The hand he is referring to is this (notice how deep they are):

Then I asked the question how deep would I have to make folding kings correct. I went through all the math and realized you have to be exteremly deep to fold KK HU. I won't bore you with it but its not even close at 300BB. I was shocked and realized the hand was just a cooler.

Those games seems to play so aggressive that I understand what he says about having to be extremely deep to fold kings.

Yea yea yea they don't get raked much but they're basically advertising for Full Tilt playing there at those stakes. They are also receiving more than 100% rakeback.

HU pots are raked up to $0.50 max. The stakes are irrelevant.

I'm sure his rakeback must be a real deal breaker for him, like $500 a month or something and he's betting 100 grand on a hand...
