Is 200NL Live even profitable?

Seriously...with $5 a hand being taken off the table, and some players only buying in for $100, let's assume there is $1500 at the table at start. After three orbits, 10% of the money on the table is gone. Now i've been at games where no one leaves, no one busts and rebuys in at least two hours. In this situation, there's like 25% of the TOTAL amount of money going into the dealers pocket/rake drop box.

Waste

Of

Time

I don't see how anyone can sit at these games and think they're going to consistently win.

I have played with the exact same stack of chips at the Venetian for almost a month now, 5-6 hours a day every day. I would double it, take the winnings back the next day and lose them all.

Go back the next day with the multicolored stack, double it, lose the winnings back the next day. (If you play 1-2 at the V last month you now know who I am)

After that month of fun play, but no money won, I went to the Mirage with the $200 and got stacked in a whopping single orbit.....so now I'm down.......
