[ QUOTE ] No, it is true. [/ QUOTE ] Then you suck at poker. [/ QUOTE ] Typical pathetic 2+2 post. I dont know 1 player who has beat the 2/4. Dutch Boyd bragged on his site that when he was a prop he could beat any level in the casino except 2/4. Are there any props out there beating 2/4 in a live casino? Did not think so. BTW I will never play at pokeroom. Rake should be going down, not up.

[/ QUOTE ] I had just started this bonus chase. As I had never played 1/2 at Poker Room, my PT stats are strictly from this chase. So far I've played 332 hands (Been sick last 2 days and haven't played alot.) Accrued 125 points of the 700 need to clear. (Only deposited $500 for $100 bonus) Rake paid is $14.80. I've cleared about 18%...or $18 of the bonus (don't have a calculater handy.) So it appears clearing the bonus is still profitable....at least at 1/2.

[ QUOTE ] $2-4 and under (limit) is unbeatable live because of the rake. Not even to mention the tips. [/ QUOTE ] Untrue. [/ QUOTE ] Here is a good explanation from espn of why 2/4 is unbeatable: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker...ory?id=2128589

Agreed . . .
Most B&M 2-4 games are easily beatable, although you will be the lowest paid person in the cardroom; the $6/hr coat-check girl is likely making more than you are.

Re: Pokerroom boycott!
I don't play PokerRoom but sure would love to know what happened.
Other sites are also bad. AP rakes a pot even as low as $1. I think (not 100% sure) that Pacific rakes uncalled bets too. That's the impression I got when I played there though I never checked out exactly.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't technically care if they rake 1c out of 20c pots, but 5% should be the max across the board unless the bonus can offset it. this is clearly not the case with pokerroom's new structure.
