I am sure that you know that a game with a high rake structure is UNBEATABLE in the long run. You didn't say what limit you play there, so maybe you can do ok, but for anyone playing $2-4 (maybe other limits too)or below the Pokerroom game with the high rake they have is UNBEATABLE in the long run.

No, I don't play limit. However, I think we are overreacting a bit, especially saying their new rake structure is UNBEATABLE in the long run. You ever played at a B&M casino?

It doesn't benefit me to argue the beatability of the games, though.

$2-4 and under (limit) is unbeatable live because of the rake. Not even to mention the tips.

Phil Hellmuth says on his DVD that any game $2/4 and under is unbeatable in the long run because of the rake. Phil makes more mony at poker than you do - he knows what he is talking about.

Nice first post.

If Phil said that, Phil is wrong.

Phil Hellmuth is wrong about many things when it comes to limit poker.

You can definately win at $2/4 live, the rake is horrendous but the play is awful. You need to make many adaptations because of the horrendous players.

These changes are in the complete opposite direction to Phil Hellmuths style of play -- he couldn't beat $2/4 without changing his style.

I've been boycotting PokerRoom for almost 5 months already. Although, I was pulling 2.5BB/100 over 35k hands. I'm sure they miss me.
