What is a Fair Rake?

[EWillers]

[ QUOTE ]
By fair I mean enough for the room to pay its employees a living wage and turn a profit. And low enough that good players can still win at poker.

If this is offered as your opinion on how to define "fair", ok. I disagree.

If this is a parameter as to how you want "fair" defined in the discussion on this thread, then disregard all I have to contribute.

Why? It read just fine to me.

It wasn't clear to me what the goal of the thread was to be.

1) "Fair" will be defined as "x". Solve for y (where y is a $).

2) What is the nature of "fair" as it relates to the rake in a cardroom. Given that definition, what would a "fair" rake be?
