When is the Rake too much ?

[Belgareth]

Just wanted your thoughts on this. I dont have many local games near me but found a very good value game in a snooker club which is only about 20 mins away. Generally I have been beating the cash game and doing well but the rake is doing my head in. They take 5% which is not too bad But the problem I have is that is capped at a massive £15. :wall It is only a small game £1 £1 NL Holdem or Pot Limit Omaha. Most people sit down with about £100 some with less. The rake is taking at least £500 a night from this one table. I cant see how the game can last long term or even if it is beatable long term even with really bad players in it. What is the max rake you would pay to play in a game and still see it as reasonable ?

Re: When is the Rake too much ? suprised no responce to this as I can see this is critical to why there are not more live cash pros in the UK. Tried another club tonight 5% rake upto £25 a hand OMG really £25 a hand thats mental. In Vegas I was paying $3 to $4 per pot and free drinks. Thats why they have pros playing in their card rooms as they can still make a living and the card room still makes a very nice profit. I'm really not suprised that the clubs around here have only 1 cash table running. Around here u have to pay for any drinks and get bent over by the rake.:spank Makes you want to stick to only playing their tournies. Anyway gripe over.... :\
