Be Careful What You Type

I was playing $1/$2 HORSE last night, just getting back into poker after a few weeks off and one player felt he needed to talk some trash after having to fold a junk hand on 6th, the other guy told him he had Aces in the hole and this guy was spouting about how he can't rely on luck; just as I hit the perfect hand:PokerStars Game #19501057463: HORSE (7 Card Stud Limit, $1/$2) - 2008/08/10 - 03:12:14(ET)Table 'Mandeville' 8-max Seat #3 is the buttonSeat 2: rigac27 ($53.85 in chips) Seat 6: PTBalloon ($19.50 in chips) Seat 7: mabel10 ($51.25 in chips) *** 3rd STREET ***Dealt to rigac27 [6h]Dealt to rodneyraider [5d]Dealt to cbond016 [Qc]Dealt to boomer67a [9c]Dealt to PTBalloon [8s 6d 6s]Dealt to mabel10 [5c]rigac27 said, "i actually have to play poker"mabel10: brings in for $0.50rigac27: calls $0.50rodneyraider: folds cbond016: folds boomer67a: folds PTBalloon: calls $0.50*** 4th STREET ***Dealt to rigac27 [6h] [5h]Dealt to PTBalloon [8s 6d 6s] [8h]Dealt to mabel10 [5c] [3c]PTBalloon: checks mabel10: checks rigac27: bets $1PTBalloon: calls $1mabel10: calls $1*** 5th STREET ***Dealt to rigac27 [6h 5h] [Jh]Dealt to PTBalloon [8s 6d 6s 8h] [6c]Dealt to mabel10 [5c 3c] [Kc]PTBalloon: checks mabel10: checks rigac27: bets $2PTBalloon: raises $2 to $4mabel10: calls $4rigac27: raises $2 to $6PTBalloon: raises $2 to $8Betting is cappedmabel10: calls $4rigac27: calls $2*** 6th STREET ***Dealt to rigac27 [6h 5h Jh] [Qs]Dealt to PTBalloon [8s 6d 6s 8h 6c] [Jc]Dealt to mabel10 [5c 3c Kc] [3d]PTBalloon: bets $2mabel10: calls $2rigac27: raises $2 to $4PTBalloon: raises $2 to $6mabel10: calls $4rigac27: raises $2 to $8Betting is cappedPTBalloon: calls $2mabel10: calls $2*** RIVER ***Dealt to PTBalloon [8s 6d 6s 8h 6c Jc] [5s]PTBalloon: bets $1.90 and is all-inmabel10: folds rigac27: calls $1.90*** SHOW DOWN ***PTBalloon: shows [8s 6d 6s 8h 6c Jc 5s] (a full house, Sixes full of Eights)rigac27: mucks hand PTBalloon collected $55.90 from pot*** SUMMARY ***Total pot $56.90 | Rake $1 Seat 2: rigac27 mucked [Kh Qh 6h 5h Jh Qs 2c]Seat 3: rodneyraider (button) folded on the 3rd Street (didn't bet)Seat 4: cbond016 folded on the 3rd Street (didn't bet)Seat 5: boomer67a folded on the 3rd Street (didn't bet)Seat 6: PTBalloon showed [8s 6d 6s 8h 6c Jc 5s] and won ($55.90) with a full house,Sixes full of EightsSeat 7: mabel10 folded on the RiverI got to close the action on 3rd, so I called even though one of my cards the 6 was dead. Then I hit a full house on 5th, right as two players made flushes on 5th, and got a capped bet on 5th and 6th. This is also a good example of why you need to reload when you are low, even in limit.Also note the other player with the flush was good enough to fold his K high flush, even to my less than full river bet. I had notes on him and he's a good player.

Is the rake beatable at those levels in limit?

Is the rake beatable at those levels in limit?

It is if you get a full house and 2 guys make flushes on 5th street.
