Default Re: Rake Question

You pay a dollar before you call, so if there are ten players you all pay a dollar and then all the hole cards are delt, you need to pay a dollar to be in the game.

Is there any level where this could be profitable?

How is this different to paying 5% rake, if all the pots are above $200.

What am I missing, obviously short handed would be a disaster, but playing 10 handed if every pot was greater than $200 you would be better paying $1 per hand than 5% rake????? (provided there was no cap on rake)

Aust Casinos are a rip off, no real competition

But I can tell you that on the Internet, it's a pretty good game if the average pot size is as much as six big bets - that'd be only $60 in your case. Live games run a tad looser but there is still no way the average pot in a typical 5/10 game is even $100 let alone $200. That means you are paying more than twice the worst rake you'd face anywhere else.
