My question then is this:

If you are playing 30 hands per hour, how many hands do you win? Is it 10%? 3 Hands per hour.

If all are max raked you are paying 12 bucks an hour to play aren't you?

Just a thought

If you're at a full table, an average player would expect to win 10% of his hands; obviously, a tighter player less than 10% and looser more than 10%. That's the reasoning for tight players liking rake more-- if you win 7% of pots, you're paying more like $8.50/hr, while a LAG might pay more like $20/hr, and really hope for a time charge.

Your reasoning applies to an average-looseness player, which is why the casino doesn't really care which happens.
