TIME TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST RAKE GREED
 

Mason argued along time ago that over raked games are bad for the a card room in the long run. Party and Full Tilt and many of the other rooms are simply raking far too much money. We as a community have to tell Howard Lederer and Phil Ivey and Jennifer Harmon and ALL of the friends of Full Tilt that what they are doing isn't cool. We supported the creation of these "poker personalities" and now they are greedily raking as much as they can. They make millions and those of us who have been their friends for a long time and taught them most of what they know return the favor by forgetting us. SO NEXT TIME YOU FIND YOURSELF AT A TABLE WITH ONE OF THESE GUYS TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE NO FRIEND OF FULL RAKE POKER.

When you turned on the WPT channel.

Re: TIME TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST RAKE GREED
 

I will play poker wherever I can make the most money. If the rake is more by the players are worse, overcoming an extra $1 rake per hand is easy when the big bets are $20.

If there happens to be a rake free site that is just as soft with good software, then I will play there. I however do not expect such a thing to happen.

Re: TIME TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST RAKE GREED
 

Would you pay $5/hand? How about $6?

Re: TIME TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST RAKE GREED
 

I AGRESS WITH THIS GUY. GIVE BACK MY MONEY!

Full rake killed my parents, and raped my dog

Re: TIME TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST RAKE GREED
 

I have also been saying this for years. Many sites just plain rake too much.

As you can see by the quality of responses to your very important argument, however, most donks just don't care about the rake. They don't even understand that the rake busts the fish much faster and ruins the games over time.

One way to get around this is to specialize in tourneys and refuse to pay the rake. Unfortunately, I don't believe I've ever seen a rake war. I've seen rooms build a strong following by using a low rake (ala stars) to attract players to particular games (remember the $1 rake max 15-30 razz games at the Dust during the Casino era). I've never seen one room respond to another by cutting the rake. They compete very heavily on bs promotions, but never on the rake itself.

Thus, you can expect few intelligent responses. The donk's are just too stupid to realize how much the rake affects them.

How about this? To the tune of Camptown Races:

To play you got to pay the rake, Doo-da, Doo-da.
But for God's sake, we need a break, Oh, de doo-da day.

Full Rake rakes too much.
That's what I say.
I always hated corporate scum.
So it's poker I play.

The live ones are all going bust, Doo-da, Doo-da.
But Howie and Phil don't give a damn, Oh, de doo-da day.

We got lots of cash.
Screw you all we say.
We will rake the games to death.
Every freaking day.

Howie is on TV again, Doo-da, doo-da.
Saying when to raise the turn, Oh, de doo-da day.

Teach them what to do.
Teach them what to play.
Soon every body left will play quite well.
And the rake will dominate.

Howie and Phil are all brands now, Doo-da, doo-da.
Like Snickers or Starkbucks, Oh, do doo-da day.

They are a real joke.
Not real people anymore.
So when you see them at tournament,
Tell them what they are good for.

Thanks. This is the most retarded thing I have read all week.

Re: TIME TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST RAKE GREED
 

Ummm...you're wrong.

The players around here do care about the rake. A lot in fact.
That's why so many are trying the new rake-free site.

1. Tourneys have rake too. What are you talking about "not paying the rake by playing tourneys?"

2. reload bonuses are pretty much the same as a significant rake-reduction.
