Default Re: Why is SNG rake so high?

The whole point is that the market can't bear the current rake!! That's why you see very few SNGs filling up and tons of cash games being played! There are 8 active $25/50 NL tables on Stars right now and 7 $10/20 NL. As far as I can see there are no $525 and $1050 SNGs being played, which is a total joke. Believe me Pokerstars has no idea what they're doing when it comes to SNGs.

The easiest thing to do is just have a 'promo week' where SNGs are advertised with half the rake that's being offered now. If their SNG business doesn't AT LEAST double then they shut down the idea after a week. Obviously they will get way more than 2x their current business but they'll never do such a thing.

WTF.
