I have been to places that are 10% up to $10 for 1/2 pot. Houston clubs make a killing from poker being illegal here.

$10 max rake in a 1/2 game?? Is that beatable at all? I know this isn't HS but that rake seems nuts. Assume $200 buyin for the 1/2 and $1000 for 5/10 with same structure, the 5/10 would have 10% $50 max rake. Pardon me?

Not really except for people are terrible....it is where I started playing. They also pull $1 out for bad beat and $1 for high hand. Two tables running all night and they pay $100 for high hand.
