    Default 1/1 weired rake structure

    So this is mostly for fun, but since it's the ultimate donk game live, and the only one I'm rolled for I was wondering about the rake.
    I wish I had payed more attention. But the way it looks pots aren't raked preflop.
    Once it goes to the flop you pay €1 rake up to €20, and €1 goes into a retarded high-hand jackpot... so yeah... basically unbeatable.
    BUT... It's a really strange combination of level-0, spewage and scared money... scared level0 spewage. I picked up most pots where I tried to isolate or 3-bet in position, and c-bets usually worked because they simply don't play back with air or draws.
    So basically I think I should be isolating and 3-betting quite a bit more in this game... and it sure doesn't hurt to have an aggressive image in a live game.
    In reality I think it needs to be even softer than it is... every now and then you have to tip the dealer... they're payed badly enough as it is... +Drinks and gas money and I guess you're lucky to break even.

    Max rake is €2 for pots over €20, but the high hand jackpot is what really makes it ridiculous.
    Average buy-in is €50 - minimum is €20. There are usually 2-5 players with €100 or more.
    I'm pretty sure a win rate that makes this better than break-even is archievable. It's definitely not profitable... but I'd still rather play this than a donkament until I'm rolled for 200NL.
