Its become harder to find ranking games where all 10 players want to enjoy playing poker rather than spoiling others fun. Most games currently seem to have one all-in-till-bust player. Can you re-introduce limits on the number of games per day these players are allowed to ruin please ?

Hi ridley97,

there already exists a feature for limiting 1st hands All-Inners:

* a player can play max. 4 ranking games in a period of 60 minutes

I'm not sure if there is a need to adjust this setting, as it was way worse before we implemented this feature.

Unfortunately, enough seem to be doing it 4 times in very many hours, so that limit isn't stopping what I claim to observe. The data should be available - e.g. the counts of 10th places in the season. Maybe put a limit on that and stop them playing when they hit it ?

A point is, that due to a reduced amount of total players the avg waiting time for a game increased - which has a negative impact on the 4/h rule.

@boehmi: ?

From data, can identify the offenders - high count of 10th/9th places. Then can get percentage of all ranking games with one of these players in them, which I suspect may be higher than you expect.

It is not really about identifying the offenders. It is about finding a general solution which suits for all. I personally do not have a problem with Bingoers - I just sit and wait until the game "really" starts. Focus on a high count of 9th/10th places is not an option in my opinion.

I can imagine to change it to 3 ranking games per hour in respect to the reduced total amount of players.

This is fake poker, without money. Money is how we keep score in poker. It's how we know if we are a winning or losing player and how others know to. Thats the main problem. no matter what you do on his site it's not going to be a real game.
In a cash game u want bingo players, u want easy games, u want to make money. So if one of the main parts of the game that makes it work is gone the games not going to be played right or enjoyed right. Even children understand this betting with candy, penny's, etc.
But unless someone reading this has played a lot of cash games they won't even realize that a free game and 0.01/0.02 cent games are so widely different.
Biggest tournament I won, I got $600 for 1st. Most cash in one night was $700 dollars for 8 hours. At yhe end of this year I'll be profit of $3000. So you guys kinda know where I'm at with the poker world.
I have no skin in this site I'm just saying what I think.

They only thing you guys can do is make an Elo rating like chess has. You'd have to get way more players. It be like people within how many hundred points play each other
