Default The rake is unacceptable

”The statistics in poker tracker showed this: The last month I won $1982. I payed $1963 in rake. So the netto was $19. I donīt think itīs acceptable to pay this enormous amounts of money in rake every month. My suggestion: Give us the alternative of paying a montly fee of $500 instead of paying rake. I donīt think anyone should pay more than $500 a month for their hobby.”

I just sent this message to Full tilt poker. Please copy this, put in your own numbers and send to your poker site. The rake is unacceptable and something must be done.

Dear Aos,

Yes, we will certainly allow you to pay us 75% less rake next month because you've asked so nicely. Thank you for showing us the error of our ways.

Regards,
FTP.

I don't know what netto means but if you think you only made $19 last month then you are wrong.

The rake actually is acceptable. I've accepted it as have many other players.

it's 1:1 on your winnings (salary for your work) and rake (salary for the FTP's work - as CS, gathering fish etc. etc. et.c). I think it's a good deal.

I'm pretty sure the "amount raked" in poker tracker is the amount of rake from all the hands you played, even if you didn't win them. So that is the rake the whole table payed, divide that by the number of players to find how much each player paid. And thats not going to be exactly right as players play different styles and win more pots then others.

And im sure full tilt or pokerstars could lower their rake but players still play there with the rake as it is so they see no reason to change it.

On the General Info tab, the Total Rake figure is the amount of money taken out of pots that you personally have won. What you say above is only true for the Total Rake figure on the Summary tab.
