...or do you mean rake should be adjusted across the board, not just by tier?
It should effectively be lowered everywhere.
But if you tier all of the pros against just the pros, you're going to need to create an incentive for your cash cows to keep butting heads against each other.
The other main point was about the short slate days. The rake on those days should be a fraction of what it is on normal days. If you are playing a H2H and you share 5 of the same players, guess what, the only winner is FD/DK. Which in and of itself isn't a horrible thing, but if you want to keep stressing the skill argument and keep telling people on the radio/tv to come flex their fantasy sport skills....creating unbeatable games isn't the way to do it.
By far the scariest part of how DK/FD have been run thus far is that I feel like they are being run entirely to create huge numbers and gaudy **** to present in commercials and with virtually no concern for the long term longevity of the games. They have an actual real life idea/product/market/innovative item here and if they handle it correctly it can last a really long time. But all they want to do is allow people to enter 5,000 games a weekend(seriously wtf) and enter who knows how many MM entries in order to shove some slightly higher guarantee down our throats.
Help people have fun and help lots of people make a little money and this product can be massive and stable and fun as hell. Rake the **** out of everyone and let everyone go against Condia 5,000 times a day and people will get bored of it just like they did poker.
