Why do people always look at it this way? "All the sharks are just gunna pass their stacks around when the fish dry up". "I dont wanna sit at a table full of rocks" Guess what, being a shark is a relative term. When I sit at a 1/2 table, Im a huge shark, when I sit at a 100/200 table im not. Table full or rocks or no, if you are the best player there, you are going to make money, if you arent the best player, you will lose money. And since the house isnt there taking money off the table, your profit will be based entirely on your edge against the other people at your table. I can see how this would be scary if you arent very good, but if you are good at poker (relative to your competition) then youll be ok. Maybe it will mean you have to drop a limit or something, but so what? Its all about the profit, if you can get more profit playing a higher limit with rake at another site that has fish, then go do so. But there will be plenty of people who will make more money at a rake free even if their edge over the competition is a little lower.

Also, the number of people on this forum that think 2+2 is read by only really good players is mind boggeling, do you ever read the stratedgy forums? This place is alive with fish, so yes, there are tens and tens of thousands of players who understand that rake is bad and who also suck at poker, so the potential is still large for a rake free site to be stocked full of fish. Look at how many millions of dollars a day party takes off the poker tables, now imagine what it would be like if those millions of dollars a day were kept in play.
