Default Re: Sit and Gos- Is the rake fair?

If we're going to relate this to fisheries, as a High School Geography teacher, I can tell you that the biggest problem with Canada's East and West Coast fisheries in the past 50 years has been overfishing. Instead of relating players to fish, let's relate money to fish, since there's only so much of it to go around.

Stars is "overfishing" the player base by taking too much rake.

If all the money is going to the site, the sit and gos collapse (like they've done at the 335s+ .. I could only get 1 going tonight).

As in the poker case, sure, technology is a problem, but it's not going away (are we supposed to forget ICM?) and it's not a big problem compared to overfishing. If Stars wants their high limit SNGs to be sustainable, they're going to have to reconsider their rake structure.
