Re: Beating the rake
JFK:
Your calculations, which I agree with, would indicate that most "smart" low limit players should have no problem paying an all-in (rake+tips) time charge of anything less than $15 per hour. You don't play poker for free, so the $15 per hour is a just another cost of playing like gas money.
In my above average, amateur, recreational play, my strategy is to win a smaller amount of very large pots. Thus the rake only impacts me when the rake per pot times the number of wins per hour exceeds the theorectical and unavoidable time charge.
