$100 Heads SNG. Each players pays $5 to the house. You are risking $105 to win $95. 5% disadvantage.

Discuss.

Are you seriously serious?

i stop playing live because of the rake/tip/food/gas/wait. Nobody can make a living play 1/2nl or less.

The rake and tips are expenses. Same as if you rented a storefront or an office. You buy food and gas whether you drive to an office or a casino.

Although there is an old guy at the Mirage who brings his own bag lunch everyday. I guess he doesn't like getting a free buffet comp everyday [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

5% rake in a SNG?

Try 23% for 120 SNG at Foxwoods, WORST % ever. Almost unbeatable

Where are all these people coming from?

I'd say that the new posters should have to meet some sort of criteria, but I don't even think some of the mods could meet it.

It will all be over soon..

The casual/bad players realize they can't win. The games will dry up and the 'good' players who bottom feed will start to lose..
I cant wait!

YES ~ As I have said before...there needs to be set of tests or something to post here.

Eight times out of ten, your guess would be correct.
