$300 buy-in NL Live - $4 rake on every flop - best way to beat it?
 

I'm curious about these $300 buy-in live NL games that have $3 rake on every flopped hand and $1 jackpot rake every hand flopped or not. The blinds are $2 and $5 with stacks ranging from $100 to $2,000. Just wondering what you guys think is the best general strategy for playing those games.
Thanks

That's my point. I'm wondering if the rake structure makes it close to unbeatable. You are certainly paying a very high percentage on most pots that are not very large. Even when you steal the blinds, you are paying $1 to the jackpot. When you raise to $20 or $25 pre-flop and get called, you are paying $4 every time. Brutal rake, just wondering if it is beatable even against bad players.

I've got a $2-5 (sometimes 5-10) live pot limit game that usually takes $5 every normal pot or maybe $10 on a big pot. It's a complete ripoff and the guys that play there are either ignorant of the ripoff or the money doesn't really matter, b/c they are there for fun.... So basically, despite the rake structure it's still as beatable as a redheaded stepchild.

IMO, the best way to beat games with rakes of $4+/hand is to run the game and skim the rake yourself.
