It will be more at 10/20 since more pots will reach $70.

Yeah way more. And, I was wrong, it's $60 where they take the third dollar and at $50 they take $2.50 now.

So the rake at stars had been higher than party, until now?

They went and capped the number of 30/60's again last month. Granted 25 > 6, but they obviously must feel that the fish are losing it too fast.

As if the fish that bust at 30/60 won't go play 2/4 to build back up and feed their addiction.

That's what I don't understand. The rake at party has always been $3 for 6-10 players I thought.

I keep a massive party 5/10 mined database (pm me if you wanna buy). It evinces a .13BB/100 increase in rake due to the changes.

[/ QUOTE ]

.13BB/100 is .09BB/100 after rakeback. Really not much at all if you're right.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats several hundred dollars a month for a full time player. Thats a car payment.

Rake is like another gambling tax and this is just inflation. Awful, of course, but that's what happens when a pokerroom has a near monopoly on idiots and mongoloids. I second the idea that the most disturbing effect of this is going to be fish breaking slightly sooner.

we assume they are morons, but a company that large has to have some intelligent people making some input.

This is a seriously bad assumption to make.
Experience has taught me that both the Peter principle and the Dilbert principle apply, always, and everywhere.
Even if there were intelligent people providing input it would be dismissed and ignored by management.
If it looks like stupidity, it probably is...
