Re: Issues with the rake
despite the lack of sentences in russ' comment, my experience is basically everything he said is true.
BTW 5% capped at $25 a hand is standard in perth, in underground games and casinos.
I know a lot of players who beat these games over large samples. At the underground i used to play at, the rake was higher still and i would basically ALWAYS win when I played there.
Honestly you would be surprised at how much variance goes down once you factor in how huge your edge can really be against these players (and also, at underground games it is a lot more unethical to cashout when u win a big pot or whatever; most people are expected to stay at least 4 hours unless they bust..).
