nairolph87 said: because on gg they like to offer high variance rake trap games like allin or fold, gold and 💰 rush, spin and gold instead of normal sit and goes to make the money flow arround more and therefore rake 💰 more. its not a coincidence they hired daniel "more rake is better" negreanu as their ambassador.

As for 💰 "gold n rush" its GG Pokers variation of fast fold cash games like pokerstars Zoom games. And just from looking 💰 in the lobby, since I am not allowed to play on GG Poker, they might actually be worth playing. They 💰 apparently have a rake cap of 3BB per pot, which for micro and low stakes games is extremely low compared 💰 to cash games on other sites. So I would not exactly label that game a "rake trap". In fact it 💰 seem to instead be an outright bargain.But yeah. Of course GG Poker is trying to make money. So are any 💰 other poker sites . They are after all private businesses. And the harsh reality is, nobody need winning poker players. 💰 Recreational players dont need us, and poker sites certainly dont either, because we essentially suck money out of the ecosystem, 💰 when we withdraw our winnings.So we are tolerated but certainly not loved by any poker sites. And GG Poker has 💰 made absolutely no bones about the fact, they are catering to recreational players. For instance they also have a policy 💰 prohibiting bum hunting in cash games. At the end of the day, if you dont like, what a certain poker 💰 site has to offer, then dont play there. Vote with your feet and rake money. Pretty much as simple as 💰 that
