Re: Winning players actually get around 55% of the money.
avg rake at lower games is about 15 cents a hand, when you're involved, slightly less for holdem and slightly more for omaha since there are more flops seen. If you are
playing every hand I could see why rake would be such an issue, but its not 3$ unless two 100bb stacks get it in the middle (still only 1.5$/person). And any site with players doing this frequently every hour would be very profitable anyways. here is example of all in where players are only 40bb deep and rake is 1$. also if you're playing ring you will be involved less and rake will be much smaller. Online sites have relatively lower rake compared to their casino counterparts. however low stakes headsup limit online would be unprofitable in my opinion.
