Prescott Murphy (Ingenol) Cashes in with Cake Poker Rakeback

Taking down our exclusive $60,000 rake race on Cake Pokerin April and turning in an outstanding month overall was PocketFives.com member Prescott IngenolMurphy. He piled up a five-figures of Cake Poker aggressively marketed its points races in April. In May, the USA-friendly site is doling out $25,000 per week as part of its $150,000 Points Race. Also up for grabs is $50,000 as part of a monthly points leaderboard. Point multipliers that increase as the month wears on allow latecomers to be able to compete on semi-equal footing. Murphy explained, “The Cake Network doubles and triples my hourly rate just because of all of the promotions they have. I’d rather play on PokerStarsor Full Tilt Poker, but it doesn’t make any sense given all of Cake’s races.”

Pocketing money from rakeback. On the former, which have been extremely popular with regulars on the world’s largest online poker sites, Murphy told us, “They encourage people to play more and are good for the site. Some people say it encourages mass multi-tabling and people nitting it up, but No Limit Hold’em is a pretty nitty game these days. Hot and cold equities pre-flop are so strong that you can’t get that out of line.”

Murphy hails from Pennsylvania and can be found perusing Cake Poker’s virtual felts under the name “Ingenol.” If you’re looking to cash in, our exclusive $60,000 rake race on Cake Poker is open to U.S. players and offers up a $5,000 top prize.
