If you thing Merge's new rake is high look at these tours on Revolution. Not only are they charging 20% fees for these tours but 20% fee on every single rebuy and addon you do.First time I have ever seen fees for rebuys much less 20%. What do you guys think about this?:confused:

It's an "innovative new tourney format" much like "fair play technology" was for cash games.

edit: as in maximizing rake : winrates. They are taking juice on late rebuys that are less than the big blind, and again from the $3 add-on that amounts to 7bb. Paying extra rake for hyper play.

It like a copy of the original Frenzy on merge. I bet they're going to change the tourney format as it gets more popular

Juicy Stakes Scam Tournies

juicy stakes just introduced a Wild West Tourney with only $.50+.10 buy in.
They guarantee $1000 and $500. Sound great right? Here's the catch: starting chips are only at 500 and blinds go up every 5 min. However there are unlimited rebuys at $.50+.10 and a 10,000 chip add on after 1 hour for $2.50+.50.
Late registration is only 45 min and after 1 hour blinds are 800/1600.
Probably wondering what I am on about?
Notice the bold numbers?
Juicy Stakes is charging a fee for rebuys and addons at 20% juice.
They don't charge for rebuys or addons in any other games.

The last two tourneys had 966 and 1361 in rebuys and 50 and 81 addons out of 145 and 187 players, which represents $96.60 + $25.00 and $136.10 + $40.50
in fees for rebuys and addons.

THEY ARE RAKING IT IN BIG TIME ON US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
