2. GGPoker's Rake and the Future of Poker
In light of GGPoker's recent purchase of WSOP for $500 million, Patrick revisits his posts about GGPoker's extremely high rake in cash games, and what the company's entrance into US online poker markets could mean for the future of poker. In this episode, you'll also learn how to calculate how beatable your games are based on the average loss rates of recreational players. Note: I mentioned at 6:40 that most regulars on GGPoker report to me that they get about 3-4 bb/100 in rake back. I should clarify that this is at low-mid stakes. At 5knl+, the rakeback is much lower.
