Party 30 Games, WTF?

[mmcd]

They're taking a rake on ante steals. I've certainly come to expect ridiculous things from Party, but this just boggles my mind.

I wonder how long until they start raking blind steals in the higher limit holdem games.

[Howling]

I think they will start raking you when you sit down to start up a game. You know, a buck a minute becasue you are taking up space.

They rake ante steals at Foxwoods, too.

Wow, I didn't know that. I've only played time charge stud at FW. I just figured the standard holdem "no flop, no drop" policy was generally effective.

That's what I thought before I played $20/40 stud at Foxwoods. When the $30/60 stud/8 game goes at Canterbury, there will sometimes be a dealer who tries to take a rake on a rare ante-steal, but I'm usually there to set him straight.

So they rake ante steals, and dont have any rakeback affiliation. Where is the advantage to playing here?

[Andy B]

Action, my friend. There are two full $30/60 stud games going on a Sunday morning. What other site can say this?
