Right now I currently do not take out a rake.
This is one of the reasons I keep the prize pools generally low for freerolls. The other reason is liquidity, we just don't have enough users yet. When I see only 5 people enter a 500 point freeroll, not sure it's worth it quite yet.
FRC currently takes a rake, so they offer more freerolls with bigger payouts.
Would you rather we do that here or keep things simple?
I'm not sure rake would be such a good idea tbh....
I think your poker client will attract more attention without a rake for now.
I think rake is OK so long as its reasonable. I was playing 500 point buy-in on FRC heads up, after about 15 min we were both losing like 50 points because of rake. IMO that means that the rake is way way too high. If you kept it at a 3 pt max and no rake unless pot is over X amount then that would be ok. But the rake on FRC, imo, is fucking insane.
Yeah, the rake on certain tables at FRC is total BS. I went all in a hand, ended up chopping, and we both lost money. The rake ended up taking more than the blinds, thats BS.
I think you should have a rake, so you can recoupe some costs, and run bigger freerolls. Just make sure whatever rake you put on is totally reasonable, and very small to start with, and clearly posted somewhere like required at casinos. Only a shady ass place doesnt clearly post their rake.
Rake free would be a good promotion to attract newcomers for the next two months, after that you can introduce some rake in PO
There is a table without rake on FRC. o.o I think rake is ok...but with the few people that go in there, can you really get much off rake? o.o
I set it to like 1 point per 40 chips..
something really low..
I would say to begin no rake should be taken, but in the early future when there is enough players playing and competing in the free rolls than the rake can come into play as there would be traffic, if there is not much traffic than the rake is really not necessary
