Pacific Poker increased the rake to $4.
 

Pacific Poker increased their max rake to $4 per pot. They just came out with a great revenue report too. It is a [censored] joke. Boycott this site until they lower back to $3. Hell, it should be a $1.

This would be like cutting my nose off to spite my face...

Re: Pacific Poker increased the rake to $5.
 

It's actually up to $5 in the high limit games.

And you'll like the particularly friendly clause: "Additional rake of 1¢ will be taken for every additional 20¢ between consecutive pot sizes."

So now they want to charge live rake fees without the overhead? What idiot is going to play on that site? Oh yeah they are growing all the time, boy I which I could bottle what they are selling.........

So which site will be the first to go to $6 now?

Re: Pacific Poker increased the rake to $5.
 

I always thought with increased competition the rake would drop? Where are the posters that have an economics degree, please tell us how Pacific Poker(and other sites) is defying the laws of economics?

Re: Pacific Poker increased the rake to $4.
 

easily the top 3 worst run online pokerrooms of all time. They had the leverage to do great things as one of the biggest online casinos and they been blowin it for the last 4 years-they've got the crappiest software and the most retarded managemnet in the bizness right now.

-now they are going to raise the rake.

If they had made a concerted effort to really focus on poker and create a decent software platform they could have easily been a top 3 room. They pissed away a huge oppurtunity and they still just dont get it.

Sorry, they are not defying the laws of economics.

Baaah, Baaah, people are sheep. Did you stop driving your car when gas in the US jumped to $3.50 a gallon?

no, but if there were 50 other gas stations selling it for $2.50 I would probably buy from them.

More worryingly, which site is going to be next?
