However, if your a limit player it's a sweet deal. I typically have 2-3 limit tables and 1 NL going or a trny. The limit table avgs are on par with Stars or UB. The NL takes a little more table selection, and yes, there are times when the NL tables just suck.
The .50/1 limit action is particularly good and beatable. I'd say same for 1/2 to 2/4 limit, but for a first time player at the site I recommend getting your feet wet at .50/1 limit and 25 nl(if you play only NL). Even when I'm down a little the rakeback often puts me back to even or positive. That's what people don't realize and why I'm so keen on the 100% rakeback idea.
I was also initially scared away from trying the site by people repeating what others said about it. Turns out most of these people never tried it. If you can play Stars or UB, you can play WSEX.
(oh yeah, the checks. I said 3 weeks down from 5-6. That's pretty common now. My Stars cashout last wee... | | Read Entire Entry |
| Posted by: cefis21 at May 22, 2007, 10:20 pm | | Topic: WSEX hourly rates (US players) Forum: Bonus Whores | I have 3 problems with WSEX.
1. You say the withdrawal time in 3 weeks by check. Up from 4-5 weeks. I will not play on a site where it is for sure that I have to wait at least 3 or more weeks for my money. That is bad business and their cashouts need to be quicker.
2. Lack of NL games. Site caters to Limit players and I hate Limit. But if I did play limit I would play at WSEX.
3. Pot sizes. The only people who give a shit about 100% rakeback are those who actually know what it means. Which are Poker players with a few years of playing under their belt. Which in turn creates tight discipline play and small pots. That's why NL games never excel there.
I've been keeping an eye on the site. I have it downloaded but have not opened an account. I just cant play limit. | | Static Link |

That sounds sweet, I've been thinking about having a crack there for a while...Only problem is I'd have to move from Crypto and play a buch of TAG 2+2s at WPEX...
It's more LAGgy than TAggy. There's something they put in the water there.
I finished the recent reload at Stars---boring---I'll take the WPEX lags over the Stars tags any day.
Don't know why everyone is saying deposit is a problem. Just do a money transfer (costs are covered they claim) if your debit card doesn't work. I guess I'm lucky that my debit card works everywhere (cross fingers and hope I didnt just jinx that). | | Static Link |

I primarily play 2/4 SH at Crypto but am thinking of playing 1/2 limit at WPEX...
I think it's the way Fixed Limit is going anyhow...the games are getting tougher and tighter....better on the bankroll learning how to play in tough games at low limits at WPEX than higher limits at other sites..

If u lose with AA ull receive $25 back on 2/4 limits, $50 on 3/6 etc.. Check their website for more information. | | Static Link |

I heard that you can do a money transfer over $300 and they cover the fees. You need to call them to do this- the number is on the deposit screen under money transfer.
Withdraw by check. About 3 weeks right now, down from 4-6 last year. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: redrocks at May 21, 2007, 1:02 pm | | Topic: WSEX hourly rates (US players) Forum: Bonus Whores | I should have mentioned that my figures above are for full ring play.
.50/1lim SH is $4/hr (assuming avg pot of $4 and 5 players) and 1/2lim SH is $5/hr (assuming avg pot of $5 and 5 players).
You can figure out what your expected rakeback ("bonus") will be at any limit. Just go to the WSEX web site and go to "things to know." The rake chart is there. Then just do the math. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: redrocks at May 20, 2007, 6:14 pm | | Topic: WSEX hourly rates (US players) Forum: Bonus Whores | If you are a US player and you've done the other bonuses (ie Stars and Bodog basically) try WSEX. IMO, it's way better than UB and AP now (compare hourly rates) and has always been better than FT. If you've done the other bonuses this is the best you can get as a bottomless "bonus" at low limits for US players (correct me if I'm wrong).
The rate is $3/hr on 1/2 limit (at $10 avg pot) and for .50/1 limit it's $1.80/hr (at $6 avg pot). Of course, I multi what's available, typically a mix of limits for 3-4 tables. These are exact figures for those avg pots. Higher or lower avg pots will naturally increase or decrease what you make by a small percentage. The rakeback is 100% and with the Aces Never Lose promo you get paid $25 if AA loses on a 1/2 table. Not many NL games and selection is often sparse, but now and then I can get 4 tables going. So 3 table for 5 hrs and that's about $27 at .50/1lim and $45 at 1/2lim for break even poker. Some people don't like the style of play at WSEX and oth... | | Read Entire Entry |
