Today everyone is talking about “poker ecology”, its imperfections,
and the need for its protection and balancing. Imagine what would happen if all
the seas and oceans of the world lived among sharks and other predators - that
would feel the other fishes?
Trends in recent months and years in the world of online
poker
1. Poker "opposition"
united around environmental issues
(Under poker opposition will understand the totality of the
poker rooms except PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker.)
Back in August last year in bwin.party announced that it was
time to change the strategy to focus on quality rather than quantity, to begin
to respond to the challenges the industry more responsive .
That wording was quite abstract, muddy, but at the beginning
of this year, all realized that we had in mind in bwin.party.
Revolution Gaming, Party Poker, Lock Poker - that's where
the idea of caring for the poker ecology have been implemented : cut the higher
limits , cut the cheapest option VIP- programs , players are divided into
groups , etc.
2. Market leaders timidly testing new ideas
Not so long ago at Full Tilt Poker tables were running for beginners:
for them can play those who have not played this kind of poker before. They
were created to protect new players from experienced and provide " nuba”
advanced training tools.
This is the first attempt to Rational Group (the company
that owns all rights to PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker) « improve » poker
environment. Trying very modest but timely.
3. Ubiquitous “bamhanting”
With increasing competition intensified bamhantinga problem.
Fish becoming less, therefore, the number of professionals per fish increases with
each passing week.
Technologically bamhanting also been greatly improved: now,
using special scripts for the player - Nuba can "catch" and follow to
the same place he did.
And all these endless heads-up tables where predators await
their prey?
Professionals know each other. If their stakes appears weak
player (learn his knowledge of poker is quite simple), a table, where he sits,
immediately filled and it is a queue.
What is poker involution?
Involution - the reverse process, degrading, perhaps it's
not quite the right word - but what is happening now and what is planned, cannot
be called evolution.
1. Division players
win rate and other indicators
Such a system has already been introduced in the Lock Poker
and Party Poker. Accurate logic dividing players into groups not reported, but
it is known that they are divided according to “performance”: profit, win rate
may amount of playable hands, etc.
The players themselves do not know to which group they
belong (usually two or three of their - successful players, "zero"
and losers).
Profitable players do not see tables with fish and can be
played either with professionals, or those who show near-zero results.
2. Felling of high
stakes
Higher limits have been removed from several poker rooms. They
still enjoy less popularity and profits (rake) bring identical average limits.
Let the High Rollers play at medium stakes, then, to win as much as before,
they need to play more hands, therefore pay more rake.
3. Fighting
bamhantingom
For example, in early June of this year on the Microgaming
network heads-up tables have been replaced by format Heads up 8 -Man Blaze.
These are small pools of players in every 8 people playing poker fast. And one
player available is only one place in the pool. It turns out that now sit and
wait for the weak players will not be - the game starts only when the pool is
filled.
4. VIP- circumcision
programs
C 1 - April at Party Poker is no longer the status of
Platinum Elite, giving more than 50% rakeback. Instead, its benefits have been
partially transferred to a lower status in order to improve the motivation of
weaker players.
Why is it necessary rumam
Number of newcomers decreases the number of those who make
deposits decreased; poker rooms have to fight for their existence and previous
earnings. A profit depends on the amount of rake generated by players and
deposits. They try to minimize the amount of money that the players output and
maximize the incoming flow of money.
Resentment and grinders rumy care professionals is not very much,
because they bring a small proportion of sites or a substantial profit, but not
the lion.
If fish or any novice player as long as possible will remain
in the black, it will bring good profit rumu. It will invest the money and
enjoy weak competition (because he plays with the same as he did).
