Absolute raking from pots that never see a flop

[Magikist]

Absolute Poker is now raking out of pots that simply get folded around. Is this the industry norm? I can't recall ever seeing this before.

In addition, though the max rake does not seem to have gone up, they are maxing in smaller pots (less than 1 BB, so almost EVERY pot is maxxed).

The upshot of this is that short games, and especially heads up, have now become prohibitively expensive. This new change smacks of sheer, unaldulterated greed.

The only bright side is that bonus whores may clear bonuses faster (but lose more to the rake in the process).
