WSEX

I know I've posted about WSEX before... but I'm posting about it again. Since the ban, I've been playing online like it's going out of style. I figure the online action is drying up and we've got about nine months before the easy money turns into hard money.

Anytime someone asks where I play online, I always drop the WSEX site. That site is the nuts. Yeah, I know their software sucks. Their customer support isn't that great. But come on... it is a rakefree site that is big enough to actually have a good chunk of action. It's got a steady collection of 5-10 games, 10-20, and occasionally a 20/40, 30/60 or even 100/200. For the true grinder, you can't beat it. And it's just getting bigger because they aren't breaking their players.

The other day I was playing some 5/10 limit headsup with my buddy Tony on Absolute. We both bought in for a thousand and started hammering away at each other. I got pretty lucky and was up about $200... he was down about $350. We had paid $150 to rake for like an hour of headsup play. At 5-10 limit!!! It's ridiculous.

The only problem I have with WSEX is that they still collect rake and then return the rake to you every monday instead of just eliminating the rake altogether. This is SUCH a bad move on their part for reasons I'm not even going to go into. But the cardroom would be doing a lot better if they just stopped collecting rake to begin with.

Play at WSEX. Rakefree is good for your bankroll and good for poker. They don't pay me to say this shit... I wish they did. Unfortunately, I don't think they care about the cardroom or poker at all.

The next time you're feeling wornout after a losing session of 3/6 on stars or some other site, remind yourself that it would have been a winning session on WSEX. If you are playing anything less than 30/60 online, then you are doing yourself a disservice if you aren't playing on WSEX.
