Re: Time to compare the rakes on all the sites?
[ QUOTE ]
Seeing all these threads caused me to look at the rake on Absolute.
It is 10 times worse there.

compared to what? Absolute has a standard 5% max just like the majority of sites out there. while AP does have an issue about raking too EARLY compared to what is on their published chart (for example - the say they rake 50c for every $10 on $2/4 LHE, but in actuality it's 25c for every $5), the do not have an issue with raking too MUCH like this change at pokerroom.
only bad rake sched that people have tolerated over time is the 50c/$5 and $1/$12 at the party skins. this is because the higher vig is completely offset by the bonus structure, and also due to the super soft games. the combination of a poor rake/bonus ratio on pokerroom now coupled with a horrible rake schedule which INTENTIONALLY impedes bonus clearing ability is what caused the pot to boil over.
if other sites got out of line then the zoo would react accordingly as they did today. there is no immediate need for a wide scale witch hunt of sites whose rake scheds have stayed the same for years.
