    Pot total £5.32 7.5% rake =39.9p rounded up to 40p.Each player gets £2.46 =£4.92 + 40p(rake)=£5.32 the pot.

    That's why you don't play cash here.... please do tell me which sites don't charge rake on cash games lol.

    This is 100% standard, it's like saying I won 5 DYMs and lost 5 DYMs and I'm not break even I'm down!! How outrageous.

    No offence but this whole thread is laughable, where do you think Sky make money?

    I think the point that poster was trying to make was that there are sites out there which charge less rake.

    hi Lamby,
    don,t get out of your pram over it.
    Evil,s right.
    there are better places to play imo.
    i,m not saying sky shouldn,t charge rake,of course they should.

    i was simply repling to Clintons post,that,s all.
    if u can,t take someone elses point of view,well that,s not my fault is it
    and let,s face it we all have one,and they are sometimes going to be diferent from yours.
    so,nothing personel buddy.

    cash 4 points....
    you,re havin a giraffe aren,t you.
    at 2p/4p u now get 2 points per hour per table.
    it was bad enough when it was 4 points.
    ok,u now get the so called "happy hours" which bring it up to the old 4 points per hour,
    "BIG DEAL"
    oh,and they,ve taken away the £1000 freeroll 4 all the players that can,t  get to 500 points.
    once again the little micro players have to suffer.
    yeh,i,m havin a moan....
    pity more people don,t,then just maybe something might get done about it.!!!

    Well yeah but it is well known that the lower stakes you go, the higher the rake gets, and this is a hand from the lowest possible stakes.

    hi lambert,
    yes i appreciate the lower u play the higher the rake,
    as i play dym,s here at sky,that is also the case.
    what i am trying to put forward is that as usual the micro players are being exploited imo.,
    and i,m simply saying that this is wrong.
    i know i,m not going to win this discussion or make any friends
    but that,s fine by me.
    if people want to play here @ 2p/4p good luck to them,i,m sure there are some that do quite well.
    god knows,i,ve played some hours,and yes i did make money from them.
    but come on...2 points per hour per table.
    :-(

    i dont mind about the rake as long as im winning money :)
  • edited May 2012
    I think Devon puts a good point across here. And recently i have been considering my options when it comes to cash games and what site i shall be using.
    For NL10 and below Sky has very high rake in comparison to some of the other sites, i don't quite understand why both sites provide the same thing so why does Sky charge more than average.
    I must agree though from NL20 and above Sky's rake structure isn't too bad and very reasonable. Its just lower down that is the problem.

    NL20+ i choose SKY
    NL10- i'm starting to see more value elsewere.

    You've taken my money on cash S&G's more than a few times!
    Don't know whether i'm playing poker or gardening
    keep on forking out
    Digging holes with spades
    filling pots with garden gates
    then Sky hit me with a rake

    I know sky have to make money but didnt know it was that much! 40p is a bit excessive imo
  • edited May 2012
    Just be glad you didn't both have full stacks lol...

    To be fair, it was 34p not 40p, and that's only 17p each, so in the grand scheme of things, you only lost 4BBs, which yeah is a bit horrible when you get AA in pre flop but hey it's better than losing :)

    I think if you can't beat the rake maybe cash games aren't for you?

    todays show on JEZZA KYLE poker player gets screwed over for 34p which coulda been spent on a bad of pork scratchings :)

    I kind of have sympathy for the original poster here. You have a winning hand and still end up losing money. Doesn't seem right to me.

    But again, that's the nature of the beast with rake. Like if you play 50 DYMs and win 26 of them, you'll have won more than you lost, but that doesn't change the fact you will have made a loss during them 50 games. You need to beat the rake before you can start making money.
