The CoinPoker 200NL Controversy: Rake, Rakeback and the “No Winners” Debate
A recent TwoPlusTwo thread started a serious debate around CoinPoker 200NL cash games. The thread was opened by user MicroDonkYT, who posted datamined 2026 hands from CoinPoker 200NL and claimed that there was “not a single pre-rakeback winner” with significant volume.

How Many Fish Per Table Do You Need to Beat Online Poker?
Most poker players ask the wrong question. They ask: “What winrate should I have at NL50, NL100 or NL200?” But the better question is: “What kind of tables am I actually playing?” Because in online cash games, your bb/100 does not depend only on how good you are technically. It depends on the quality of the field, the number of recreational players at the table, your position on them, the rake structure, the rakeback deal and the strength of the regulars around you. A good re

But there is one big problem: Most players read their winrate too early. A player wins for 8,000 hands and thi

Poker Rake Explained: How Hidden Fees Destroy Your Winrate
Most poker players spend a lot of time thinking about strategy. They study preflop charts, solvers, HUD stats, hand histories, bet sizing and game theory. But many of them ignore one of the biggest factors in their long-term results: rake. Rake is the fee taken by the poker room, app, casino or platform for running the game. It may look small on a single hand, but over thousands of hands it can completely change your winrate. A game can be soft and still be hard to beat if th

Poker Agent Scams: Fake USDT, Instagram Spam and the Google Sheets Club List Trap

I Played 100,000 Hands on KKPoker Network: Here’s Everything I Learned
Most poker reviews are written after a few sessions. Some are based on a first impression. Others simply repeat information from the poker room’s website. This article is different.
