Live (B&M) 6/12 Lose rate

The important point here is that you only pay the rake and tip when you win a pot. A tight player does not enter very many hands and does not win very many pots compared to the loose players at the table. As a tight player you do not pay $21 an hour. You would have to win 4 pots per hour to pay that much. A tight player is not going to win 4 pots per hour, unless you are on a hot streak. You will probably average around 2 to 3 pots and hour.

It is the loose players at the table who win more pots that pay most of the rake and tips. Now that means the loose players go broke faster because of the rake, but that is not your problem as long as there is a waiting list of loose players to replace them when they go broke.
