similar on Rebuy and Add On Games, Now pay Rake on every Rebuy and even the AddOn although you only get points for the initial Buyin.

I play $2.20 R/A and sometimes have 6 or 7 Rebuys with a Addon

with 6 rebuys and Addon used to cost $16.20 (20cents in Rake)
Now its $17.60 ($1.60 in Rake):eek:

First tournament i don't play any more, second is not that bad, i was suprised initialy with that smal rake...wel my advice is to stop play it, and play some other tournaments...they are not stupid, iff they see much less players are playing it they will react and lower it...

I would normally stop but difficult when I have a massive ROI in the Game, but sucks as in the long run an extra $1 rake a game will cut into it!!

The biggest disappointment is they tricked you into believing it was a similar buy-in.

Nice Blackdevil we should all unite and stop paying those rakes, I am sure if many of us stop playing those high rakes they should reconsider.
Another approach might be to write in the pokerstars Forum withing cardschat to ask them why such an increase and let them know we think is exagerated! :five:

There are enough opponents to take advantage. Especially for us non-pro players.
Those regs who play 20-30 MTT couple of times per week, they just have to be on PS.
For me, playing 2-3 MTTs at max, there is Party, iPoker maybe even AmeciranCardroom and coupld of smaller sites.

So just move your money elsewhere.

Party Poker is an expert in rakeback scam and nothing else. Since thy splitted the player pool, i am done with this site.

It is necessary to carefully choose the tournaments to play. Also learn poker sites carefully. There are many details that need to be taken into account. In some tournaments, rebuys and add-ons are simply not profitable. As an example we can take fribay from social networks. They usually involved a large number of players. What really reduces the chances of success. I believe that there is to do re-buys and add-ons just silly.

What we need is a site to come along and function as a co-op, run by players for players, with only enough rake to pay cost and small salaries. Those kinds of grocery stores exist everywhere... and they rule and do well.

My point is that rakes for some tournaments are up considerebly in month or two!! Also there is less and less freerols...there was silver star 20000 freroll every saturday for about 1$ in FPP, now is only one 30000 on last saturday...
