Rake at a casino to hard to beat?

[Texibus]

What would make a casino rake just to hard to beat. I'm a low no limit player online, and i've been the casino once before. I only walked out of there with and extra 20 bucks.
They have session fees and were 6 dollars for every 30 mins you play. I felt like this was insane it made it damn near impossibe to keep up and win big. Obviously if the session fee stayed the same at the 200nl table it'd be beatable but at 100 i'm losing over a 10th of my stack every hour.

Is this rake normal for No Limit or does it seem high? what would be a good session fee?

i'm not really seasoned in B&M play but that seems fairly standard. I paid $5/half hour to play 1/2nl with a buy-in capped at $100 in a casino in Canada. it does seem ridiculous to me as well.

If it costs you $12/hr to play $100NL at a casino it probably makes the game not worth playing, as you're just not getting enough hands in to overcome the rake. The players would have to be complete nits to even make the decision close.

Rake is usually preferable for tight players, what your referring to is commonly called a time payment and $6/half is high for 1-2. The good 1-2 players I know in AC make about 15BB/hr paying about $10 rake/hr and your paying $12/hr so it's definately beatable if the game is good.
