No Rake Poker?

edited January 2014 in Poker Chat
I was watching the New Zealand v India ODI this morning, seething on 2 counts.

1. I wanted India to lose
2. I always get annoyed by the way the adverts in a cricket game still fit into the uniform ad breaks every 15 mins on all channels so I have to suffer them.

Anyway,

could you have a poker table that charged less or no rake but had adverts on it to offset the losses.

e.g. micro stakes could have adverts for Farm Foods or Lidl and the higher stakes could have adverts for companies that sell gold bullion or whatever else rich people like??

    Have suggested this before, but offsetting the 'losses' is as easy as not awarding players any rakeback points. 

    Just 'low rake' tables. 

    P.S why didn't Jadeja try to run 2?

    thought of 2 reasons,

    1. Mysterious asian bookies stand to gain the most from an unlikely result such as a draw.

    2. Protecting his average??

    Given the circumstances, 2) is more likely.

    But averages aren't everything.

    Trott has been protecting his for years and has ended up going crackers.

    Mitch' Mac shud be banned.

    To be fair to him he blatantly had Jadeja out and some of the wide calls were harsh.

    I heard he's stated a cricket is rigged thread on cricinfo
