Confirmed.
The rake for the 2/3 NLH $100-300 game is increased to 5+1!
According to the floorman it is directly due to the $5 promotion running. Once the promotion stops running I doubt they will reduce the rake. Surprisingly, the floorman said all games in the plaza have the same rake which doesn't sound right. How can the 2/3 NLH, 5/10, NLH, 20/40 LH, etc. all have the same rake?! This change is making me second guess the Bike being my favorite casino. If I continue to play at Bike it will be the $200-500, especially if it has the same rake as the $100-300.
