Highest rake in the industry on cashgames atm
What the hell are you talking about?
Poker stars: 4.5% rounded UP cap @ 0.30-5.00
Seals. : 2.5% rounded DOWN cap @ 0.24 - 4.00
5 Chips rake ~ 4,2$
Other rooms charging 3$ or less, on top of rakeback and bonuses, so yeah...
If youre so seriously baller that you are paying three dollar rake at stars (that's 2kNL BTW) then you would not be complaining about rake lol.
At 10nl (or btc eqv) you pay $1.50 at stars or $0.30 at seals.
25nl $2 stars. 75¢ seals.
And like micon said. Play short handed with rake back? Pay less than half that.
But yeah... Since you pay $3vs4 at seals then you must feel that dollar difference up at 2000nl when you rake those $5k pots.
Micon has to be nice. I dont.
You're full of shit. I'm all in.
nl200 stars = 2.8$ in rake cap.
nl200 SWC ~ 4.2$ in rake cap.
and stars have a vip program that gives decent rewards. To get any with SWC you have to rake for a gazzilion.
Were getting closer to reasonable numbers now. But even at these stakes many, if not most pots will be cheaper than at stars. When stacks go in the middle seals costs a buck fourty more. At this stake. But this is waaaay different than "highest rake in the industry".
Also when the current rake was instituted 5chips was around $2.
The reason I am on this so hard is SWC has had the LOWEST rake in the industry for 2 years. Not until the last WEEK have higher stakes seen a small inflation in the cap.
Freemoney has been constantly lowering the rake. I imagine if btc doesn't correct he will likely lower the chip cap.
But throwing around accusations of "highest rake in the industry" is just unreasonable.
