Default Rake increase... my thoughts

The most productive thing you can do is not think about it. Stick you head in the sand. Nothing you can do will change anything and the ill will/waste of energy IMO is counterproductive to playing good poker.

I disagree. This has significant consequences for many player's bottom lines and possibly the future health of the games. It's not so insignificant as to be ignored.

I don't disagree. This is bad. I'm saying it's better to ignore it since you can't do anything about it.

My only problem with this is that it sets all the players up for a really awful slippery slope situation.

I think completely dismissing that we may as a group be able to do something about is also a mistake. While the chance is slim, it's not none.

Complaints could at least make them reconsider doing it again anytime soon _if there's enough of them_
