He would deal about 6-8 hours at around 15-20 hands/hr, I'm not sure what % of hands get the cap but it's surely not all.

Rocky and Johnny Chan played 2 SnGs for 100K. Rocky won both. A 300/600NL game was then stated with Rocky Johnny Chan, and a Scandinavian pro ( in a private suite ) who's Identity I do not no. Apparently Rocky 2-outered a pot for 250K Euro+ which put him almost 500k ahead as of yesterday.

I wouldn't play that in a private suite with unknown( especially for high-stakes ) , where U have no garantee of any "cheat" or whatever.

where the rake is capped at 250 Euro

I wanna run that game

[/ QUOTE ]

The sick part is I was thinking, damn, huge rake. Over 6 BB's in rake...then I thought about my own game, 25NL lol. The cap is 12 BB on most sites, unreal.

(Obviously the fact that edges against weaker players in 25NL are usually much larger than those in 20-40, plus rakeback, makes it not really a fair comparison; still makes ya think though.)

I play NL400 to 1000, so rake is between .30BB to .75BB and then you remove bonuses, rakeback, etc. I can't believe they play for 6 BB, unreal.

In Israel in underground clubs the rake is 10% and capped at 50$.
I still won't ever play there again.
