OK explain this rake to me

OK if I play 25nl and I win someone's stack I get incurred like $2.50 in rake. The guy kicking Patrik Antonius in the ass is playing 500/1000 nl on FullTilt right now and he gets charged $0.50 for winning $42,000 on one hand.

they hate you IMO, probably a deal that was set up with Patrick when they made those tables.

Happens when any "pro" plays on FT, the rake is not what it should be, I noticed it a long time ago.

Patrick is sleeping with ft is the only logical answer imo.

But i wonder why Patrick didnt re-raise his flush on the river? Guess i will never understand that(maby they reason he is playing 100K NL and im at 10-25?)

I like Munchr's explination. Good thing Stars LOVES me And I love them.

Definitely a deal they have with their "pros". Gotta give them yet one more thing in life. The rest of us get it square in the !%$*&.

ORRRRRRRRR maybe its because antonius needs the flush first before he can raise with it

Quick question, aren't all cash hu games on ft fixed with the same rake limit, or did it used to be like that

lol my bad i read it the other way around

Must be a special deal with the PROs at FT.

No special deals here. This is your answer:
