The house takes all the money.

[HANABI]

The problem is if you want to play cards online there is no better alternative. WPX has no or little rake but it sucks, the player pool is tougher and nearly nonexistant. So it really comes down to 2 choices:

a) don't play
b) play on a major site and try to win while getting raped up the ass by rake

Since all the major sites are charging about the same rake (which is A LOT), they probably don't consider it worthwhile lowering the rake to attract more players from other sites, since the majority of people that play are fish and could care less where they play, they just want to gamble. So from a site's business perspective it really comes down to, either lowering the rake to attract the regulars, which would undoubtedly result in losing millions of dollars annually or taking that money and using it to promote their site to attract more fish. Poker sites are in business to make money, not to make the regulars happy.

I just wish there was a good site that wasn't so [censored] greedy, the owners in charge would really have to care more about its players and the game than the money.
