Issues with the rake

[n1nj4.br]

Brazilian games are 10% rake without cap.

NL5k is like nl25, so its beatable. (seriously).

I think that a little part of me would die each time I saw them raking 3 nickels from each pot instead of 3 $1 chips.

I have been to places that are 10% up to $10 for 1/2 pot. Houston clubs make a killing from poker being illegal here.

$10 max rake in a 1/2 game?? Is that beatable at all? I know this isn't HS but that rake seems nuts. Assume $200 buyin for the 1/2 and $1000 for 5/10 with same structure, the 5/10 would have 10% $50 max rake. Pardon me?

Not really except for people are terrible....it is where I started playing. They also pull $1 out for bad beat and $1 for high hand. Two tables running all night and they pay $100 for high hand.

The rake hurts the person who plays (wins) most pots..The $$ that comes off tbl isnt an issue b/c there is a house full of suckers and the game never quits...So play fewer pots stay shorter periods of time and gl...

in brazil the 5k buy in games are raked at 10% and with no maxx and are still beatable.that means if you play a 10k pot which would not be that unusual, the house rakes 1000 bucks.
im not disagreeing with you about it being beatable but man that is hard to imagine. its hard to imagine there even being any money left on the table at the end of the night.

First, that's gotta be the most insane statement I've ever heard that they'll rake 10%, no max.
Second, I stand corrected. You saying that a game like that is still beatable is the most insane thing I've ever heard.
