i spent all day yesterday playing HU at various sites, $5ers

both Titan and pokerstars take 0.25, for the rake

partypoker take $1 .

how can they justify that ?

I would never pay that amount of rake. Were they filling up quick or did you have to wait a while to get a match going?

Yeah, my advice to you is to never play those. I'd have to do the math, but your winrate would need to be a lot higher on PartyPoker HUs in order to justify playing those versus Pstars/Titan

Holy schneikes! That is a stiff rake. Sounds like the only winner there is the house. Can't keep the games going if you gouge your customers so bad. Thanks for the tip.

Ive always disagreed with the rake on all poker sites. I understand they have to make money as well but collecting 15% - 25% is a little high in my opinion
