Cake 2.0

[Logan]

I've tried a few micro sng's at Pokerstars recently & have to say --> I can't stand the play on those tables. The 9plyr. sng tables are played terribly, the $4-180's are horrible. I suppose they could be profitable but I'd need a perscription for hundreds of valiums to play on there. Why not make the move to Fulltilt?

I hear you PO.

After a month there i do need some drugs to stand it.

Not doing that bad i mean i could end really bad and at the end was only -$1.45 after 41 games ($3.40) and probably was because the bigger rake, but not doing good also, so i guess just going to leave Stars for some CC games there, but aside of that don´t want to play much.

About Fulltilt, i do play regularly there, i like it (aside of the fucking crash yesterday of Fulltilt) but i need a site with less MTT numbers, i like Fulltilt for the 27/45 S&G wich in this year i still have a verygood 48.2% ROI there playing the $2 and $5, but for MTT is way too many players in games and in this times can´t stand games with more than 2.5 hours.

Thats why was looking for another site at least for the Mtts.

As far as Cake goes..... I've been reading the general consensus online at some of the biggest poker forums & the MTT regulars are really not impressed. The guarantees are getting smaller & smaller & there's been really nothing done to make any drastic improvements to the site. It looks as if they're just letting it die out which is a shame. I missed out on the cake at Cake & have only played there a couple dozen times since Doyles joined with them. I wish I'd played there more as I'd heard it was a very fishy site.
My preference online is to play nlhe MTT's and when i scroll through the Cake lobby there really isn't much to choose from. I'm not rolled the greatest on that site but find I'm more than willing to play outside of typical bankroll management ideals (partially because I don't really care if I lose my roll on there... I've already traded off a bunch & initially built up the roll from a freeroll cash but then also made a min. deposit to play the DoylesBounty & so that I'd be able to withdrawl funds from there.

Looking at the MTT lobby now... there's almost nothing on there for the player who wants to play in the $10 range... it's either $3, or $6 bountys, & then pretty much moves up to $30 & above (also, the high buyin MTTs don't get very many players in them & guar. are really small... more like a mtt/sng now... and you can be assured that most who play in them are good MTT regs.).
From what I've been hearing/reading... most of the MTT regs. only play on there for the Sunday MTTs and not much else.


So much for 'Doyles'. I'm probably going to take a shot at a couple of higher buyin MTT's & if I lose.. will just call it a day. If I win... I might keep a little bit on there for playing some priv. tourneys (noticed a couple back on there again recently and of course the OFC is on there soon). Hmm... maybe I should offer to trade Doyles for Fulltilt so that others can play in the OFC buyin??

Agree on that in bold, Cake could be a important network but instead of grown and getting bigger is losing players every day, is sad.

I also notice the return of forums to Doyles recently, im thinking in try to fund again from some freerolls, already deposit and cashout there before, so no need to deposit again, but still will be a site only to play private games, not much options for opens.

Btw i always hear about Sportsbooks/playersonly when was in Cake network but never try it, (probably the leave of SB/PO was important in the low numbers now in Cake), but, at the time a lot comment that this will bring bigger numbers to merge, but i don´t see this happen, i see the same numbers in Merge, and to be true i try Sportsbooks this week in Merge and i hated, very bad live support, they froze my account after deposit with out tell me nothing, software is different from other merge skins, can´t see how much $ you have from the lobby or when you register from a game, the deposit freeroll game is only 1 time and game is 11:30pm et not like any other merge skin that give you 14 days of games at 2 different times, for cash outs you have 1 free time, second time they charge you $20 if is with Ewallets, and if is check $50 i think, when in other merge skins don´t charge for Ewallets.

So after 2 emails and 4 live chat support i decide to get out of there.
