Suggestion about 5% daily loss and gain

Suggest change the daily loss from 5% to 2%

500.000 chips limit is to low?

The 5% loss

It's been discussed before, we don't really need another thread about it.

Sometimes I think that the thread search tool is not available to much of the community here.

Maybe it should be compulsory to do a thread search on your chosen topic before the system allows you to post a new thread ??? Just an idea, might be a little difficult for Black Lava to code, I don't know.

Thanks famguyrules for the reply, closing that thread too (there was a double post btw).


In 2 words : When we were at 100k limit for the 5% the toplist enter place was much lower, pushing it at 500k made the toplist enter rank higher... 5 million will only trigger 20 million as 66 rank and so on. It's a math!

Connytor had a good idea that you should only lose 5% on the days that u play, just like the 5% bonus for each day you play.

Just an idea, feel free to argue. lol

Lol, another thread about the 5% tax.........

The problem with this is that people who haven't played in weeks would still be high on the toplists.

i think it would be much better if you lose 5% on days that end in the letter Y and on any day that has a S,M,T W,TH, F or SAT in it. oh and i think you should also lose 5% everyday that op66 pays for bandwidth. and it wouldnt be such a bad idea if they only took 5% off on days the the sun shines. sorry u guys i couldnt help myself hahaha but seriously i doubt if it will change . its always being discussed in the forum inthe chatboxes of games and in email and i actually had a pigeon fly up to me with a message tied around its leg saying sumthin about the 5% reduction was lame and that op66 was a pathetic site and that oh nooo that was another thread lol not message. but i dont have aprob with however they do whatever they do because whatever they do i still get to play free poker. you know what, as a matter of fact what is with the 5% thing i mean so what if sum1 has like 190mil and they dont play for , lets say, 4 months and they stay at the top of the leader board , WHO CARES. is that gonna stop me from playing free poker????? i guess in that respect the 5% thing doesnt really matter at all. nothing is different as far as being able to hang out with some cooool people and play some cards

the thing with the 5% thing is every 1 has to deal with it well every1 over 500k an without it there would b more arguements from people who feel they deserve to be top of the leaderboards but arent because some fo the other players may have decided to take a break an still b there it jus gives every1 more of an oppurtuiniy of breakin into the elite an gives all the best players less of a reason to scive off

who cares? its free, have fun and deal...if you want your name to be at the top of a leader board, learn how to do something else where you can get some kind of trophy or gold medal...otherwise, accept the rules of this site or go try and find a better free one...when youve wasted a few hours and finally give up, this site will still be here waiting for you...with the 5% tax

I wonder, why so many players are complaining about the 5% tax, and no one says anything about the 5% bonus for those player with less than 100k.

Why worry about the tax if you have the skills to make it back.

You don't see the top 66 players complaining about the tax system, even though, they get tax millions in chip a day.
