Default Getting RAPED by the Rake?

http://www.cardrunners.com/fusetalk/...cfm?forumid=34


i look at this guys post from june 2nd and may 27 and you can see that the rake he paid is ridiculous. are there any sites that don't rape us this bad? do they all charge $3.00 a hand?

for $1/2 NL what % of players can make a decent profit, i'm guessing maybe 20% of the players over the long haul, or am i way off.

How is the game selection on World Poker Exchange? This seems like a dream come true.

the lower stakes are ok.. the higher stakes are toughish but still worth it.. problem is if you multitable it just isnt happening at WPX.. also OP are you having trouble beating some game and blaming rake?

Why isn't multi-tabling possible?

yeah, if it wasn't for the excessive rake i'd make about $200/week.

it's all the darn rakes fault. those greedy bastards want to take all my money. they don't care if i go hungry or have to sleep under a bridge.

Is $200/wk even enough to live on? If you work minimum wage for 40 hours a week, you'd make more than this.

Are you playing for a living?
