i don't think i understand this structure. before every hand do they take a dollar from every player? what if you don't play the hand? what constitutes "playing a hand"?
i also assume you mean 5/10 limit. maybe if it was 5/10 NL it might be worth it.
i think 20-25 hands in hour would be the highest you can see in that period of time, so $25 an hour? seems really high.
why don't they just do a time charge instead?
