I don't think so.
I played there some, in 2/4 got close to $6 per hour/table. In 3/6, got a little over $9 per hour/table. In 5/10 got a little higher than the 3/6.
This was during the day, but the games were very very tight.
I usually play NL, I wish there were more NL games there. In the 200Nl games, I got about $6.50 per hr/table. But there's rarely a game, so I wind up not playing there much. | | Static Link |

Can someone please explain to me if the big leap frem 6 bucks at 2/4 to 15 at 3/6 is true since this is the rb structure everybody is talking about:
$1/$2 Limit .05 per hand dealt (2.5 x BB/100)
$2/$4 Limit .10 per hand dealt (2.5 x BB/100)
$3/$6 Limit .18 per hand dealt (3 x BB/100)
Thanks for your answer in advance. | | Static Link |

His results are about the same as mine. It translates into ~$3.00 per hour per table at full ring limit $1/2. ~ $6 per hour at $2/4 and~ $15 per hour at $3/6. ~ = approximate
$6/hr for 2/4 is not bad, but $15/hr for 3/6 is better than most bonuses out there. Might have to check it out. | | Static Link |

In my opinion this site should be the only one played by limit players, barring you a low limit player chasing a 10x bonus.

My observation from playing there a few days, I'd say it's on par with other sites. The full limit games seemed a little tight, but I played during the day and I think the day games are tighter in general, anyway.
For me, it's at least another reasonable site to play it. | | Static Link |

However, I think they've had a pretty good uptick in traffic lately. And their rake counter seems to be working now.
There's been 3 or 4 5/10 limit games going, and at least a few 3/6 and 2/4, during the day.
I think they're already past what PokerRoom gets for number of games, at the 3/6 and 5/10 games. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: EZ at May 21, 2006, 1:58 am | | Topic: WSEX goes no-rake Forum: Bonus Whores | some of the Nl games are as loose as party. if you play short handed at 100NL or higher it is a great deal.
it's better than rake free though. on a full ring you get 10% of total rake from table if it's full. and i never with 10% of hands. i've broken even at 3% won many a time. so i'm guessing i get 140- 160% rakeback when i do play there.
i play 25 and 50NL so it's about the same as clearing bonuses. and not too much talbes to choose from..... ( no 6 max) | | Static Link |
| Posted by: jojothekid at May 20, 2006, 5:28 pm | | Topic: WSEX goes no-rake Forum: Bonus Whores | Wow who knew someone trying to offer "no rake" would be widely hated by many lol.
How dare they.
This seems like a great spot for MICRO NL players and MICRO bankrolls to me. So people are bashing it perhaps because it doesn't help them for the levels they play and many I believe bashing it are just losing players. If a place wants to give you all your rake back and pay you weekly it certainly should be worth a look IMHO. | | Static Link |

So what do you thing attracts fish?
The loosest sites I know of (besides Party) is Paradise, I think they are loose players there because they have a sportsbook. It's not bonuses that attract fish, because Absolute has more bonus than anyone and it's all rocks there. I also see more ads on TV for Absolute than any other site. If WSEX gets enough of their loose sportsbook players they could have a good site going. | | Static Link |
