Default Re: Rake v Time Charge

There are other factors to consider - its the only casino in town & the nearest casino that has a decent poker section(though a much worse game) is over 800kms away.
Yes, there are some bad players. One guy who I had been playing $5/10 hold'em with (he was about even while I was up slightly) moved to the $10/20 Omaha table with me when it opened. He blew through $500 in just over an hour, and lost a pot to me when he thought he had the nut flush with only the king of spades in his hand (board had 4 spades). I had T4s & check-called him to the river & picked up a decent pot. Obviously he's not a regular Omaha player, but there were at least 2 others in the game who obviously hadn't played much Omaha previously and were donating quite a bit. Not sure if its regularly like that as I haven't sat down at the game often enough, but that's just some factors to consider, though obviously its a very high charge. As a comparisson, both the $1/2 & $2/3 No limit tables have a $5 time charge with a 10% rake which is capped - $6 for the $1/2 table & not quite sure for the $2/3 game, but think its $8). $5/10 limit is raked at 10% with a $10 cap, but no time charge.
