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!

You say they aren't filling because the rake is too high, I say it's because there aren't enough fish playing at those levels.

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.

That's a good idea

Obviously they will get way more than 2x their current business but they'll never do such a thing.

It is not obvious and you should stop treating it as such.
