Re: Red Rock rake rises

Man, I played the 8-16 tonight and it was bitch-city all over the room. I heard probably 10 discussions about the rake. I am sure it is here to stay, as stations greed will overcome any player considerations, but people were not taking it well, verbally at least (we will see what their actions are).

Let's see.
RR raises rake, players are bitching.
THEY STILL PLAY!!!!!!
Sounds like the WSOP players griping about $6 hamburger, but ordering 2.
Poker players are funny people.

I have no illusions that this will get reversed, or that you aren't correct that people will still play, but it did just happen Sat at midnight. There may still be some fallout from players from this - I wouldn't expect people to march out the first time they sit down. It may affect where they go next time for a few.
This may help the suncoast room A LOT - 3 dollar max rake there on all games.
The 8-16 actually is not too bad as they step the rake like Wynn does, not a straight 10% - the last dollar doesn't come out until $120 pot. That eases the pain a little.
To whoever asked about NL, the pots are raked at 1-2 and 2-5, not a time charge. I am not sure about 5-10 or the 10-25 they got going this past weekend as I don't play that high.
