The rake these sites make just like in live games comes from the huge amount of low limit games going on out there, not the big games, so it doesn't matter how many big games they have going on as long as the low limit players keep feeding the rake machine.
Example:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1571041
A $96,000 pot an the rake was $1.00
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1614099
$2/$4 NL game $200 pot, $3 rake.
Now to get back to your top 20 finisher theory, once again, tournament pay out schedules are top heavy, favoring the top 3 finishers. Why would they try to skim $5K here or there, when they're making $20K off of a tournament, when all they have to do is start up another without any risk.
I am not saying there has never ever been a "rogue" employee, which may be the case at Absolute. But there is no reason for PokerStars, or PartyPoker to risk an easy money making machine just to increase their profits by 1-5% a year. |
Spot on once again.
It is completely nonsense to risk a perfectly healthy business. And I really don't believe that it was the whole Absolute Team who is behind this. It is more than likely a hack made by a former programmer/employee who is taking advantage of this now.
This was inevitable at some point, but there's absolutely no reason to think it's the company as such who are behind and I am 100% sure that no big company like Stars, Full Tilt or Party or Absolute for that matter would never do anything that could jeopardize their more than healthy business.
RawAlex if your theory were to be correct. They have some sort of Bot network which have a slightly edge, it would fuck up your poker tracker stats in the long haul. There's no way shit like that will go unnoticed. Just as the Absolute incident didn't. PokerTracker shows you EVERYTHING, I love this tool
