Default Is medium stakes poker even beatable with a rake.

So far at the new rakefee site, wsex, i'm up 300 bucks and have saved 2090 dollars in rake fees. And i play at almost a semi pro level. So my conclusion that people are wasting their money if u have to pay rake to play medium stakes.

I think people should wake up and smell the coffee.. support wsex and have a chance at really winning for a change.

Do u think that medium stakes is even marginally beatable long term with a standard rake?

If it's not spam, then it belongs in the "beginner's" forum or something.

Edit: yes, it's beatable.

Do you even need to ask? Of course not.

I have a friend who knows a friend who's up 150 dollars over the long term at NL200. But i don't know if that's true, i dont really believe people can win over the long haul also, the house always wins

I'm a calling station and I go on tilt all the time, but I've beat "medium stakes poker" like a redheaded stepchild over 100,000 hands. Maybe this is just a lucky upswing.

So far this month I have paid Party Poker almost $1300 in rake. I am up in arms about what to do, I will never see that money again!

We have awakened, but WPEX does not have NL short handed.
