good point but i think its true only to an extent. if the rake got exceedingly high at a site or two, even the fish and donks would figure it out eventually. they would move to the cheaper sites. the cheap sites would notice this; the high rent sites would say we effed up. capitalism is a good thing.

if you were in a remote locale, why did you need to use a bathroom? [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

BTW, i have stopped playing the crypto's due to their outrageous raked hand requirements and do their casinos instead.

Many ring games especially the higher limits have been killed by the rake, the sharks, or competition. Your clearly just looking at the short term. The cryptos will pay for this higher rake, the higher the rake the less winning players, the less players that return. Simple facts!
