Rake - Poker stuff

My local casino is pissing me off.

In $ equivalents, it has a rake cap of $20, for a $1/$2 NL hold-em game, which is a fucking great business for them, but shit for the players, who would see a maximum of $4 in a typical vegas game.

To top this, they have the following irritations :

You pay for All drinks

You cant eat at the table

No mobile device, can be on the table

They change the dealers every 40 mins, at .which point, they re-count cards/float. The dealers are basically newbies/and whilst not incompetent, not superstars.

So, the whole thing is really slow/expensive.

I think on balance, they can shove it .. and will stick to tournaments.
