Default Absolute HU rake ridiculous? NLCASH

I just completed a 107 1/2 NL hand session where I was raked $35. This is about 8.5 bb/100. They cap the rake at $1 per hand. He virtually never folded pf so the rake is about the highest it can possibly be. This only took half an hour so I could potentially get raked around $150 an hour if I three tabled.

I should also mention that I got about 500 of their player points that will convert to $7.5 (if I wait out for the right level to cash them in) and have 30 percent rakeback which I suppose is equivalent to 15% heads up when you stack them so thats another 5 bucks. So really I only got raked 5.5 BB/100.

Contrast this to full tilt where I am getting raked $9/100 or 2.5BB/100 (this is averaged over 5k hands) without rakeback and where the cap is 50 cents.

I cant really do anything about just ranting...

true, i wouldn't risk playing there. He is probably safe at lower stakes but with these recent developments and [censored] rake, why bother?

Absolute just changed their HU rake to 50 cents a hand today after at least a year of being $1. Coincidence?

We don't mean it that way. Even live poker is rigged that way. There is a post somewhere about this.
