Re: Most Incredibly High Rake?

This may be the highest rake ever - don't know. Can you top it?

Two candidates:
1) Hollywood Park eTables about eight months ago:
NL with 1-2 blinds. One limper. Me in SB folds. Pot is $5 not counting drop/rake. Flop comes x-x-x. eTable computer graphics show the $1 jackpot drop and the $1 "modified" drop that they take on no flop removed from pot leaving three $1 chips. BB bets pot ($3) or nearly pot. Limper folds. Graphics show five chips (bet plus pot) sliding to BB (this I'm not 100% sure of, perhaps 98% sure). BB wins pot but her stack is actually $2 smaller after the hand (this I'm sure of; I played this propped, tight game after a long day on the main floor just to see how they would handle rake/drop). eTable computer disingenuously disguises the fact they take full drop ($4 plus $1) on any flop meaning they took everything.
2) Commerce Casino about twelve to five years ago. 3/6 limit holdem. Someone open raises. Blinds ($3 BB plus $1 SB) fold. Everything is dropped ($3 to house, $1 to jackpot). Open raiser does get his money back.
LA doesn't have the highest absolute drop but they sure know how to rape a small pot. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
