loose one stake down and they've got 40BI for their current game.
