How's the rake?
$2 for bonus (which i can't complain about because that paid for the freeroll i won)
10% up to $5 (same for 1-3 and 2-5, so it makes 2-5 MUCH better in terms of rake)
PLO is $8/hour

What is one-drop?
Posted on 6/7/17 at 12:13 pm to High C
originally it was a $1M buyin tournament with all proceeds donated to the One Drop Foundation
this is just a smaller version of the same deal

In 2011, Laliberté teamed with Caesars Entertainment, owner of the World Series of Poker (WSOP), to launch a major poker tournament to benefit the organization. The One Drop tournament would be held as a competition within the larger WSOP series of tournaments held each summer in Las Vegas.
The first such tournament, known as The Big One for One Drop, was held as part of the 2012 WSOP, and had a record per person buy-in of US$1 million.[3] The WSOP waived its normal 10% rake of the entry fees, and $111,111 of each buy-in went to the Foundation.[3] The 48 seats available in the event were filled, creating a poker record first prize of $18.3 million[4] and a donation to One Drop of $5.33 million. Caesars Interactive Entertainment CEO Mitch Garber, ineligible to play, donated $111,111 while One Drop founder Laliberté donated his entire fifth-place winnings of $1.83 million, for a total donation of $7.28 million from this single tournament game.[4][5]
The One Drop relationship continued at the 2013 WSOP, with two tournaments held. There was a $111,111 buy-in One Drop High Rollers event, with $3,333 going to the Foundation—the 166 entries resulted in $0.55 million for the Foundation.[6] A second event, The Little One for One Drop, was a $1,111 buy-in with $111 going to the Foundation—the 4,756 entries resulted in $0.53 million for the Foundation.[6]
The "Big One" event returned for the 2014 WSOP, with the 42 entries raising $4.67 million for the Foundation.[6] The 2014 "Little One" event saw 4,496 entries provide an additional $0.50 million to the Foundation.
As part of the initial 2012 event, Caesars announced that One Drop has become an official charity of the WSOP, and it encouraged all players who cashed during any tournament at the 2012 WSOP to donate 1% of their winnings to One Drop.[7] Labelled the "All in for One Drop", the 2013 campaign saw 458 players contribute $0.25 million of their winnings from tournaments held during the 2013 WSOP.[6]

good guy at the forefront of trying to bring poker back
Too bad poker's not coming back until those old bastards like Adelson die off and we get online poker back. That fueled the entire boom in the 2000s.

I'll never forget The Magician winning the very first one drop for 18 million.
Edit: he also only had 3.5% of himself

Not a fan of the nugget? Or playing strictly PLO?
Posted on 6/7/17 at 3:06 pm to GeauxMariners
i'm not a big fan of the nugget. i think i've played there 2x and both were during the week/day
i don't like 10 seated tables and i don't like their tables from a physical aspect
*ETA: plus it fills up way too fast on the weekend

No one who plays poker wants more rake. He took that quote of context and made a whole campaign out of it.
Now, is it funny? Yeah, lol.
