Beating the Rake

[Kmon]

at mgm 2/5 rake was a max of $4 bucks and buy in was 500 with 10% rake. I made that back in drinks easily.

yo man, thats a great rake, and that games ultra profitable, your friend thinks he knows what hes talking about, but hes a fish, spend your time playing him heads up with no rake instead

Where is this game at? What casino? I havent heard of a rake this low in even Vegas, AC, or Tunica, and I doubt any midwest states which are much higher would offer this. Overseas games are typically higher than U.S., so OP, what are you talking about? The only places I can think of are in Reno or Laughlin or are you talking about some home game?

you think $3 is bad, try Amsterdam where the 10/20 is 5% and maxes out when the dealer gets tired of doing math.

I hear you, I only come there when I'm ready to lose some money. Especially the lowest limits 2/4 they have got a 10% rake on those.

$3 max rake at $5-10 is highly beatable. Los Angeles $4-8 was beatable for ~$6-10 an hour when the drop was mandatory $4+1(not so sure anymore with the dollar on the river) so your game is very beatable.

Most players here wish their games dropped that small an amount.

Whoever told you that is probably trying to keep you away from the game

Thanks for all the input! I thought it sounded good. The Casino is the Emerald Casino in Saskatoon, Canada. usually only 2 or 3 tables going, limit only.
