It's like poker players are actually detached from the rest of society . look at the moaning and the complete bollo cks thats typed across a number of a different venues .
There's a ever developing world , with a multitude of different obstacles to overcome , but poker players moan about not winning enough because of the rake . Lets be clear here , we are talking about winning players ...it beggars belief really .
If I regularly done my shopping in sainsburys , and I wasnt happy about their prices I would go elsewhere ...why ? because lifes too short to moan about something that you are quite happy to continue doing .

People need to get a grip , be grateful for what they have and stop finding excuses to moan about trivialities .
Winning poker players who go out of there way to help other players become winning players? How exactly would it help a business owned by stars who charge less than half the rake on the main site? I’m intigued. I mean I run my own business but would love to know your take
He said quite clearly in his post in answer to my question that he felt cheated by the rake .
More pros on the site looking for an edge , will make nitty table selection predominant, and as a result , tables ( sng's) , will run less frequently , meaning less rake is gathered by sky which will no doubt have a knock on effect with promotions.
As far as rewards payments , well people will have to play more volume just to get the same level of rewards payments they are currently receiving . Any argument , in relation to the aforementioned , that suggests this will be negated by the tables being easier to beat fail to take into account that the tables will invariably be tougher to beat , because there will be more pros playing, plus tables won't fill as quickly.
A lot of casual recs are well aware of rake structures as they play on other sites as well or have done, but still continue to play here alongside regs .
I fail to see how lowering the rake on here , would be beneficial to the poker " economy "
With DYMs players at the moment have to table select well given the rake levels.
Rake is one factor that players will use to decide where to play. You saying lower rake = more pros is simplifying things massively and isn't necessarily going to be the case.
One of the good things about sky is that sky management listen to feedback from players when it is well thought. The thread was a well thought out one and given that they understand poker and the poker ecology they always look at threads like that one and give it due care and consideration. Given what's going on with the stars takeover I doubt anything will happen but that doesn't mean customers shouldn't interact with sky management on the forum.
Too pointts-
It will diminish your credibility when you post controversial topics to that to people
People will start to think you are actually related to Goldon
You can decide which is worse
