Re: Issues with the rake
thats a lot of money coming off of the table for sure. im not gonna speculate on if it is beatable or not because that has too much to do with factors that i have no idea about. certainly it could be beat if the players were bad enough and you were good enough...
anyways the one thing im interested in but not sure about is if you should tighten up or not. my first impression was that you should play significantly tighter and make many less stabs at small ptts, which is my general strategy in games where the rake is prohibitive. If these games were raked at 10% with the same max i would definitely think that would be the right course of action. Since the game is 5% though im not sure if that adjustment is necessary or not in small pots. maybe someone with more experience in these sorts of games could comment.
if it were me in the game i think i would still tighten up considerably. even aside from the rake it sounds like this is not the sort of game that you are going to make a lot of money stealing small pots. i would have an overall tighter gameplan and not fight as much as usual over the small pots.
