Cool thread, just what I was looking for.
The only casino (for poker) I've been to is Greektown and this was about 2 years ago (2008), so when I keep hearing "the new room is better", have they made a new one?
Anyway, my goal is to learn about the rake structure and what is the best way to go. I remember when I played at G'town the rake was 7$ every half hour. When checking MGM I found:

The “rake” will be placed in the rack at the end of each round.
In your opinions would you rather be raked hourly or have it taken from the pots? And am I reading that correctly, "
10% after each round up to $6"?
Through word of mouth (by people who don't know how to play poker) I hear that MGM is the best as far as poker goes, but on here I see a mix of opinions. Taking rake into consideration, what do you think is the best casino to play poker at? The 2/5NL games are the ones I'm interested in but would probably start off at 1/2 to get the feel for the live scene. Do you consider 1/2 to be a waste of time considering the rake?
Thanks all!
