Its not fixed....but in the long haul(just like Poker at any Casino where the "house" takes out 10-20%)....the "house" will have all the $$$$, to keep going they need to recruit so many new players every year, something that isn't gonna happen!!! So, a guys gotta get lucky, win big and get out(I won $1,500 in a $1 game TODAY...if I had played this lineup in a $7 game I played with many more players, I'd be winning $200,000 with no players left and 2 games that other players have players left)!
