Worst cardroom rake?
Just curious as to what the worst rake is you guys have seen in a cardroom. My local casino the Treasury for $5/$10 stakes only ever has one 5% commission table running and the other $5/$10 tables take a $1 Ante per person, per hand (that goes to the house, not the pot).
The worst part is that until you are a regular you need to bear the Ante tables before you can even get close to the commission table (which can be up to a two hour wait)... Nightmarish...

(eg its $2 rake for a $24 pot but $3 for a $25 pot).

Treasury sucks, so does Jupiters you don't even have commission option just $1 drop on every table. Lucky the play is disgraceful so you can still make money. [/ QUOTE ] I agree and disagree... If you get a hand on the ante tables you will get paid off BIG time... The only trouble is you're also going to get sucked out a lot more. You have to run really hot on these tables to make money unfortunately. Never really done Jupiters down the Gold Coast... If I'm going that far I might as well go to the Poker Dome at Tweed.

Re: Worst cardroom rake?
Upon reading your site my advice is to move up to 10/20 asap It seems you have sufficent skills to still win at this level and the play is only slightly better and a lot of the time worse than 5/10 commission.
While I don't really wanna welcome any TAGs to the game as I personally play it a fair bit you might help start a game off a lot earlier than it does when I'm in playing thus not having to endure 5/10 ante game which as discussed is not particularly profitable.
