Originally by: Benny J Imagine if all casinos had a 10% rake..
I'd be seriously ****ed at a 10% rake, but hey that's because I know better. Good luck at the tables, and while you guys risk a little bit of money for a lot, realize who's making out in this deal and start your own poker business with a smaller rake. If this industry is going to get started then we need another casino to compete with this one. While they have the monopoly though, I guess I'll just opt out until I find a more reasonable casino. --------------------

First, I didn't play at any casinos, and I don't really know about casino rakes. Regarding poker tournament entry fees, almost all major poker sites operate on a ~10% rake for small and medium stakes tournaments. For instance, Full Tilt Poker: 1$ entry fee, plus 25 cents rake (25%) 2$ entry fee, plus 25 cents rake (12.5%) 100$ entry fee, plus 9$ rake (9%) etc

Edited by: Wieting Foyu on 27/12/2007 15:33:41 It all depends on the casino. In Tampa FL the norm is 10-20% rake. Most poker online sites are between 5-30%. And according to most poker rules 10% is the general norm.

Oh I got so excited when I saw this on the newsfeed. I thought gambling was finally being integrated into the eve client. Well I can wait some more. I've heard plenty of talk from CCP about this becoming a reality, I guess this is just testing the water with a differnt client to see what audience is being targeted/how many/ ect, ect...

If you know a casino, that hosts texas holdem tables and takes less than a 10% rake, I'll be there as often as possible...
The casino I play at, has a wsop poker room (yes, they host wsop tournaments) and they charge either: every 30 minutes, a set amount (depending on stakes of table) for no limit... or 20% of pot, for limit tables. They also charge 20% for sit and go tables, and 15% for multiple player tournament tables...
That is all.

If you download the full client (about 300mb) you will find a single player game, which has tutorials and all kinds of tables versus computer players. It's pretty good, try it out.

Why don't you use Pogo.com and use a private table with password which is only handed out here.
No Limit Texas Holdem has 4 players, 5,000 tokens for free (Fake tokens) you can assign each token a value like, well 100,000,000/5,000 = 20,000 ISK
High Stakes Poker is also 4 players, start with 5,000 tokens again.
Omaha Poker is kind of like Holdem but with a bonus card (If you set the game like that) You can have 6 players at the table - again 5,000 free fake tokens. It's slightly different, you can have 6 players, you are dealt 4 cards but only can use 2 from your hand. There are 5 cards drawn and there is a bonus (if you play that way).
The only reason I bring this up is because at some point the website you're using may eventually close to the US permanently.
Pogo has been on-line for at least 10 years and is available everywhere in the world. The only small compensation is 1) You could actually win real money if you "spin" the jackpot on the website (Extremely rare), but it could happen. This is actually a function within the website itself. 2) Every 10 minutes of play there is a 30 second ad.
You may want to check it out it might be an alternative website to use.
