Slow Going...

I managed to win a $20+2 SNG yesterday for $70 and I played a lot of low limit NL games. The total at the end of the day is $198. That is $18 more than yesterday which tells you how I did in the ring games. I also played two $10+1 SNG's and didn't cash in either.

(Opinion Piece below)

I realize that Fulltilt and Pokerstars and just about any other site that still allows U.S. customers has a bigger clientel and bigger prize pools and a wider selection of games. However, rake free is the only way to go. If the players on these other sites started playing at WPEX the game selection would increase, the prize pools would increase and the games would be better. How can players continue to pay the rake they are at these other sites? I'm as low level at it gets when it comes to playing poker and I'm probably gonna make about $100 per week in rakeback. That is a signifigant boost to the bankroll. I guess the point of this rant is: Why do we continue to pay rake? Any comments?

I've played at WPX a little, I just can't find enough fish to suit my taste and mediocre talents. I feel like they've marketed themselves into a big bunch of tightboxes and nits playing there, so it's hard for me to justify leaving the juicy Full Tilt waters, even with the rake. How's the traffic lately? Has there been any increase since the UIGEA?
