Default Why do sites even bother with raking games less than .25/.50?

I see the raked pots in the micro games, pot=.27, rake is .01. WTF? Do sites really make any real money by doing this? Just seems like a slap in the face when they are making a killing otherwise. Overall sites are just getting too greedy IMO and it's going to bite them in the ass someday.

Assume 1 hand a minute at 100 tables at a time. Thats 6000 hands an hour. You take an effen penny from these tables and in one day you made $1440. In one year you make over half a million.


Of its greed. They arent running the sites out of the goodness of their hearts.
