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.

I believe in his book Play Poker Like the Pros, Phil also says any pocket pair can be played for 2 or 3 bets preflop in limit hold 'em.

I can't believe you guys are giving the Pokerroom.com guy such a hard time. He made a very reasonable post concerning the rake changes, along with plans to make corrections where needed. How many other poker sites are going to do something like this, much less even acknowledge the complaints?

Pokerroom has consistently handled PR and customer service at a level few other sites manitain (Stars, for example). Keep up the good work.

Well, maybe I am not as upset as others because I am not a 2/4 limit player. For the 2/4 limit players, I guess I can understand being mad when your game becomes virtually unplayable by rake changes. Perhaps the rake schedule will be adjusted again to bring games like 2/4 back in line a bit.

I'm just saying that the responses on this thread like "screw you!" "shut up greedy bastard" are pointless. Here we have a rep from the site actually addressing the concerns, and you guys are acting like little kids. How many Party bitch-threads get PartyPoker.com guy responding saying he will look into it?

Why not just e-mail them a link to this thread?

You end up paying less rake if you play higher limit

The amount of rake I was paying in tiny pots when playing the $400 and $600 NL short handed seemed very large to me.

If anyone has a decent number of hands at 2/4 and 3/6 5-max with the new structure, I have a bunch from the old for comparison. I'll post the number when I get home.
