Re: Is this rake excessive?
It was $2 per pot and I totally agree that you can't judge what a sustainable rate is based on one 10 hour session. I must say though every player that sat down was terrible and it was the only reason I kept playing. Poker has exploded in Australia in the last 12 months and Crown in Melbourne are cashing in on all the new players. I don't play professionally as I have a pretty high paying job and poker is pleasure for me. Having said that I don't like giving my money away. Yes it is true that dealers do not get tips in Australia. Australia is not a tipping culture like the US. Having said that players are forbidden to tip dealers even if they want to.
