Re: I think rake by the hour sux
punkass, I agree with you at the end of your reply. I'm talking about me or any one player what it costs, not what the casino makes per hour. In the 2/5 game the casino is making $120/hr. not $100 with a timed rake. With a $4 max rake per pot, only the winner pays rake while the others helped generate it. So if all 30 hands/pots per hour generated the max $4 rake, then the house would also make $120/hr (not likely). This of course is better for the house, which usually means it's worse for the players. I was just giving an example of what could happen.
Whatever time you spend thinking on a hand isn't costing you vs. a timed rake. If your running into a cold deck, your losing less money in rake. Only when your on a rush will it be an advantage to have a timed rake.
