Default Hilarious observation to note re: high stakes games

Not sure if anyone has ever noticed/mentioned this before, but check this out. This is from the hand history I posted from 200/400NL on FTP.

"Total pot $200,275.50 | Rake $0.50"

WTF, $200k pot and only 50 cent rake!!!! Wow, they take more rake than that in low stakes games!!!!!

No wonder the high-stakes guys are making so much money, the rake is so low!

Anyway, thought this was an awesome observation that many of you would find hilarious to discuss.

Does anyone know if there are other high stakes games with crazy low rake like that?

The rake kills these games, far more action without it imo.

this is the type of [censored] you read on the rail at ftp, not in an ElD post.

it's pretty simple. just like in the big game, all the players are pretty much as good as each other. so if the rake was the standard $2 they would basically be just pushing money back and forth and the only winner would be the site. kudos to ftp for sucking it up and capping the rake at fitty cent.
