Rake is an important aspect when choosing a game, an increase of $1 could easily turn a winner into a loser.

I hear about places with $5-7 rakes on 2/4-10/20 tables and i cringe.

by that rationale, I should stop tipping the dealer or else I will be a loser?

Does not follow.

I play 5-10 with a $5 rake and $1 for the bad beat jackpot.

$6 total. Not including tipping a buck when I win a big pot

Is this rake + occasional toke insurmountable at this limit?

The games are full of loose passives.

I play(ed) a 5/10 game with an identical rake structure, tipped well, and won at a decent rate over a few hundred hours. Small sample of course, but I definitely think it's very beatable.

Losing 2/3 of a big bet is significant. Compare that to 1/5 of a big bet on a loose 10-20 and it really shows. Figure the best guys on 10-20 average about 2BBs an hour. Their rates would be much less on the 3-6.

yeah, but where do you find a loose 10-20 game? I've heard most of them, around here at least, are tight and very tough

Like where?

I'd find better sources for your info. They are passive and easy. They used to be much tighter and tougher. Not now. Once in awhile they can get a bit tight, but that usually doesn't last too long. The 20-40 game, in some regards to action, is a bit easier at times. (based on muckleshoot)
