Interpoker's Ridiculous Rake!

[lordofelt 0]

I play on a bunch of sites and every month I make a deposit to Interpoker to get the $100 reload bonus they have every month but after looking at their rake I'm thinking it's a losing proposition. I was sitting at a 5/10 Limit HU table with $100 and another guy sat down with $100. I busted him in 18 hands and was alarmed to look down and see that I only had $179 in my stack! I looked thru the history and realized the rake in the 18 hands was:$1, .50, .50, 1, 2.50, 1.50, 1.50, .50, .50, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1.50, .5, .5 and 2 hands with no rake.Now I haven't ever really looked at the rakes around but this seems ridiculously high to me. I always like getting the $100 bonus each month but now I'm thinking its a losing proposition with such high rakes. I also now know why my Interpoker rakeback is big each month.

The Poker Room network is worse, and Party is just as bad.THe only place with noticable better rake structure is Poker Stars, which doesn't have HU tables at that limit.

yeah its a f££king joke.its a shame that there isnt some sort of representation for this kind of thing within the poker community.i use this is the nuts . com to get rakeback on there. and in under 4 days i had raked them $400. thats sick. i cant believe how much they make of us.its daylight robbery.so anyway, im trying to earn my bonus, the 100% thing, and ive eventually lost 486$ doing so, when i finally release it and go on a run up to $1000.then i try and cash out the $1000, and ecash direct say sorry, you can have $486. the amount you put on. this is a joke! its like your not allowed to win.anyway, so i go to get a cheque and change the address to get the cheque to where im studying at uni, and ofcourse they change my pin number..which is f££king stupid anyway...I CAN DEPOSIT AT WILL WITHOUT A PIN, but i want my money, I NEED A PIN.and when i change address they say theyre sending a new pin, and ill have to wait to get it to withdraw.i go on to lose the other $500 of the money in a series of bad beats.its very annoying indeed that these places take advantage in every situation they can.someone needs to be shot.it actually makes me want to puke.espescially cos i can see ive made them $400 in rake.i break even. i suppose it could be worse.something needs to change.thats why i like pokerstars and ladbrokes (im english)no, rakeback, no bonus. but they are honest. the banking is so good.and pokerstars support are amazing.theres my thoughts.please let me know any rethoughts.tom.

Online poker = small rakeAt a B&M... anytime there is a flop, regardless of pot size, there is a max rake (10-20 and higher: min. $5; anything below: $4). Online is better any day of the week. Plus you get rakeback.

I think the general consensus is that rake at HU tables for low to mid stakes are extremely high and they make the tables barely worth playing unless you're against someone absolutely terrible.If you enjoy playing heads up and short handed play, you should sign up for one of those prop sites. You get 100% rakeback for starting games up.http://www.premierpokerprops.com/
