Re: Poker in Seattle?
I played in Seattle recently, and they have the highest "effective" rake of anywhere I've played. $5 per hand (most hands) including a $2 jackpot rake. This is even the case in their bigger games, where in most locations, jackpots and high hands aren't played.
Higher stakes players don't usually want high hands or jackpots, but Seattle seems to be the exception or it's just a case of the house making it mandatory.
What's the point of a $300 high hand every two hours in a 20-40 game? Every hand in that game is a "high hand."
