Confusion About Party Conventional Wisdom.

all the math will not get across. Look at it this way. Last year I decided to play the 2/4 BBJ tables instead of my regular 2/4 tables. Did not run to great for the whole month. Like 1.1bb/100. Then at the end of the month my RB was off by like $600! i tried to figure out what was going on and it turns out I paid 3k in extra rake for the month of may(no rb on this). 3k out of pocket. The monster tables now drop at $5 instead of the normal 5BB's. My guess is I would have been paying more like 4k if that was the case.

so 3 to 4,000 dollars per month for a full time 2/4 player will be going to the monster promo.

#1. It's not rake
#2. There's such a thing as a "full time 2/4 player"?
#3. Only 30% of the drop goes to the Monster promo. The rest goes into funding the typically +EV bad beat jackpot. When the jackpot is +EV, it doesn't matter if your 50 cents is adding to it or paying for your arch-rival's laundry, +EV is +EV (yes variance, blah blah).
#4. I don't think there's anything left to say about this promo that hasn't been said already. I doubt they'll cool the monster tables until after the WSOP so we'll just have to live with it.
