Or $10 poker rake? 🤢

They’re adding an additional $2 for the high hand and bad beat jackpot next month

12 bucks for a 1/3 pot? In five minutes the house makes more than the entire table's hourly rate.

That’s assuming the pot is $100 at least.

Yup. I figured 20 bucks in rake is totally possible in 2 out of 60 hands...

Better off playing PLO. Just like 6:5 Blackjack.. the writing is on the wall with poker. I reckon Encore is 5-8 years ahead of the industry’s time with the rake and promo drops.

Yeah. 2/5, 5/10 is really where it's going. I feel that as a player, even without a bank roll. A $200 win 20 years ago at 1/2 should probably a 550 win at 2/5 now. The extra 50 bucks is saving in rake!
