Rake or fee?

Postby Professor » Mon Mar 28, 2005 7:59 am

I apologize in advance if this is not posted in the right forum.

I play 1/2 NL - $100 max buy-in at a local casino. Up until recently, the rake was a max of $4 per hand. They now require a "session fee" of $5 per player per half-hour with no rake, which they collect at the dealer change.

This session fee has caused quite a debate among the regulars. A number of playeres insist that the change was put in place for the casino's best interest and isn't fair to the players, while the floor maintains it is a positive for all of the parties concenred (house, dealers and players).

Thoughts... opinions... incoherent ramlbings?

Well in NL the house usually deals 30-40 hands an hour. The average player win 10% of the pots they play. So its seems to me that them making you play $10 an hour, instead of taking $12-$16 and hour in rake seems like a good deal for the players. Hopefully not to much of an incoherent rambling.
