Default Re: Time vs Rake

With a $4 rake, there only has to be 25 hands/hr for the casion to make as much as they do for $5/half hr. If you figure that not every hand is raked the max, maybe 35 hands are required (though I don't think it is usually that many). So I think the Casino usually takes more money off the table in rake games. Therefore I prefer time.

If a bad player is going broke from busting his 100 dollar buyin he shouldn't be at the casino period. I always here this comment about why casinos don't like nl. But have you ever watched roulette, the tilters all go bust with a minutes. Every casino has that game though? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Um, when a roulette player goes bust, the casino rejoyces. They have all their money.

When a poker player goes bust, the casino isn't so happy because now some rock has all the money (or worse, the game breaks), and the casino will never get it.

But the casino gets to take all of the roulette player's money. In poker, they only take the rake. If they lose $500 in one hour, they are only making a couple of dollars from the person.

Well I think your using extreme examples on both ends (time charge is generally more, rake is generally less)

Ill give two examples for 1/2/2 NL:

Casino San Pablo.. rake is 3$ every pot no matter what
Lucky Chance's.. time charge is 6$ every half hour
suppose 30 hands/hr, and you win 10% of hands (keep in mind you have to account for time lost with dealer changes, calling floor man over, using new decks)

So 30 hands/hr = you win 3 hands/hr = you pay 9$ in rake
6$ every half an hour = you pay 12$ in rake

Now suppose your a tight player like me and only win 2 times every hour. Then you end up paying 6$ in rake.. half the amount youd lose at a time charge casino.

Hence I dont play 1/1/2 NL at Lucky Chance's... the charge is too high..
