Foxwoods $1/$2 NL seat charge

[toymach776]

I am a limit not an NL player so please excuse my ignorance in this area. After being a Foxwoods limit regular for several months I was surprised to learn that they charge players $10/ hour just for the priviledge of playing 1/2 NL. Is that common? I have never heard of seat charges at that limit in any casino. Do they rake the pots in addition to this? If so, I find that highly deplorable. In terms of BB/Hour, how good of a player does one have to be to overcome this charge and still be a long term winner?

No, it's just the seat charge, no rake. If you pull down more than two pots an hour you should prefer this.

They charge time for nl and take a rake for limit.

lowest raked game is the 20-40. $4 max. all limit games higher than that, when running, are timed games... not that i ever play that high.

[JESSE G]

i meant to say 2-4 up to 20-40 is raked 10% to $4max.

If the table is a $10/hour charge then they collect $2 from every player every time a dealer pushes in. They do this instead of rakeing a percentage of every pot. This is because No Limit games tend to have fewer hands per hour from players having more difficult decisions and to account for Hollywooding...

Ahh i thought it was per player...Is it 10 per table or just 2 dollars a person per hour ?

$5 time charge each time there is a dealer push (1/2 hour). I don't know where this other guy got his numbers of $2 per down = $10 per hour.

Each player pays the time charge, so $10/player/hour.
