Default How much have YOU paid in rake so far in 2005??

By my calc's, I have paid online poker rooms $55,000 for the 'privilege' of using their services in 2005. That's more than my salary from my previous job (before I quit to enroll in grad school / play poker).

Another way to look at it: back when I used to multi-table the 2/4 and 3/6 games, I remember my PT said that I used to pay an amount in rake that was nearly equivalent to my total winnings. Imagine new casino opened up that advertised rake-free games, with the caveat that you had to fork over to the casino half of whatever you won. You'd prob tell them to go F themselves. And yet we happily make the same bargain with the poker sites.

Thank god the rake isn't nearly as big a % of my winnings at 20/40 and up.

On Party I've paid $31,339. I don't import hamds from Stars or UB, but half my play is there........... not so terrible, but it would be nice if I had gotten rakeback on 30% of the whole amount, I could use an extra $10K right now.
