Temporary Suspension of Small BB Tables - 10/24/22

Due to the current price levels of TPT and LUNA, Terra Poker is operating at a significant loss in high expenses for gas fees. As such, the team is proposing the temporary suspension of the smaller BB tables such as 1BB/2BB and 2BB/4BB tables. Remaining active tables will be: Two 5BB/10BB tables and a 10/20BB table.

At current prices, 1 TPT is 0.014LUNA, equating to about 0.03 USDC.

On October 25, the rake fee is expected to be adjusted to 4%, which in combination will offset much of the cost of playing to the average user. The team will move this motion to a poll this week, as part of its sustainable operation strategy.

we all hate losing, we support this one ser

As I’ve mentioned in my previous post in the other topic, I do support any move to ensure the solvency of the protocol. Given the current price of TPT, it is highly unprofitable to run a low TPT SB/BB table. This topic should focus on ensuring that the smallest TPT SB/BB table is pegged to a rate, for an example, the lowest table should be $1/$2 , therefore, if the TPT price falls to $0.05, the smallest table should be 20/40.

This ensures that the team is able to be flexible to suspend and re-active the tables should the TPT price fluctuates upwards or downwards.

Thanks for the response, @MaxCallisto

We fully agree with you. Right now we are doing this manually, temporarily suspending them after polling. However, we are going to do this in a more “dynamic” function. We will consult the community, execute via governance, but you’re completely right – we need to automate this.
