But really, the games on Ignition are getting much more difficult than people realize. I've heard people just say to stay on Ignition for the game's softness. I've asked about the games at ACR, and I hear they are pretty reg-infested and nitty. I must have payed Bovada $25k-$35k in rake from playing all the way from 5NL-200NL. Even then, I hate playing tournaments and have only final tabled/cashed in 1/10 or something like that. They even reduced the tournament ticket values by 50%, which is basically now equivalent to. Ignition last year in December, I believe, increased max rake by 25%. Not only that, but over those 50k hands, I've payed $7,000 in rake! I never would have believed it if I hadn't checked PT4. My graph basically has a 50k breakeven stretch of hands, which is super demoralizing. I even did very well at 200NL & 200NL Zone for the first 50k hands, but for the past 50k I've been running super cold and super below EV that I'm now winning at like 1bb/100 lol for the past 100k hands. I've played quite a lot of poker over these two years, around 350k+ hands, and moved up fairly quickly from each stake. I've never really considered moving sites because I've been comfortable here, but after buying PT4 & seeing how much freaking rake I'm paying, I really want to try out ACR.
I started from the micros at 5NL and built up a roll for 200NL during my college years. I've been a grinder/reg on Bovada/Ignition for about two years.
