First hand I get asked to post my BB of $5, and since i'm sitting in the game with a friend, he's posting too, as is another person (the table is just being formed) so i figure we've got a family pot going on.. then I get told to put in an extra white chip for the $1 "participation fee". What?! Basically, it's the rake. yup, the rake is $1, from every person, for every pot, regardless of whether you see past the flop or not..this s for a 5/10 limit game


So we leave after a couple of orbits (one of my friends up like $400 after hitting quads and KK turned boat) and me down about $60 after chasing down a gutshot WITH odds the whole way.. we go get a few drinks and check out a couple of bars in the city, come back and play the 1c pokies for shits and giggles, and find out they have 10/20 game with a "comission" based rake, basically a % of each pot..sounds much better! So we go on up to the room they hold the game in and buyin, then we get told the rake is 5% of the pot capped at $30! Now being in the shitfaced drunk state that I was, i thought this was a really good deal.. and it still must be better than the $1 per pot/per hand crap they have going on in their 5/10 game but that's fricken HUGE too.. is that game even beatable?? Not being a liimt player and having my mathematical abilities severely compromised atm i can't exactly figure it out so help me out someone

Am I right in thinking this is the WORST casino in the world to play poker in? Rake-wise, that is..
