Hello all,
Played live for the first time last week- a 1-3 game in California. It was a lot of fun.
A few hands in, I discovered that the dealer takes 6 dollars out of every pot on the flop, $1 on the turn, and $1 on the river. Ridiculous. ( There was a limped 2 player hand where the pot was $0 on the turn... really made my brain hurt to watch that one!)
I just wanted to know what to expect out of live cash games... there has to be better spots than this, even in CA, but what are the typical rake structures?
This casino is close to my house, but I wasn't sure this spot could be long-term profitable if the rake is that high. How do you account for rake vs. bad players when determining if you should play at a certain place? Curious what live grinders think.
