Default Re: Why there will never be a rake war (longwinded)

[ QUOTE ]
There becomes a point though where higher rake will bankrupt the consumer too quickly and won't be fun for them.

If they can get say $100 and play 10 hours at $2/$4 that may be $10/hour for entertainment.

Ever rake increase makes the money dwindle quicker, they may not know why, but they will notice.

Excellent point. I don't think the rake can increase indefinately. I think my original post might have implied that, but that was not my intention. There is certainly an optimal point. I'm not sure what that point is, but I bet there are many people working for poker sites doing some research on that subject right now.
