passive play in passive games, rakes, and the current state of 2/4 BBJ

It really seems to me that you are taking part in these games predominantly for the chance of hitting the jackpot.

From what I have seen/heard, the gamblers who play these jackpot games make them nearer to those found at $0.50/$1 or $1/$2. I can see how early isolation raises are of lower value, but I also believe that raising for value with a wider range of hands to 'normal' must be profitable - given the crap that these guys will limp with.

If the rake truly is 2.3BB/100, I would say that you will need to play very well to match that in win rate.

I've been beating the rake for 2.16BB/100.
