Absolute Rake Problem

[adsman]

I too am having a problem with the absolute MGR being less than half what it should be, and I got the latest pokertracker patch the day it was available. But of more concern to me is the actual rake. To be precise;

On Sunday I played an Absolute session of 1/2 limit 6max where I played 137 hands. I won $20.87. I paid $23.26 of rake. This is obscene.

I noticed the problem during the session when I was blind stealing. I stole the blinds, raised $2.00, the blinds folded, pot is $3.50, $2.50 comes my way and a buck goes to the rake. With no flop. WTF? I'm risking $2 to win 0.50c??

This happened to me four times. It happened another 5 times that I saw to other players at the table. When I went back over my pokertracker stats I saw some other alarming discrepencies.
This is a copy of the email that I sent to their support.

To whom it may concern,

Playing on your 1/2 limit 6max tables today I noticed that my blind steals were being raked. To be precise;
Folded to me on the button. I raise. Blinds fold. $3.50 in the pot. No flop. $2.50 to me and a $1 rake charge. So in effect I am risking $2 to make 0.50c.
I checked your rake information and it states that your policy is to not charge a rake if there is no flop. Further, you state that your rake charge for this limit is 0.25c for every $5 in the pot. This however is not the case.

Here are some situations where it occured for you to have a look at.
Hand numbers;
210683909
210682077
210675759

Numerous others for other players at the table that I made a note of and can send you if you want. Your rules also state that the maximum rake for 1/2 limit is $2.00. Here are some examples where that doesn't add up.

210861616 - $2.25 paid on a $8.50 pot. (That is more than 25% rake)
210677444 - $2.25 paid on a $9.00 pot.
210666336 - $3.50 paid on a $35 pot, (I didn't win this but I had to mention it.)
210664617 - $3.00 paid on a $25.50 pot.

And my personal favourite;

210671514 - $2.00 rake paid on a $5.00 pot.

I've just moved to absolute from party where I have been a player since 2003. I've never seen anything like this before. Your assistance would be very much appreciated on this matter.

After emailing absolute support I received a stock standard answer saying that my problem had been referred to the floor manager or something and that, "they were there for me." Since then nothing.

I don't give a rats arse about the money but I'm not playing again at absolute until I receive some sort of explanation. Thought I would share this with you.
