Yeah, I wish I could help out here, but I decided PR sucks BIGTIME long ago, when I cashed out only 1/200000 of the way to my BIG initial deposit bonus. . . life is too short!!

so it takes 1 dollar from the pot at 10 dollars now? This means that the bonus should clear faster for lower limit players at least... but I'm with you guys, I wouldn't play there without a bonus.

Does anyone know if the pokerroom skins (hollywood in particular) are using the same new rake structure?

It's the same table! Same players, same dealer, same rake!

Im playing PLO 50, and they are maxing rake at $1 a pot for 10 people. Most pots are $60-70. Is that worse than before? It seems like it might be better.

Folks, please read the rake structure before you fly off the handle. The rake is more at certain particular pot sizes, and they pull from even very small pots, where they didn't before. But the MAX RAKE AT ANY TABLE IS 1 BB. If you play 2/4, that means they never rake more than $2, ever. It isn't clear to me that this structure is any worse than before, although it does mean that .25/.50 player can never clear a bonus.

If you play at micro-limits, it might be bad. But tight aggressive players (that's all of you, right?) should think this is just fine.

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.

Well that settles it.

Maybe the Limit rake isnt so bad, but for No-Limit games the rake structure is a lot worse.

At 200NL ($2 BB), $2 is raked from a $24 pot - to me this seems a bit excessive.
